Charles Konju

Charles Konju was an American railroad worker. He is known for being the uncle of Thomas J. Konju.

Konju was born on February 6, 1907 in Baltimore, Maryland to John and Edith Konju. The Konju family had immigrated to the United States in 1860 and moved to Baltimore in 1900. When Konju was five years old, his brother James was born.

Upon turning 21, Konju moved up north to New York City, and worked on the New York City Subway, renting an apartment from Stanley Johnson. Konju was a devoted employee of the Subway. However, his excessive smoking led to health problems and he suffered a fatal heart attack on November 6, 1953.

Not knowing that he was deceased, Konju's nephew Thomas (who ran away from his home in Annapolis in 1946), went to live with Konju in 1957.
