Meadows was born on March 10, 1859 along Elbow Creek near modern-day Visalia, California, the 6th of 12 children of John Meadows Sr.[1] After Abraham Lincoln became president, his father changed his name to Charles, moving the family to a ranch in Diamond Valley north of Payson, Arizona. On July 15, 1882 John Meadows Sr. was killed by a party of Cibecue Apaches led by Natiotish, who killed his elder brother Henry, leaving him the man of the house. In 1884 Charlie and John C. Chilson organized the Payson Rodeo, which claims to be America's first continuous rodeo. Meadows died on December 9, 1932 in Yuma, Arizona, at the age of 73. See also
