"Married at the Union Hotel in this city, on Thursday last (2 Aug 1855) by the Reverend John L. Sanders, Charles F. Irwin, formerly of Seneca County, NY, to Miss Eunice E. Garfield of Oakland, Michigan."
"Charles F. Irwin [Jr.], was born in the town of Fayette (New York), upon a farm on Lot N. 48, West Cayuga Reservation, situated upon the Ridge road, running from Bearytown to Canoga, May 5, 1828. His educational advantages were limited to a few years in public schools, the first of his teachers having been Wm. Ross, at a school house in the Town of Romulus, in 1832. "For a time during his boyhood he drove horses upon the state canal and also carried the U. S. mail from Ovid to Geneva. When eighteen years of age, he apprenticed himself to Thomas J. Fritz of Farmer Village, N. Y., to learn the carpenter's trade and received his board and twenty-five dollars for his first years work. During this time of service, he assisted to build the first steam mill at Bearytown, in 1846, and in the building of several dwelling houses in the Town of Fayette. In February, 1853, he took passage from New York City for Panama, thence by the Isthmus route to the Pacific coast and again by steamer to San Francisco, California. The steamer upon which he last embarked was shipwrecked Sacramento, and thence to Diamond Springs, Eldorado County, California, where he engaged for a time in gold mining and afterwards in the construction of a ditch or artificial channel in connection with gold mining. In 1857, he was elected a justice of the peace, and was several times re-elected and was selected to serve as associate justice of the court of sessions. At this time he began the study of law, and so assiduously did he pursue his studies that in 1860 he was admitted to the bar in Eldorado County. In 1867, Judge Irwin was elected Member of Assembly and served in the Legislature of California in 1883 and 1884. In 1885, he was elected district attorney of his county and held the position for a term of two years. Upon retirement of Judge Irwin from the position, he continued the practice of law at Placerville, California, where he still resides." See WFT Volume 36, Tree 0814.
