Henry H. Yonkin (October 11, 1850 – February 9, 1941) was a politician who served on the Los Angeles City Council, California State Assembly, and California State Senate.
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. He served as a deputy sheriff to John C. Cline and was later elected to as a constable for two terms.[1] While serving as a constable, Yonkin was sued for $1,500 for allegedly attaching property from them to help satisfy another party.[1][2] In July 1903, Yonkin was accused of a felony for prejudice against M. N. Melrose during his trial.[3]
