Bedwell, Ira. Was born in La Fayette county, Missouri, August 8, 1820. When an
infant he was taken by his parents to Cass county and here he resided until he
attained the age of twenty years. At this period of his life he emigrated to
California, crossing the plains, and arriving at Hangtown, now more
aristocratically known as Placerville, on October 6, 1850. Here he remained a
few weeks and thence went to Georgetown, residing there until December, 1851,
when he removed to Sonoma county, and, after occupying several different
locations, finally settled on his present farm of one hundred and sixty acres,
one mile south from Geyserville, in the Fall of 1877. Mr. Bedwell married in
February, 1849, Elizabeth Brooks, who died in 1855, by whom he had: John, James,
