S. H. PAINTER.—June 17, 1830, Mr. Painter was born in Knox county, Ohio. He
worked on the farm and attended school until the fall of 1850, when the family
moved to Andrew county, Missouri. June 1, 1851, he married Miss Jane Kincaid,
born in Knox county, Ohio, January 5, 1829. In the spring of 1854 he left the
new home for California, reaching Marysville in September. For five years he
engaged in farm-work and butchering. In the winter of 1859 he went back for his
family, and crossed the plains again the next season, arriving in Honey Lake
valley in August. The next year he went to Colusa county, and farmed three
years. He then returned to Susanville, and in July, 1864, bought T. H. Epley's
claim of 160 acres of land, three miles south-east of Janesville, on which he
has since lived, and been engaged in farming and teaming.
