JAMES ROBERT McHENRY

   Prominent among the active, wide-awake and progressive lawyers of Merced
County is James Robert McHenry, whose untiring efforts and continued industry,
combined with skill and practical judgment in conducting the duties of his
chosen profession, have met with a well-deserved reward. His birth occurred on a
farm in Missouri, November 20, 1879, a son of James and Emma (Galvan) McHenry,
who came to California when our subject was a child of three years and settled
in Stanislaus County.

   James Robert McHenry acquired his early education in the public schools; this
was supplemented with private study and a business course. His legal education
was obtained through private study in Merced and he was admitted to the bar in
1916 and immediately thereafter opened offices in Merced, where he has continued
to practice with gratifying success.

   The marriage of Mr. McHenry united him with Miss Margaret Kelly. Her parents
are old pioneers of the Snelling district of Merced County. Three children have
been born to Mr. and Mrs. McHenry: Anna, Lola and Harvey. In politics Mr.
McHenry is Independent. Fraternally, he is affiliated with the Odd Fellows and
the Knights of Pythias. In 1922 he was elected treasurer of the Merced
Irrigation District. Mr. McHenry is actively interested in horticulture,
especially in the culture of figs, which reach the zenith of perfection in the
Merced district; he spends his leisure time looking after his 200-acre fig
orchard and when opportunity presents itself he goes to the mountains, where he
enjoys hunting and fishing.
