Charles Seidler was the 20th Mayor of Jersey City, New Jersey from May 1, 1876 to May 5, 1878.

Traphagen was born on May 24, 1839, in Münden, Germany. He was the son of Joseph Seidler and Charlotte Hildebrand. His mother died shortly after and he then immigrated to New York City with his father in 1842. His father died in 1851, forcing Siedler to find work. He eventually joined the P. Lorillard Tobacco Company in the Bronx. He married Julia T. Franklin and had five children; Ella M., Pierre Lorillard, Julia, Charlotte M. and George J. By 1868, Seidler became a partner of Pierre Lorillard. Shortly after, the company moved to downtown Jersey City in 1872. Later, Seidler became the president of the Bergen Savings Bank.

The Republicans, who needed a candidate, talked Siedler into running for mayor of Jersey City. Seidler was elected as Jersey City's second Republican mayor and served one two-year term. [William Edgar Sackett, Modern Battles of Trenton Volumn 2 (The Neale Publishing Company, New York, 1914)] He was dissatisfied with politics and left after his term was served in 1878. Less then two months later on June 28, 1878, his wife Julia died. On October 28, 1879, Siedler married Grace Syms of Hoboken. He retired from P. Lorillard Co. in 1894. He later moved to Bloomfield, New Jersey where he died on June 28, 1921. Seidler is buried in Bayview/New York Bay Cemetery in Jersey City.
