George W. Henley, Whose portrait will be found in this work, was born in Clarke county, Indiana, November 26,
1833. He received his education at the Charleston Seminary. In 1853 he, with his parents, came to California, via
Panama. They arrived at San Francisco on June 1st of the above mentioned year. The father was appointed postmaster
at San Francisco, and the subject of this sketch acted as clerk under his father for about eighteen months, when
the father was appointed superintendent of Indian affairs. George filled the position of clerk under his father
for two years longer, when he was appointed store keeper in the United States Appraiser's store in San Francisco,
which office he held until January 1859, when he resigned the position. He came to Mendocino county and settled
in Round valley at the above date where he has since resided, being engaged in farming and stock raising. Mr. Henley
was in the Legislature in the session of 1869-70, and is an enterprising and thorough going gentleman, and while
not a professional politician, always strives to advance the best interests of his county, and doubtless with better
success than the aforesaid professionals.
