WINFIELD A. THAYER.—Nothing is more certain than that thrift, industry and
perseverance will eventually accomplish results. This is proved by the career of
Winfield A. Thayer, one of the successful ranchers of Imperial County. He was
born in Highland County, Ohio, December 6, 1860, son of Joseph and Demarus
Thayer, who were the parents of four children. Winfield A. received his
education in the public schools of Taylor County, Iowa, where his parents moved
when he was young. His father was a rancher and Winfield assisted on the home
place until he was twenty-three years of age. He then went to Arizona, where he
remained until 1902. In 1904 Mr. Thayer purchased forty acres. He has added to
his holdings until he now has one hundred and sixty acres. He carries on general
farming and has some stock. He was married in December, 1902, to Candice Rice, a
native of Missouri. Their three children are Myrtle Ellen, Joseph Howard, and
Frank. Politically Mr. Thayer is a Republican and has served on the local school
board, and is a stockholder in the Heber Creamery. The parents of Mr. Thayer are
both dead and are buried in Montgomery County, Iowa. His father served on the
Union side during the Civil war. Mrs. Thayer's mother resides in Imperial
County. Mrs. Thayer takes an active part in the Seventh Day Adventist Church,
and Mr. Thayer attends the Christian Church. The parents of Mr. Thayer were
early settlers in Massachusetts.
