Charles T. Wardlaw (1858–1928) was a politician in Dawes County, Nebraska, and a financier and civic leader in Los Angeles, California.
Wardlaw was born on June 30, 1858, in Granville, Illinois, to A.F. and Nancy J. Wardlaw.[1]
In 1900, Wardlaw was county clerk in Dawes County, Nebraska, where he was also chairman of the county Democratic Committee.[2] He was also affiliated with a newspaper there called The Chadronian.[3]
Wardlaw was in the railroad service, being at different times an agent, a dispatcher and freight and passenger agent. He was a manager of the "great California-Mexico Ranch" and then moved to the San Fernando Valley in 1919, where he became a banker and a financier. Along with Harry Chandler and M.H. Sherman, he was a subdivider of the first building tract in Van Nuys, California.[1][4]
He died of a heart attack in his home on Van Nuys Boulevard on February 24, 1928, being survived by his wife, Pamella R. Wardlaw, a son, John R. or John J. Wardlaw, and a daughter, Mrs. Eva W. Day.[1][5]
