   J. W. DUNLAP, Supervisor of township No. 1, Stanislaus county, California, is
one of the native sons of the far-famed golden West.

    He was born in Stanislaus county, November 9, 1857. His father, John Dunlap,
a native of Tennessee, and of Scotch extraction, crossed the plains to
California in 1857. His mother, whose maiden name was Sarah A. Bartlett, was a
native of Missouri. She died in 1881. To this worthy couple were born four
children, of whom the subject of this sketch was the second. His education was
received in Tuolumne county, where for some years he engaged in stock-raising.
He returned to Stanislaus county in 1880, and established himself in the
butchering business at Oakdale, which he conducted until recently. At the
present writing he is connected with real-estate transactions, doing business
under the firm name of Bell & Dunlap, attorneys at law, real-estate dealers,
abstract writers, notary public, etc. As a side issue, Mr. Dunlap makes a
specialty of raising blooded stock. Among his thoroughbred horses are found some
of the most noted cross stock in this section of the State, namely: Joe Daniels
and Mondays, imported, Patison, Cyclone, Kelpie, Echo and Lodi, besides other
noted fast stock.

   Mr. Dunlap was elected county Supervisor in 1888, and now fills that
important office. He is a stanch Republican and takes an active part in
political matters. Socially, he affiliates with the Oakdale Parlor, H. S. G. W.,
of which he is Secretary. Although a young man in years, he is one thoroughly
posted in regard to the wants and needs of the county, and is ever ready to aid
and encourage all public enterprises which tend to advance its welfare.

   He was united in marriage at Knight's Ferry, October 15, 1889, with Miss
Florence V. Barns, a native of California. They have one daughter, Eva V.
