DANIEL F. HOUX, a farmer near Black's, Yolo County, was born December 7, 1845,
in Johnson County, Missouri, a son of Leonard and Sarah (Tebbs) Houx, natives of
Kentucky, and old-time settlers of California, coming in 1852. Daniel's uncle
was captain of the train coming overland, and he being well acquainted with the
features of the route, they were only about three months on their way. After
remaining in Washington about a month, they moved up upon the place of Mr. E. G.
Berger, camped there about two weeks and then went to the place of the
above-mentioned uncle and followed farming there the ensuing winter. During the
next autumn they returned and settled on a place where the subject of this
sketch is now residing, and has occupied it ever since 1853.

  The subject of this sketch attended business college in San Francisco and
school at Vacaville; 1873-'86 was engaged in farming in Colusa County, and then
bought out the heirs of the old homestead. The place now contains 160 acres of
excellent land, being situated three-fourths of a mile east of Black's. In the
spring of 1877 he built upon this place a fine residence.

  He was married in Arbuckle, Colusa County, August 29, 1878, to Miss Lucinda F.
Maupin, a native of Humboldt County, California, and they have two children
living and one deceased, namely: Minnie M., born April 5, 1881, and Royal R.,
July 6, 1886. The deceased is Lulu M.
