CHARLES W. AUSTIN.—Among the substantial and enterprising farmers of Stanislaus
county, California, mention should be made of the above named gentleman.

   Mr. Austin is located near Oakdale, on the property of A. C. Paulsell, of San
Francisco. This tract consists of 2,250 acres, some 1,700 acres of which are
devoted to grain raising exclusively, the rest being grazing land. He employs
from three to four farm hands the year round, and during harvest time increases
that number.

   Mr. Austin is one of the sturdy sons of California, and dates his birth in
San Joaquin county, January 14, 1863. He was reared to manhood in his native
county, receiving his education in the public schools, completing the same in
the Stockton Business College, of which he is a graduate with the class of.
1882. His parents were Daniel S. and Mary E. (Downing) Austin. The former, a
native of Hew York, crossed the plains to the Golden State in 1850, and was for
many years engaged in mining pursuits. The latter is a native of Illinois. They
had six children, three of whom are dead. Charles W., the second born, followed
farming several years in San Joaquin county, and in 1888 came to Stanislaus
county and took charge of the farm as above stated.

   In political matters he is a stanch and active Republican. He is an active
member of the Native Sons of the Golden West, Parlor No. 142, and also of the I.
O. O. F. No. 228, of Oakdale; has passed the chairs in both orders.
