    JOHN M. VANDERHOOF, son of John and Betsey E. Vanderhoof, was born in the
town of Phelps, Ontario county, New York, December 27, 1829. His boyhood days
were spent in school and on the farm. In 1852, he emigrated to California, and
engaged in mining at Forbestown, Yankee flat and other places on the south fork.
After seven years he quit mining and began to team from the Sacramento valley to
various places in and beyond the mountains. In 1870, he purchased the dairy and
stock-ranch, on which he now lives. It consists of about 700 acres. He was
married on the fourteenth of February, 1876, to Louisa L. Hartman, daughter of
George and Elizabeth Hartman. He is a member of the order of Odd Fellows at
Oroville, and of the encampment: also, of the A. O. U. W., and of a branch of
the same order, known as the Guarantee Fund Association. A view of the residence
can be seen in this volume.
