31565. Charles Adelbert Canfield
Charles' father and grandfather were both farmers, and his father's farm, on which he was born, has since became part of the city of Buffalo. His father moved his family to Minnesota when Charles was fifteen years old. At the age of nineteen he left home to seek his fortune, and was engaged in mining in Colorado, Nevada and New Mexico, making, near Kingston, NV, in 1886, the biggest strike of his mining career. In 1887, he moved to Los Angeles, CA, and, investing in real estate, lost his fortune, but made another in the oil fields of southern CA and Mexico. With EL Doheny as his partner he drilled the first oil well in the Los Angeles district in 1895. About one year later he discovered Coalinga, which became the most prosperous oil district in the state. The Midway field was exploited, and finally he and Doheny entered Mexico to develop near Tampico what proved to be the most extensive and richest oil deposits in the world. They secured title by purchase to hundreds of thousands of acres of oil land, now known in a general way as the Mexican Petroleum Company. He was always interested in CA and had large realty and other holdings throughout the state. He was the founder of various banks and a director in serveral others, as well as many oil and financial corporations. Many charitable and educational activities profited by his generosity, and he maintained particular interest in those which cared for children, whom he especially loved, leaving handsome endowments in his will for institutions for homeless boys and girls. He probably contributed as much to the growth and development of southern CA as any single individual. His success came as the result of integrity, tremendous optimism, indomitable energy and an accurate knowledge of mining and oil properties. His last wish was that his home be converted into the "Phoebe P. Canfield Memorial Home", an institution to honor the memory of his wife. Under his will, te home was to be used for the education and care of children under 12, with absolutely no restrictions on religious grounds.Charles Canfield was indirectly involved in Teapot Dome Scandal in Wyoming along with his business partner and his son, Charlie.

Then, prompted by a strong interest in amateur sports, he established in New York City a small paper devoted to this subject. He was manager of this paper until be resigned in 1888 to become sports writer for "Harper's Weekly" which position he held until 1899. During this period and later he made numerous exploring trips traveling all over the United States and its territorial possessions and in Canada, Mexico, Central and South America, India, Siam, Sumatra and the Malay States.

MISTAKE SAYS C. O. CANFIELD
Charles O. Canfield, who inherited a million-dollar trust fund from his fa
ther, Charles O. (sic) Canfield, last evening in the county jail had completed the first of a five-day sentence for contempt of court in connection with asserted nonpayment of alimony.
Canfield, who said he had had five blood transfusions in the past year and a half for a stomach disorder, is serving his sentence in the jail hospital.
"I think there has been a mistake in sentencing me to jail," declared Canfield in commenting on Superior Court Judge Emmet Wilson's ruling in finding him guilty of contempt.
Canfield, whose wealth is in a trust fund with a bank, said that the court had held he was $24,000 in arrears on his alimony to Mrs. Pearl Canfield, whom he married in 1912 when she was in the chorus of Armstrong's Baby Dolls burlesque show.
"About $20,000 of that is a judgment she holds against me and is not alimony", he said. "In alimony, I only owe about three or four thousand dollars. However, I am not able to pay it at this time."OBITUARY: Oilman Canfield Dies Here at 83:
Charles O. Canfield, son of the multi-millionaire pioneer oilman, died this morning at St. Vincent's Hospital after a lengthy illness. He was 83. Canfield's heritage was rich in both monetary and historical value. His family and the late E. L. "Ned" Doheny were part of the development of the Southland. Canfield once recalled that his family and the Dohenys "were living together in a little shack in the hills near Chihuahua, Mexico, when I was born. I saw my father and 'Ned' Doheny become millionaires almost overnight as their gushers came in from Coalinga to Tampico."
SAW L.A. GROW
And the young man saw Los Angeles grow too - from 1884 when his family came to this city and lived in the historical Pico House at the Plaza. His boyhood pals were the future newsmakers of the city - Sheriff Gene Biscailuz, movie star Leo Carrillo and fighter Jim Jeffries. Canfield loved horses, once had his own stable, and proudly said that the famed rancher E. J. "Lucky" Baldwin gave him 11 horses from his ranch.
In 1913 Canfield's father died, leaving an estate of $15 million. One million dollars went to Canfield in a "spendthrift" trust fund, because, the son said, "we didn't see eye to eye on a lot of business matters."
Canfield went into the oil business and then into the lumber business. He also went in for breeding and racing greyhounds - once having a stable of 125 dogs.
Canfield's widow, the former Charlotte Vermont, was at his bedside when he died. Their romance and nearly 38 years of marriage had a story-book flavor to it. Canfield one day saw a beautiful child with golden curls who was taking a ride in a wicker cart pulled by a Shetland pony. When that child grew up, had studied voice in Europe and won fame in opera and on the concert stage they met again and married.
In addition to his widow, Canfield, of 201 S. Arden Blvd., leaves his daughter, Mrs. Earl Pierce, of Carmel, and a sister, Mrs. Silby Spalding, of Los Angeles.

Auto accident-crushing injuries to chest and lungs-car over embankment of Mulholland Drive near Cahuenga. Daisy was married to Jay M. Danziger of LA, who was connected with Mexican Petrol Oil Co, Salt Lake, UT. Daisy was divorced from Jay and married the silent film star, Antonio Moreno 1/27/23.

The home is on four + acres and has 15,000 + square feet complete with its own ballroom. In 1929 they gave the home to the trust that operates the home as a girls school for training purposes (much in the manner of Charles Canfield's McKinley Industrial Home For Boys that he founded along with M.H. Whittier in 1900). In 1953 the home was deeded to the Catholic Church (Franciscan Sisters Of The Immaculate Conception Order) who used it as a convent and school until the 1987 Whittier earthquake damaged it which resulted in its abandonment, where it stands today, 1994.

She was cremated
The three children of Jay M. Danziger and Daisy C. Canfield Danziger were raised by Daisy C. Canfield Moreno and Antonio M.

Canfield, Edward L. Doheny and Dr. Norman Bridge. His first work was in the Golden State as legal advisor for Mr. Canfield. When Mr. Canfield and his associates turned their money into Mexico, for the development of the large properties of the Mexican Petroleum Co., he invested with them. Another important enterprise controlled by these men was the Mexican National, Gas Co., of Mexico City.

He was one of the early presidents of the Aero Club of Southern California and served as executive both with the Mexican Petroleum Corp. and the Pan-American Petroleum and Transport Co.
The Tecolote Ranch which he later purchased at Goleta, Cal., was eventually rated one of the most highly developed ranch properties in the county.
