HIRAM HENIGAN

    The present efficient recorder of Yolo county, Cal., Hiram Henigan, of
Woodland, was born near Massena, St. Lawrence county, N. Y., June 20, 1876, and
when but seven years old accompanied his parents, Eli and Eliza (Miller)
Henigan, to California. The family located in Woodland, where the father died
four years later. The mother reared the children, fitting them as well as she
was able for the duties and responsibilities of the best citizenship, and lived
in the old home until her death, which occurred March 7, 1911.

    It was in the schools of Woodland that Mr. Henigan gained his education.
After he was graduated from the high school he engaged in draying and thus was
busied several years, working hard and learning a good deal about the city, its
business men and its enterprises and prospects. He then entered the employ of
Chris Sieber & Company, hardware merchants, with whom he remained four years,
still farther broadening his business vision. In August, 1910, he was nominated
on the Republican ticket for recorder of Yolo county, to which office he was
elected in the following November and the duties of which he assumed January 2,
1911. He has become popular as an official and his conduct of the business to
which he was chosen has given general satisfaction to citizens of all classes
and of every shade of political belief.

    In 1900 Mr. Henigan married Miss Lottie Boots, whose father, W. A. Boots,
came to Woodland among the earliest settlers. She has borne Mr. Henigan three
children: Lawrence, Wallace and Evelyn. Mr. Henigan is a member of the Foresters
of America; is a member of Woodland Lodge No. Ill, I. O. O. F., of which he is
past noble grand, and is identified also with Encampment No. 79 and is its past
chief patriarch. Frank and straightforward in all his dealings and associations
with men, he is well liked and much appreciated, and between him and the people
whom he conscientiously serves there exists a strong bond of friendship.
