CHARLES W. HERNDON
Arizona, the Youngest State, pg 623

Although still a young man, Charles W. Herndon has already 
gained a creditable position at the bar of Arizona and is 
now a resident of Kingman, where he is serving as district 
attorney, discharging his duties in an able and efficient 
manner.  He was born in Missouri in 1878 and is a son of 
John C. and Florence (Wilson) Herndon, who came to Arizona 
in 1883, locating in Prescott, where the father became a 
successful and prominent attorney. 

Charles W. Herndon acquired his early education in the public 
schools of his native state and afterward attended the 
University of Missouri. He read law under his father and 
in the offices of Judge Norris and was admitted to the 
bar in 1903, gaining the right to practice before the 
state supreme court in 1909.  After practicing for a short 
time in Prescott he came to Kingman in 1910 and has since 
followed his profession here, where his thorough and 
comprehensive knowledge of law has gained for him an 
enviable degree of success.  In 1911 he was elected 
district attorney, assuming office in 1912 and he is 
now discharging his important duties with credit to 
himself and to the entire satisfaction of the public.
