Geneva financier, philanthropist, and

president of the Geneva State Bank.

Also buried here are his father and

mother, James and Elizabeth, his

eldest son, Blaine, died in the First

World War. The younger Blaine Sloan, son of Charles' second son, Charles Porter (buried elsewhere in this cemetery), was Deputy Legal Counsel and Director of General Legal at the United Nations and a professor of international law.
