Henry H. Yonkin

Yonkin was born in Illinois on October 11, 1850, moving to Los Angeles in 1885 and starting a political career at the age of 35.[1] While serving as a constable, Yonkin was sued for $1,500 for allegedly attaching property from them to help satisfy another party.[3] In 1906, Yonkin was elected to the Los Angeles City Council, succeeding Arthur D.[6] In 1908, the Good Government League launched another recall campaign against Yonkin led by ex-police commissioner Charles Sadler; the initial meeting to decide for the recall had been leaked to the public days prior.[7] Yonkin was briefly considered to be a contender for President of the Los Angeles City Council in 1909.
