Mitchener, Jonathan. Born in Fayette county, Indiana, March 12, 1827, where he
received his education, and learned the blacksmith's trade. At the age of
twenty-one he proceeded to Knox county, Illinois; worked at his trade three
years, and returned to Indiana, and engaged in farming until 1854, when he
emigrated to California, via Panama, arriving in San Francisco, in February. He
went direct to El Dorado county, and after working at his trade one year,
engaged in mining for a term of three seasons, and then took up his trade and
wielded the sledge until 1864, when he engaged in milling in Marin county for
eight years; then engaged in dairying four years. In October, 1876, he came to
this county, and after a residence of one year in Petaluma, settled on his
present estate, located about four miles north-west from Petaluma. Mr. Mitchener
married on July 4, 1861, Miss Gardner, a native of Germany. Catherine, William
L., Frederick, Philip, and Clara E, are the names of their children.
