Charles W. Tankersley was a state legislator in Arkansas. He served as Speaker of the Arkansas House of Representatives.[1] He was re-elected to the position in the 19th Legislature.[2][3]
While speaker he was put in charge of the state penitentiary until a leader was elected.[4]
In closing a session of the assembly he expressed regret over "political vicissitudes" and hoped that "much that has been done will sleep among the things of the past, to be resurrected nevermore."[5]
An 1872 land record exists in his name.[6]
James H. Berry replaced him as Speaker Pro Tempore during a special session called by governor Elisha Baxter during the Brooks Baxter War in 1874 and the following session when Tankersley refused to attend.[7]
