Sheridan, Page 751, 1884, Saticoy, Ventura, Califonia. Charles F. Beckwith, their son, was born in Steuben County. Indiana, January 12, 1862, obtained part of his public school training there until he was ten years of age, when his parents removed to Berrien County, Michigan. He went to school there and also in Ventura County from 1875 to 1877. His early experiences in a business way were on his father's farm, and he assisted in its management until he was twenty-one years of age. He inherited 180 acres of the old ranch from his mother in 1909 and most of it is now devoted to the growing of beans. In 1884 he made his first purchase on his own account, a part of a seventy-two acre ranch adjoining his present home, and in 1905 he completed the purchase of the entire tract. This is now a bean plantation. He also owns a half interest in 250 acres near Santa Paula, partly developed to apricots, lemons, and hay and some of it in pasture.

Mr. Beckwith is a member of the Independent Order of Odd Fellows, is a republican and belongs to the Christian Church. In Ventura, January 21, 1883, he married Luella Orr. Their three children are: Mrs. Ada Knight of Santa Paula; Ralph, who is thirty years of age and was educated in the Ventura public schools and is now farming one of his father's ranches; and Mrs. Myrtle Brown of Ventura County.
