C. H. THRELFALL.—Among the successful and popular merchants of Central
California, none are more worthy of mention in this volume than the above named
gentleman. He began business at Oakdale, in company with E. L. Barkis, in 1890,
under the firm style of Threlfall & Barkis; and although they have been in
business here but a brief time they have met with marked success, having
established a trade and reputation that might well be envied by much older
houses. They carry a full line of general merchandise of all kinds. Anything
from a common sewing needle to a threshing machine can be purchased at their
establishment. They have recently opened a branch store at Waterford, a
prosperous and flourishing town near Oakdale, and here they also carry a good
assortment of general merchandise, and are doing a business that extends far
into the interior of the country.

   Mr. Threlfall, whose name heads this biography, is a native of Alameda
county, California, born October 5, 1862. He received a thorough education in
the public schools of  the county, arid later took a complete business course at
the Pacific Business College, San Francisco, graduating in 1881. His parents are
Richard and Hellen (Eix) Threlfall. The former, a native of Illinois, came to
California via the Isthmus of Panama in 1852. Mrs. Threlfall is a native of Hew
Hampshire. To them were born four children, our subject being the oldest.

   After completing his education Mr. Threlfall turned his attention to
practical farming, and followed that calling until 1890, when he established
himself in business as above mentioned. Eichard Threlfall, his father, now a
resident of Irvington, Alameda county, is the owner of 8,000 acres of choice
farming land, located six miles northwest of Oakdale, nearly all of this large
tract being utilized as a grain and stock ranch. Among the stock found on this
place are horses of the Norman breed. The land is highly cultivated, and under
the efficient management of the subject of our sketch produces large crops and
is becoming more valuable each year.

   Mr. Threlfall is unmarried. He is a true gentleman and a thorough business
man. Politically, he affiliates with the Democratic party, and takes an active
interest in local affairs.
