DR. JOSIAH LEFEVER, one of a family of sixteen, was born in Knox county, Ohio,
in 1822. His parents were among the earliest pioneers of the state, having moved
there from Virginia in 1808. His father, Isaac Lefever, served his country in
the war of 1812. Josiah graduated at the Starling Medical College of Columbus,
Ohio, in 1850, and commenced practice at Williamsport, Ohio, where he remained
two years. In 1852 he came to California, and located at Little York, Nevada
county. From there he moved, in April, 1853, to Park's bar, and in the fall of
that year gave up the practice of medicine and went to ranching in Sutter
county. In August, 1854, he moved to Forest City, resumed the practice of
medicine, and has continued it at that place ever since. He was elected to the
legislature in 1858, and in that year was married to Miss M. A. Sullivan of New
York city.
