Charles Triplett O'Ferrall
Charles Triplett "Trip" O'Ferrall (October 21, 1840 – September 22, 1905) was a Virginian politician who served as a U.S. Representative from 1883 to 1894 and the 42nd Governor of Virginia from 1894 to 1898.
==Early life and career==
Charles O'Ferrall was born in Bath, Virginia (now Berkeley Springs, West Virginia) to John and Jane Laurens Green O'Ferrall. His father was an innkeeper and former member of the Virginia General Assembly who was elected Clerk of Court of Morgan County in 1851. When John O'Ferrall died suddenly in 1855, the local judge thought highly enough of Charles O'Ferrall to appoint the fifteen-year-old to hold the post until an election could be held. He was sufficiently respected to later win election, at the age of seventeen, to a full six-year term as Clerk of Court. However, he only served less than half the term before the county was thrown into upheaval by the outbreak of the civil war.
Despite coming from a predominantly pro-Union area, O'Ferrall felt his true allegiance to be to Virginia, and he thus joined the Confederate side of the war.〔O'Ferrall (1904) p. 185〕 Enlisting as a cavalry private, O'Ferrall was immediately offered the position of sergeant.〔O'Ferrall (1904) pp. 21–22〕 He subsequently distinguished himself in several battles, leading to his advancement to the rank of major and his being allowed to form his own cavalry battalion.〔O'Ferrall (1904) pp. 86-87〕 By the end of the war, O'Ferrall was a colonel in command of all cavalry in the Shenandoah Valley, and his regiment engaged in the last fight of the war on Virginia soil. All told, he had been wounded eight times in battle, including once so seriously that he was left for dead.〔
