DANIEL FARNHAM,  a farmer of Yolo County, was born in Cass County, Michigan,
October 22, 1839, a son of Daniel Farnham, Sr. He was brought up on a farm, and
in 1859 he started for Pike's Peak, with his father, but meeting many
disappointed men returning from that point they concluded to come on to
California. Stopping in Placer County, they engaged in mining there until 1861,
when Mr. Farnham, the subject of this sketch, purchased a team and followed
freighting three years. He then disposed of his outfit and bought the place, in
1865, where he now lives. In 1865 he married Miss S. Dopking, a native of Van
Buren County, Michigan, and they have six children, namely: Frank, twenty-two
years old; Marcia, thirteen; Harvey, nine; Niah, seven; Claud, five; Ira,
three,—all living in Yolo County, California.
