H. C. HOWARD, a farmer and fruit-drier near Woodland, is one of the leading men
in his lines of business in Yolo County. His place two miles from Woodland
comprises 115 acres and is well improved. He has an apparatus by which he dries
forty-five tons of green grapes at one time, it requiring two weeks to dry them.
All his life he has been industrious and energetic, and well deserves the little
fortune he now enjoys. His parents, Eli and Harriet (Boldman) Howard, are still
living, in Hamilton, County, Ohio,—the father born in Kentucky, in 1833, and the
mother in Ohio, in 1835. Mr. Howard, whose name heads this sketch, was born in
Lewis County, Kentucky, in September 1858, and came to Yolo County in 1882,
where he was first employed on a ranch. In 1881, in Kentucky, he married Miss
Isabel Chapin, a native of that State. Their children are Edward G., Carry,
Minnie B. and Charles L.
