CHARLES CANNON, a retired farmer of Woodland, is a son of Calvin and Jane
Cannon; the father a native of Kentucky, and the mother of Maryland, who finally
settled in Cooper County, Missouri, where Charles was born, June 1, 1842. In the
fall of 1862 he went to the vicinity of Topeka, Kansas, where he followed
farming until 1869. In the fall of 1864 he enlisted in the Kansas State militia
and served a year. Returning to Missouri, he made his home there until the
spring of 1880, when he came to California, locating in Woodland.

He soon began work on a ranch for a man named Campbell, and continued there two
years, during which time he purchased a house and two lots in town, where he now
resides on Court street. He is employed as mechanic in a brickyard.

  August 9, 1868, is the date of Mr. Cannon's marriage to Miss Blue, a native of
Missouri, a daughter of Stephen Blue, native of Virginia, and Jennie Blue,
native of Kentucky.
