C. A. H. WARFIELD, the efficient Sheriff of Merced county, is a native of the
State of Texas, born in Laman [Lamar] county at RParis, February 24, 1845. His
parents, Charles Alexander and Martha P. (Hamilton) Warfield, were natives of
Maryland and Tennessee respectively. The former went to Texas in an early day,
and was for a time Surveyor-General of the State; he also took an important part
in politics, and during the late war served the Government very faithfully. He
afterward came to California, and spent his last days at Chico, where he wrote
for various publications throughout the State. C. A. H. Warfield was educated in
the common schools of his native State until he was fifteen years of age. In
1861 he came to California overland, via Tucson and El Paso to Los Angeles;
after his arrival in the State he spent four and a half years in Stockton, six
months of which time he was with William P. Miller in his wagon factory. He also
operated an express line up the river which extended up into the mountains. He
was afterward employed by Henry Miller and Charles Lux, the cattle kings of
California, with whom he remained until 1888, when he was elected Sheriff of
Merced county. He is identified with the Republican party, but in his official
capacity he has given satisfaction to all elements, discharging his duties with
strict impartiality.

   Mr. Warfield's marriage occurred in Merced, August 8, 1884, when he was
united to Martha E. Cramer, a native of the Golden State, and a daughter of Dr.
Cramer, one of Merced's pioneer physicians. Two children have been born to Mr.
and Mrs. Warfield: Charles Henry and Jesse Alexander. Mr. Warfield is an
esteemed member of La Grange Lodge, A. F. & A.M.
