CHARLES A. MAGAW.

    CHARLES A. MAGAW, a well-known lawyer and formerly police judge of Topeka,
was born in Ohio in 1872, and is a son of John B. and Margaret Magaw.

    John B. Magaw was a farmer by occupation and lived in Ohio until 1879, when
he came West to Kansas. He removed to Osage County, Kansas, in 1895, and lived
there until his death on February 2, 1900. He is survived by Mrs. Magaw and
three children, namely: Rachel, wife of Samuel Harbour, of Osage, Kansas;
William, an instructor in the Topeka High School; and Charles A., subject of
this biography.

    Charles A. Magaw was reared on a farm in Jefferson County, Kansas, and
received a preliminary educational training in the public schools of his
district. He pursued a literary course of study at Washburn College, but left
that institution in his junior year to take up the study of the law in the State
University at Lawrence. After graduation with the degree of LL. B. in 1897, he
was admitted to the bar, and has been engaged in practice since in the city of
Topeka. He has an office in the Crawford Building, and has an extensive
practice. He served two terms as police judge at Topeka, and is held in highest
regard by his fellow lawyers and the public in general.

    Mr. Magaw is unmarried and resides at No. 716 Lincoln street. Since the
death of his father, his mother has made her home with our subject. He is a
member of the Bar Association of the State of Kansas and of Topeka Lodge, No.
204, Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks. Politically, he is a Republican,
and has always been one of the most active party workers in the city.
