CHARLES P. AU, son of the late Charle and Ellen (McGrisken) Au, was born in 1877 on the farm of J. Pierpont
Morgan in the town of Highland, where his father was engaged as a carpenter. After finishing his schooling he learned
the barber's trade, in which business he has met with much success. In 1898 he received the appointment as barber
in the United States Cadet Barracks at West Point and has retained the position continuously to the present time.
He also conducted a shop at Highland Falls for a period of five years. Mr. Au is active in the support of the republican
party. In 1906 he was nominated for supervisor and in an unusual election was defeated by the close margin of twenty-four
votes. Mr. Au is a member of the Knights of Columbus and the A. O. H. He married Miss Katherine Powers and they
are the parents of two boys and one girl.
