Returning from school in Philadelphia in 1839, he taught school for seven years and then opened a general store in <a href="/wiki/Millsboro,_Delaware" title="Millsboro, Delaware">Millsboro</a>, Delaware. His primary occupation was farming the extensive real estate he owned. Eventually he became one of the major peach growers in eastern Sussex County. Stockley married Ellen Anderson in 1859, and they had one child, Hannah. They lived on Cedar Lane (State Rd 318) southeast of Georgetown, near the present-day airport, and were members of <a href="/wiki/St._Paul%27s_Episcopal_Church_(Georgetown,_Delaware)" title="St. Paul's Episcopal Church (Georgetown, Delaware)">St. Paul's Episcopal Church</a>. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Professional_and_political_career">Professional and political career</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Charles_C._Stockley&action=edit&section=2" title="Edit section: Professional and political career"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>Stockley served as Sussex County Treasurer before becoming Sussex County Sheriff in 1856. He was later elected to the state senate, where he served in the 1873/74 and 1875/76 sessions. During the latter session, he held the position of Speaker. Nearly eight years later the Democrats recruited him as their candidate for governor. After defeating Albert Curry of <a href="/wiki/Greenwood,_Delaware" title="Greenwood, Delaware">Greenwood</a>, the Republican candidate, he served as governor from January 16, 1883 until January 18, 1887. </p><p>The majority Democratic Party still described itself as, “the White Man’s Party”, and still promoted thinking that could criticize African American voting rights, as an “insane policy of investing an ignorant and inferior race with the sacred rights of the ballot.” Nevertheless, now twenty years after the <a href="/wiki/American_Civil_War" title="American Civil War">Civil War</a>, the first stirrings of tolerance were heard. Stockley, on his retirement, noted that “Our colored citizens are improving their advantages by laudable efforts to acquire homes for themselves and education for their children. The prejudice against their enfranchisement is fast disappearing, and I trust will soon pass away forever." </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Death_and_legacy">Death and legacy</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Charles_C._Stockley&action=edit&section=3" title="Edit section: Death and legacy"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>Stockley died at his home and is buried in the St. Paul's Episcopal Churchyard at Georgetown. </p><p>The Stockely Center, a facility of the Delaware Department of Health and Social Services, is named in his honor because of his early advocacy of services for the "feebly-minded." </p> <table class="wikitable" style="text-align: center;" align="center"> <tbody><tr bgcolor="#cccccc"> <th colspan="12" style="background: #ccccff;"><b><a href="/wiki/Delaware_General_Assembly" title="Delaware General Assembly">Delaware General Assembly</a></b> <br /> <small> <i>(sessions while Governor)</i></small> </th></tr> <tr> <th><b>Year</b> </th> <th><b>Assembly</b> </th> <th> </th> <th><b>Senate Majority</b> </th> <th><b>Speaker</b> </th> <th> </th> <th><b>House Majority</b> </th> <th><b>Speaker</b> </th></tr> <tr> <td>1883–1884 </td> <td><a href="/wiki/Delaware_General_Assembly" title="Delaware General Assembly">82nd</a> </td> <td> </td> <td style="color:black;background-color:#B0CEFF"><a href="/wiki/Democratic_Party_(United_States)" title="Democratic Party (United States)">Democratic</a> </td> <td style="color:black;background-color:#B0CEFF">Samuel B.
