lumber dealers of Litchfield, is, in the opinion of his fellow townsmen, one of the
most promising young business men of the village. He was born in Meeker county,
Minn., Oct. 27, 1861, and is the son of Hon. William H. Greenleaf. one of the most
influential and leading citizens of the county. In his younger days, Charles
received his primary education in the primitive log cabin school houses of the
period, around whose rugged walls fond memories throw the glamour of boyhood’s
halcyon days. After the family removed to Litchfield, our subject commenced a more
advanced course of schooling, finishing with a course in the excellent high school
of Litchfield, and was graduated with the first class to finish in that institution.
He at once assumed a position in his father’s place of business and continued in his
employ until attaining his majority in 1882, when he entered into the present firm.

to the city of Minneapolis, in connection with H. S. Branham; and also an addition
to the village of Litchfield, in company with others.

Campbell, a native of Manchester, Conn., but reared in Hartford, the same State. Mr.
