CHARLES E. GREENWALD.

    Endowed by nature with peculiar qualifications that combine to make a
successful lawyer and possessing the energy and determination without which
advancement at the bar can never be secured, Charles E. Greenwald has won for
himself a prominent position as a representative of the legal fraternity in Lake
county. Patiently persevering, possessed of an analytical mind and one that is
readily receptive and retentive of the fundamental principles and intricacies of
the law, gifted with a spirited devotion to wearisome details, quick to
comprehend the most subtle problems and logical in his conclusions, fearless in
the advocacy of any cause be may espouse and the soul of honor and integrity,
Mr. Greenwald has achieved a position of prominence that is most creditable and
is a recognized leader of public thought and opinion in the community in which
he resides.

    A native of Ohio, his birth occurred in the city of Cleveland on the 21st of
January, 1876. He is a son of Joseph and Mary (Mack) Greenwald, and he began his
education in the public schools of Cleveland and afterward continued his studies
in the high school of South Chicago. He took up the study of law in 1895, having
determined to make its practice his life work, and was graduated from the law
department of the University of Michigan at Ann Arbor with the class of 1898. He
then located for practice at Whiting, opening an office here. Although
professional advancement is proverbially slow and he bad to demonstrate his
skill in handling intricate legal problems, he won a good clientage in a
comparatively short space of time, and in 1902 he was elected city attorney of
Whiting. He has been deputy prosecuting attorney since 1898, and is now the
candidate on the Republican ticket for prosecuting attorney of the district
composed of Lake and Porter counties. In this connection one of the Republican
papers of Whiting said:

    "Attorney Charles E. Greenwald of our city has announced himself as a
candidate for the Republican nomination for prosecuting attorney. For months
many influential lawyers and politicians have insisted that he should be a
candidate, but until this week failed to get his consent that his name might be
used. Mr. Greenwald has served six years as deputy prosecuting attorney here,
and his conduct of the office during this time justifies his friends in their
claim that he has shown himself well qualified to fill the position. He is
regarded by the lawyers as one of the most promising young men at the bar, and
the number of lawyers who are supporting him is the best possible evidence of
his ability to fill the position. He is a strong favorite with the politicians
and other men interested in the success of the Republican party in this county,
recognizing the loyal services rendered for his party in previous campaigns. The
active Republicans of Lake county are quick to remember and repay those who have
rendered valiant service to the party, and this sentiment will enure to Mr.
Greenwald's advantage as against any opponent who may contest with him for the
nomination."

In his private practice Mr. Greenwald has shown great care in the preparation of
his cases, and as a public official in courtroom he has been unfaltering in the
performance of his duty in furthering the ends of justice and right. He is one
of the stockholders of the First National Bank of Whiting.

    In the year 1900 Mr. Greenwald was united in marriage to Miss Christine
Michaely of Michigan City and they have on little daughter, Dorothy. They are
well known in Whiting and have gained a wide circle of warm friends. Mr.
Greenwald is a scholarly gentleman who speaks four different languages -the
Polish, Slavonian, Bohemian and English. In politics he is a stanch Republican,
and has taken a very active and influential part in the work of the
organization, doing all in his power to promote its growth and insure its
success. He organized the National Slavonian Political Club, which has been in
existence for two years and is now one of the prominent organizations in this
part of Indiana, composed of about two hundred men. The object of the club is to
teach political economy and civil government. He is well fitted for leadership
and his opinions carry weight and influence in political and other circles in
Whiting.
