Charlotte Keckler was a fraud and a professional liar as the following data proves beyond a doubt.
Charlotte Edna Keckler was born Rhoda Edna Cackler April 12th 1898 in Lucas Co. Iowa to her parents William Henry Cackler & Cora Belle Triggs. Her parents married April 18th 1888 in Spencer, Clay, Iowa and they had 9 children, four boys & five girls, Charlotte ( Rhoda) was the fifth in line. Charlotte was named after her paternal grandmother who was Rhoda Charlotte Porter and used her grandmother’s second name for her fictitious name along with a corrupted version of her family name.
The family was definitely not catholic as Charlotte’s grandmother divorced her husband, and Charlotte’s grandfather’s brother also divorced and remarried. Apparently Charlotte’s grandparents on both sides moved to Lucas Co. to settle it. They were of some Protestant denomination, perhaps Lutherans? So all her rant of “I was reared in a devout Roman Catholic home” is completely false. If Charlotte had been reared a catholic she would know perfectly well that the teachings she declares are catholic as regards telling lies and robbing up to $40 are totally false and a medieval invention by Protestant Churches to discredit the Catholic Church.
William, Cora and their first five children (Charlotte aged 2) were living in Doyle Township Hopeville town, Clarke, Iowa on the 1900 census.
By 1910 they had moved to Wolf River, Doniphan, Kansas. The next two children after Charlotte were born in Missouri and the last two were born in Kansas. (Charlotte is age 12 on this census).
On the 1920 census the family is at Hiawatha, Brown, Kansas, and Charlotte is 21. The family name is miss transcribed as Cacler.
In 1925 according to Kansas State census Charlotte is still in Kansas.
The 1930 census finds her parents and her youngest sibling in Sabetha, Nemaha, Kansas.
And Charlotte was in Hiawatha, Brown County, Kansas age 30, should be 32 in 1930! working at a hospital and as a bookkeeper.
So how does this lady manage to be with her parents until 1925 and at the same time declares she had been locked away in a convent since 1910 With difficulty I would think!
According to the 1940 census, Charlotte was living in Moline, Rock Island, Illinois in 1935.
The following is the information on her 1940 census record and her name is Rhoda C. Keckler, this is the first reference to having changed her surname.
She was lodging and lived at 19th Street, Moline, Rock Island, Illinois
High school 4th year, nurse, age 34, (42 would be correct) why did she lie about her age?
Her Uncle John Cackler lived in Moline ward 4, Rock Island, Ill. On the 1920 & 1930 census. This town was 400 miles from Sabetha, Nemaha, where Charlotte's’ father lived.
When her eldest brother died in 1975 Charlotte was named as Miss Rhoda Kackler and was in Napa California. He was a member of the Christian Church.
It is clear from all this data that Charlotte never left the USA for any length of time and was never locked away in a convent.
This guy claims “I helped publish the book Charlotte wrote, FROM CONVENT TO PENTECOST. She was in a convent in Quebec, Canada. Charlotte WAS a Carmelite nun. She would not say it was in Canada during her testimony. But it was.”
Sorry to say the first Carmelite convent in Quebec, Canada was founded from USA in 1877 and only lasted until 1877 due to lack of numbers and revenue. The sisters returned to USA. The second attempt was made in 1951 and was a success, so that couldn't be true!
