township. About two years later they purchased three hundred acres of land on
Russian river. The subject of this sketch received his education at the Sotoyome
Institute at Healdsburg. In 1868 he purchased from his father one hundred and
fifty acres of land, on which he has erected a very neat dwelling: house, and
has from time to time added to his first purchase of real estate, until he has
now four hundred and ten acres of land. He married, November 28, 1867, Miss
Dulee Foreman, who was born in Wabash county, Indiana, December 25, 1850. Ralph,
