Early life
Karl C. Schuyler was a descendant of Philip Schuyler, who sat as a delegate to the Continental Congress. Charles himself, who grew up in Colorado Springs, as a young man on the railroad, in order to finance his studies. He enrolled at the University of Denver, where he earned his law degree in 1898. In the same year he was inducted into the Anwaltskamnmer of Colorado.

A renewed candidacy was unsuccessful.

Then, on 17 July 1933 during a stay in New York, he was hit in Central Park by a car and seriously injured. So he retired to a broken pelvis and internal injuries. Two weeks the doctors fought for his life, but lost Schuyler on July 31, 1933 this fight, when he died at the age of 56 years at Lenox Hill Hospital.
