Charles Henry Enderton

Born at Lafayette, Indiana on 4 May 1861, he was orphaned at the age of three. Educated at De Pauw University, he commenced a career as attorney-at-law at St. Paul, Minnesota in 1884. He came to Winnipeg in 1890 and started in the real estate business.
He was instrumental in the development of the Crescentwood neighborhood. He was very successful and, by 1910, was listed by the Winnipeg Telegram as one of Winnipeg’s 19 millionaires. In 1903, he was a founder of the Winnipeg Real Estate Board. He was a member of the Manitoba Club, Carleton Club, St. Charles Country Club, Winnipeg Automobile Club, Pine Ridge Golf Club, AF & AM, Royal Templars of Temperance, and Sigma Chi. He was a keen golfer.
He died unmarried on 25 June 1920 while driving his automobile on Academy Road, after returning from a drive through Assiniboine Park. He left an estate valued at $1,200,000. He is commemorated by Enderton Park in Winnipeg.
