  CHARLES H. ATKINSON, a young and enterprising farmer of Forest City township, is a
native of Pennsylvania, born May 7, 1855, and is the son of Hon. James B. Atkinson,
one of the pioneers of Meeker county, a sketch of whom is given in the pages of this
Album. Charles came to this county with his father's family in 1857, and here
resided until about eighteen years of age, when he went to Minneapolis to read up in
the higher branches of studies, in the Union School. Returning from there he entered
the office of Hon. A. C. Smith, with whom he read law, but finally abandoned that
and settled down upon a farm, where he now lives. He has been the incumbent of
several township offices, first filling that of assessor for some two years; and
then that of justice of the peace for a like term, and now is the present chairman
of the town board of supervisors.

   Mr. Atkinson and Miss Ida Mitchell plighted their mutual vows at the marriage
altar, June 27, 18S2. The lady is the daughter of David Mitchell, one of the oldest
settlers of this county, and whose memoir can be found in this volume. By this union
there have been born two children— Stella Elizabeth and Charles Herbert. Mr.
Atkinson, following the traditions of the family, is a staunch democrat,
politically.
