Delay STROTHER E. WILCOXON. — Self-made in the best sense implied by the term, Strother E. Wilcoxon has for the past forty-seven years served in offices of responsibility in Sutter County. He was the second white boy born in Yuba City, his birth having occurred on August 29, 1855. At an early age he was thrown upon his own resources, and his first means of earning a livelihood was breaking wild horses and riding the range as a cowboy. He received a meager schooling; but he profited well by the school of experience, which has been the means of his steady progress. At the age of twenty-one years he entered the county offices. He has served as deputy county clerk and assessor, and deputy county auditor and recorder; and throughout all the years of his service he has been held in high esteem for his sterling traits of character. The marriage of Mr. Wilcoxon united him with Miss Mary A. Butler, a native of Ohio; and to them were born four children: Henry P., George E., Mrs. Josie H. Krull, and Mrs. Jennie E. Hauck.
