Notes for CHARLES C. WAKEFIELD:
Charles Wakefield was said to be in the transfer business. One of the items he transfered were school children to the Elma School. This got him in trouble with the school board. It seems he hauled students in trucks from South Union but failed to provide a tailgate to keep students from falling out. In addition he hauled livestock in the truck during the day and failed to clean them out properly causing parents to complain. In October,1920 the board gave Mr. Wakefield an ultimatum-add the tailgate, fix the leaks in the roof, and no livestock or lose his contract.
