EDMOND G. BURGER, a farmer near Black's Station, Yolo County, was born in
Philadelphia County, Pennsylvania, April 10, 1826, the son of Joseph and
Elizabeth (Schoch) Burger, natives also of that State; the father was the most
of his life in the gold and silver watch dial business. Edmond was seven years
of age when he went with his parents in their change of residence to New York,
where he served his time in the same trade, working at it until 1849, when he
sailed for California, landing at San Francisco. From July to September he
followed mining on the Yuba River, and next until the fall of 1851 he was at
Shasta City; then he visited the valley, and soon afterward settled upon the
place where he now resides, about three miles from Black's Station, and where he
has been a constant resident ever since 1852. At present he has 160 acres, which
is well improved.

  He was married in Philadelphia, February 16, 1860, to Miss Susan Schoch, a
native of Pennsylvania, born February 16, 1842, and they have had eight
children, six of whom are living: Lynford E., born in 1861; Joseph, deceased,
born in 1862; Clara, born in 1866; William, 1863; Nellie, 1868; Howard, 1872;
Edna, 1883; and Edmond, deceased, born in 1865.
