William Chandler was born 30 December 1860 in Galesburg Knox, Illinois, and married 17 June 1885, in , Pawnee County, Nebraska. Mary E. BARRETT. She was born in Brockport, Monroe, New York, and died 19 April 1948. William died 1957, in Torrington, Goshen, Wyoming.
WILLIAM C. REDFIELD is the son of the highly respected F. A. Redfield, of whom a sketch will be found upon another page of this volume. Our subject, resides upon the old homestead, which is situated on section 22 of Western Precinct. He is among the most promising of young farmers and stock-raisers in the county, and because of his many personal traits and characteristics is most favorably regarded by the community.
The place of the nativity of Mr. Redfield is near Elmwood, Peoria Co., Ill., this interesting event occurring on the 30th of December, 1861. His father Frank A. Redfield, lived there until the year 1868, when he removed to Shenandoah, Iowa, and after some wanderings and perigrinations (sic) to and fro finally settled in the spring of 1870 as stated above, which has since continued the property of this family. The farm has by no means depreciated in value because it is under the care of our subject, nor is it any the less carefully cultivated, per contra, his ambition and enthusiasm have caused him to lend such care and labor so assiduously as to more than retain the high standard of excellency to which it had been brought by the father.
Being attracted by the graces and virtues of Mary E. Barrett, daughter of Charles Barrett, of Brookport, N. Y., and all necessary arrangements having been made, our subject was united in marriage with this lady on the 17th of June, 1885. She was born at Monroe Comity, N. Y., but always having lived upon a farm she is the better enabled to enter into the life of our subject and appreciate it in all its parts. Site is a lady well educated, possessing much innate refinement, and has always moved in good society. Although she has never taught school she has been adjudged worthy of so doing. The lives of both Mr. and Mrs. Redfield have been more complete since their most happy union.
The subject of our sketch has not at present taken a very prominent place in the political arena, although quite capable of so doing should he desire; being a comparatively young man with a bright future before him, there is yet opportunity for him in this direction. He has always been an ardent Republican, ever ready to do what lies in his power in support of its principles.
