(Research):This is the family at the time of the 1880 Federal Census. Note that a 16 year old Charles Tenopir is living nearby. It would appear that they are part of the same family due to the relative rarity of the name. Also, I assumed that that the ALBERT TENOPIR who was born in 1864 and who married Anna RACEK is part of this family. Perhaps one of the two "Charle's" listed below is him:
