Charles W. Pickford

A Substantial Citizen Whose Private and Business Career is Viewed With Pride.

Charles W. Pickford, an excellent portrait of whom, is presented herewith, was ushered into the world in the city of Cork, Ireland, on the 15th of August, 1829. His earlier years were devoid of any remarkable rexperience. Arriving at a sufficicient age he entered a dry goods establishment at Dublin and gained a through knowledge of the business. Mr. Pickford emigrated to America in 1850 and located in Toronto, where he successfully engaged in mercantile pursuits for many years. In 1876 he came to Chippewa county and located where the prosperous village of Pickford now stands. He was the first white person to settle in that vicinity. He engaged in farming, prospered from the start, and acquired much valuable property there. As the years rolled on he witnessed the growth of a thriving settlement at that place both the township and post office of Pickford being named in his honour. Mr. Pickford was the first treasurer elected in these early days and was also honored with other offices of trust. Habing achieved a competancy in 1884, Mr. Pickford removed to this city and prepared to take it easy for the remainder of his days. He could not endure an inactive life, however, and in 1886 he embarked again in the dry goods business here. As usual he was fortunate, and his trade continually increased until 1890 it amounted to 71 percent more than in any previous year and in 1891 it was $10,000 greater than in 1890. Mr. Pickford was elected in 1890 as alderman for the Second ward and in the election last Monday was returned for another term. He is one of the city's substantial citizens and his business career is one which he and his friends can look upon with pride.
