SAMUEL G. GRUBAUGH, one of the go-ahead men of Stanislaus county, who is
recognized as a thorough farmer, is a native of Ohio, born in Ashland county,
May 12, 1854, his parents being G. W. and Melissa (Macomber) Grubaugh, both
parents natives of Ohio. Grandfather Grubaugh, a native of Germany, settled in
Ohio at an early day; he is now living in La Grange county, Indiana, having
reached the advanced age of ninety-four years. When the subject of our sketch
was eleven years of age his parents removed to La Grange county, Indiana, and
there he was reared to young manhood. In 1873 he came to California, landing at
Modesto on the 11th of December and soon obtained employment at farm work. In
the fall of 1878 he began for himself by renting the Tulley ranch, about four
miles north of Turlock, where he farmed 800 acres. In the spring of 1881 he
rented 800 acres more where he is now located, on the road between Roberts'
ferry and La Grange, also retaining the Tulley ranch. In the spring of 1884 he
moved up to his present location, and the following fall gave up the Tulley
place. He farms the entire 800 acres, but his average crop is 600 acres, as he
makes a practice of devoting 200 acres to summer fallow, a practice followed by
the best of farmers.

   Mr. Grubaugh was married, in this county, November 27, 1881, to Miss Anna R.
Rairden, a native of Maine. Two children have been born to them, both of whom
are deceased, viz.: Herbert, and an unnamed infant. Mr. Grubaugh is a member of
La Fayette Lodge, No. 65, I. O. O. F., La Grange, and is Conductor of the lodge.
Politically he is a Republican, He is a frank, agreeable gentleman, and on
account of his business-like methods and his many estimable traits of character,
enjoys the respect and esteem of all with whom he comes in contact.
