CHARLES E. JOLIFFE, cashier of the Exchange Hank of Mannington,
Marion County, West Virginia, and one of the city's substantial and
representative citizens, was born in 1859 in Monongalia County,
Virginia, now West Virginia, and is a son of Capt. Oliver Perry and
Sarah (Selby) Jolliffe, who still resides in Monongalia County,
aged, respectively, 76 and 69 years.

Capt. Oliver Perry Jolliffe was born in the county of his present
residence, and with the exception of three years service in the
Civil War has been continuously engaged in farming, and is one of
the capitalists of his locality. At the outbreak of the Rebellion,
he enlisted in Company C, 14th Reg., West Virginia Vol. Inf., and
after serving mainly in the Shenandoah Valley was mustered out of
the army with the rank of captain. Both he and his wife are members
of the Methodist Protestant Church. Eight children were born to
them, namely: Ethelbert O.; Charles E.; Jennie, wife of Frank R.
Sapp; William S.: Thayer Melvin; Joseph A.; George C.; and Frank C.

Charles E. Jolliffe obtained a good common school education, and
later spent three years in teaching, embarking then in a mercantile
business at White Day, in Monongalia County. Two years later he
removed his business at White Day to Uffington where he continued
for three years, disposing of it then in order to accept the
position of deputy clerk of the Circuit Court of Monongalia County.
This position he very acceptably filled for two and one-half years,
from 1886 to 1888, in the latter year being elected teller in the
Merchants' National Bank of Morgantown. Mr. Jolliffe remained with
that institution until April, 1892, at which time he removed to
Mannington and accepted his present responsible position of cashier
of the Exchange Bank of Mannington. Mr. Jolliffe is possessed of
large means and owns interest in coal and oil lands in Webster and
Doddridge Counties. He is also a stockholder and a director in the
Exchange Bank of Littleton. He is one of the leaders in all public
movements tending to the advancement of his section and has been
particularly useful on the Board of Education in the Mannington
district, which is the largest school district in the State, and is
serving his second term as its president.

In 1888 Mr. Jolliffe married Sallie Vandevort, who was born in 1868
near Morgantown, and is a daughter of Nicholas and Esther (Miller)
Vandevort. Five children have been born to this union, viz.: Frank
V., Oliver Paul, James E., Charles Byron, and Mary Esther. Mrs.
Jolliffe is a member of the Methodist Episcopal Church. In
politics, our subject is identified with the Republican party.
Fraternally he affiliates with the Independent Order of Odd
Fellows, the Knights of the Maccabees, and the Modern Woodmen of
America. The family is one which is held in the highest esteem in
Mannington.
