From 1901 to 1935, the governor-general was the chief political executive of the Philippines, when the country was governed by the United States of America.
The Charles E. Yeater Learning Center[3] at State Fair Community College in Sedalia is named for him.
He served as Democratic member of the Missouri Senate in 1892, and was a supporter of the legislation to move the Missouri State Capital from Jefferson City to Sedalia, which failed in the popular vote.[4]
He is buried at Crown Hill Cemetery, Sedalia, Missouri.
