CHARLES E. LAVELL.

   Charles E. Lavell is one of the progressive voting ranch and stockmen of
Laramie county, Wyoming, and his address is Glendo in that county. He was born
on April 15, 1868, in St. Louis, Mo., the son of William and Emily (Horine)
Lavell, the former a native of Kentucky, and the latter of Missouri. The father
was long engaged in farming near St. Louis, and in 1869 removed his residence
from that localty to the territory of Colorado, there establishing his home in
the county of Elbert, where he engaged in ranching and stockraising until 1885,
when he disposed of his ranch and property and removed to the territory of
Wyoming, where he continued the same occupation. Charles E. Lavell grew to man's
estate in the county of Elbert, Colo., and received his early education in the
public schools of the vicinity. In 1880 he left Colorado with his mother and
came to Wyoming, where they located a ranch on the Platte River about three
miles east of Glendo, and there engaged in ranching and cattleraising until
1894, when Mr. Lavell located a homestead at his present ranch, situated on the
Platte River about five miles northeast of Glendo, where they have since
continued in the same business. Including the land located by his brother, who
is jointly interested in the property, the family now has a fine ranch of about
840 acres of land, well fenced and improved, with modern buildings and
appliances for the purpose of carrying on a successful ranching and stockgrowing
business, having two hundred acres under irrigation, and they are constantly
adding to and improving their property and are raising both cattle and horses
and have met with great success. Charles Lavell has two sisters and one brother.
One sister, Sarah Lavell Hoffman, is married and resides in the southeastern
portion of Montana, and the other sister, Mary, and brother, William, reside at
the home place with Charles and their mother, Charles H. Lavell being the
manager of the entire property. By hard work, perseverance and careful attention
to business, he is rapidly building it up and is destined to have one of the
best equipped stock ranches in that section of the county. His success is a
demonstration of what can be accomplished by indomitable resolution, unsparing
effort and correct business methods in the stockgrowing industry in Wyoming. The
family arc held in the highest esteem in the community where thev maintain their
home. Politically Mr. Lavell is a stanch member of the Republican party and a
loyal advocate and supporter of its principles and policies. While interested in
public affairs he has never sought 01 desired to hold public office, preferring
to devote his entire time and attention to the care and management of his
private business, he is one of the rising young business men of Laramie county.
