Biography

Charles William Hendel was born in Saxony July 21, 1831. In 1853, he came to California and mined for gold on the American River in Sierra County. In 1860, he became Sierra County Surveyor. In 1871, he was appointed a U.S. Deputy Surveyor and moved to La Porte in Plumas County. In 1879, he was elected Plumas County Surveyor.

He died September 17, 1920.
