Charles and brother Aaron, along with Aaron's sons Attwood and Norman, also opened a brickyard at Snook's Harbour. | |||
{{Blockquote | |||
| text = When fire leveled the brickyard (of The Brick and Tile Manufacturing Company in Elliott's Cove) in the fall of 1903, (the company) decided to move elsewhere. The company reorganized into the Newfoundland Brick and Manufacturing Company Limited in 1904 to make sand and lime bricks in St. John's, but closed in 1908. Living in Elliott's Cove when The Brick and Tile Manufacturing Company first arrived in 1890, were three Smith brothers; Thomas, Aaron and Charles. Lumbermen Aaron and Charles became intrigued by the company's brickworks. They observed it closely and in 1895 opened up their own small brickyard in Snook's Harbour on the opposite side of Random Island. | |||

Like some other members of the family, much of Charles' lineage seems to have emigrated to the New England area, especially Lynn, Massachusetts. | |||
