Charles E. Vanderburgh grew up in New York state, and graduated from Yale in 1852. After studying law and being admitted to the bar, in 1856 he moved to Minnesota Territory. In 1859 Vanderburgh was the first resident of Minneapolis elected as a district judge. He served the Fourth Judicial District for over twenty years, and in 1881 was elected to the Minnesota Supreme Court. He served in that capacity until 1894. Judge Vanderburgh was an abolitionist, and a leader in the Presbyterian church. He founded a mission school on Franklin Avenue in 1873, then the outskirts of the city. The mission school grew and in 1875 became the Franklin Avenue Presbyterian Church. In 1903, following his death, the church was rededicated as Vanderburgh Memorial Presbyterian. Vanderburgh Presbyterian continued for almost a century, finally closing its doors in 1999. The Vanderburgh homestead located on Seventh Street and Tenth Avenue, later became the Swedish Hospital nurses' home. Judge Vanderburgh's horses' paddock was transformed into a garden supplying fresh food and providing recreation to staff and patients. Cause of death: Judge Vanderburgh died unexpectedly from blood poisoning after a six week illness. He was survived by his second wife Anna, and a son W. H. Vanderburgh.
