Premise: Charles Edward Huber (c. 1845–1904) was from a well-known family in Los Angeles, California, at the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries and served on the city's governing body, the Common Council, between 1873 and 1875. Near the end of his life he was engaged in several court cases and was sent to a state hospital for the mentally ill.
Hypothesis: Charles was never part of the Common Council.
