Charles H. Dunlap
Arizona, The Youngest State, 1913

Charles H. Dunlap, controlling a growing business conducted under the name of the People's 
Ice and Fuel Company of which he is secretary, was born in Missouri July 5, 1862.  His 
youthful days were spent in a manner not unsimilar to that of most boys of the period, 
his time being divided between the acquirement of an education and the work of the home farm.  
In early manhood his energies were devoted to the cultivation of the fields, but attracted 
by the opportunities of the southwest, he removed to Phoenix in December 1895, and has 
since been connected with commercial pursuits. Indeed he had known something of the state 
prior to that year, having first come to Arizona in 1881 spending a year in Tombstone and 
Tucson.  Following his location in Phoenix he engaged in the ice business and rapidly 
developed a good trade which has grown in volume and importance as the city ahs developed 
and the country round about has become more thickly settled.  In 1904 he joined R.C. 
Baker in the organization of the People's Ice and Fuel Company of which he is the secretary.

On the 31st of December Mr. Dunlap was united in marriage to Miss Dora D. Frazier and to 
them have been born two johns, John T and R.M.
