(1891) JASPER A. OSTRANDER, M. D., homeopathic physician, Fairfield, Solano County, is a native California, born in Merced County in 1856. His parents were H. J. and Lydia A. (Wheeler) Ostrander, natives of New York State and still residents of Merced County, where the father still owns and operates a ranch and is interested in the firm of Ostrander & Sons, real-estate agents. Dr. Ostrander at an early age was sent to the public school at Santa Clara, and later to the Friends' Academy, and at Union Springs, Cayuga County, New York, four years; and then one year at Ithaca Academy, and one year at Cornell University,—these schools being in New York State. Returning then to California, he attended the State University at Berkeley one year. His health failing, he was obliged to abandon his course of study and returned to his father's farm, where he remained until 1884, engaged in agricultural pursuits, thus fully recovering his health and vigor. In the year 1885 he entered the Hahnemann Hospital Medical College of San Francisco, where he attended lectures for three years, graduating in the class of 1888. He practiced in Oakland until June, 1889, when he purchased the practice of Dr. H. S. Bradley at Fairfield, where, he has since resided engaged in his chosen profession. He is a member of the Homeopathic Medical Society, of the order of the Knights of Pythias and of the Native Sons of the Golden West. The Doctor was married October 23, 1884, to Mrs. E. S. Moberly, a native of Illinois, and they have two children, Olive L., born August 14, 1885; and Annis M., born May 30, 1890.
