Charlotte Tomblin Fales was born in West Brookfield on September 14, 1871. Her parents were George H. Fales and Laurinda Tomblin, both West Brookfield natives. Charlotte graduated from the music department of Wesleyan Academy in Monson (later Monson Academy) in 1891. An accomplished pianist and organist, she served the Congregational church in West Brookfield for a total of fifty years, retiring in 1963. She also was the organist for the Ware Congregational Church for a time.
Charlotte was an active member of the West Brookfield Congregational Church where she belonged to the social and charitable society; as well as, the parish auxiliary. She was also a Red Cross volunteer and a member of the Quaboag Historical Society.

The West Brookfield Historical Commission has a file containing information on the Fales family. The file includes handwritten notes and family trees. Some of the notes were written on small pieces of paper about 2"X 3" probably by Charlotte's sister Marguerita (Fales) Fuguet. The file also contains information on the Tomblin and Rice families.
