EDMOND J. ENGLEHART, an agriculturist between Winters and Davisville, Yolo
County, was born October 20, 1841, in Guernsey County, Ohio, a son of Samuel and
Mary Englehart, natives of Pennsylvania, who moved form that State to Ohio,
afterward to Missouri, and in 1856 overland to California. His father died at
the Big Meadows, on Humboldt Creek, leaving a family of six sons and three
daughters; and his mother died at Healdsburg in 1883. In the family were nine
children, named James, William, John, Joseph, Samuel, Eliza, Jane, Cassander and
Edmond J., -all of whom are now residing in California. The first year in this
State the subject of this sketch resided just above Sacramento; next he worked
at intervals on a farm in Sonoma County until 1863; in 1864-'66 he followed
teaming through the mountains, returned to farm work until 1869; then rented
land of John Wolfskill until 1879, when he purchased 371 acres of J. T. Cary,
and to-day he has one of the best farms in Yolo County; it is situated on Putah
Creek, between Winters and Davisville, as before stated. The place is well
improved, and is indeed a beautiful one. Mr. Englehart is a member of the order
of Freemasons, Knights Templar and Odd Fellows, holding his membership in the
blue lodge, No. 195, Dixon Chapter, No. 48, and Woodland Commandery, No. 21.

  He was married in Woodland, October 18, 1871, to Emma Edwards, who was born in
Scott County, Illinois, January 8, 1849, a daughter of Lorenzo and Sarah (Brown)
Edwards, her father a native of Massachusetts and her mother of Illinois. Mr.
and Mrs. Englehart have two children: Cleve E., born September 22, 1873; and
Vivian J., born April 27, 1885.
