Charles was a grocer and, later, the Supervisor of the Bridgton district of the Central Maine Power Company. He was well-respected throughout the community. Emma was an outstanding educator in the public school system of Bridgton. She was the only woman to be elected Supervisor of Schools there. "As a teacher, supervisor, and school committee member she maintained a lifelong interest in education. She was so respected that, although in those days the supervisor was elected at town meeting on a party ticket, the opposing party on several occasions presented no candidate against Mrs. Gleason" (Shorey, HISTORY OF BRIDGTON, MAINE [op. cit.], 235). After she left the teaching profession, Emma became the Central Maine Power Company's Bridgton Office Manager and Bookkeeper, working alongside Charles for several years. They had no children.
