George W. Charles
George W. Charles, the candidate for county commissioner, is one of the sturdy and substantial farmers of Washington Township. Mr. Charles was born in Cuyahoga County, Dec. 17, 1830. He came to Richland County in 1841 and has resided in Washington Township ever since, except about three years that he resided in Monroe Township and one year in Troy Township. He has served eight years as Trustee of Washington Twp., two years as Township Treasurer and 15 years as member of the Township School Board. He was married in 1848 to Hester Young (now deceased) of Washington Township, and his family consists of two sons and two daughters. Mr. Charles is in every respect qualified for the office he seeks, and as the Republicans have clamored for years for "minority representation" he should be elected as the board already consists of two Republicans and one Democrat whose successor is to be elected this year.
