(1891) DAVID O. JUDY, a liveryman of Winters, is a son of Philip and Sarah A. (O'Rear) Judy, natives of Kentucky, who in the spring of 1859 moved to Boone County, Missouri, where he, the father, died, February 15, 1888, and where the mother is still living, at the age of fifty-four years. Mr. Judy, of this sketch, was born April 25, 1859, in Missouri, and lived there until March, 1882, when he came to California. On his arrival here he worked four months in the lumber business for Towle Brothers; then was foreman of a ranch for fourteen months for M. V. Sparks; next he attended Heald's Business College at San Francisco for four months; then for five months was employed upon the ranch of John Wolfskill in Solano County; next he and his brother Henry F. rented 400 acres of land near Davisville for five years; and finally, in 1889, David bought a half interest in the only livery stable at Winters, of McArthur; and a month later his brother Henry purchased the other half, and now the Judy brothers have a stable from which they turn out very fine rigs. They are gentlemanly in their disposition and well adapted to their business. They have fourteen head of fine road horses. Their building spot is 80x120 feet in dimensions. Mr. Judy, the subject of this notice, is yet unmarried. Additional Comments: Extracted from Memorial and Biographical History of Northern California.
