MRS. JANE ELIZABETH PAUL

   Among the most enterprising and highly respected citizens of Winters is Mrs.
Paul, a horticulturist who is making a success of her undertaking and a woman of
sterling qualities and courageous optimism, who has been a resident of this
ranch for twenty-eight years. During this time she has seen it develop from a
cow pasture to a full-bearing orchard, a part of which she has set out a second
time.

   In maidenhood Mrs. Paul was Miss Hill, born in Guelph, Ontario, Canada, July
20, 1852, the daughter of William and Esther (Cunningham) Hill, who were natives
of England and Ireland, respectively, and who settled in Canada in an early day.
Jane E. Hill received her education in the schools of Guelph and at an early age
became the wife of James Haynes, who was born in Lower Canada, and who, five
years after their marriage, passed away in Guelph, where he was laid to rest.
Mr. and Mrs. Haynes were blessed with three children, as follows: William H., of
Sacramento; Minnie, who became the wife of O. E. Fuller, of Sacramento, and has
five children, Wesley, William, Eveline, Ruth and Mary; and Maud, the wife of A.
H. Blanchard, of Sacramento, and the mother of one child, Laurena J. Mr. Haynes
was a carpenter by trade and a broad-minded Democrat, interested in all public
enterprises of worth. After Mr. Haynes' death in 1884 his widow came to Yolo
county and located on the ranch she now occupies, consisting of twenty acres and
located one mile west of Winters. Not a tree was on the place at that time, but
since then it has all been set out to orchard, principally to peaches and
apricots, and five acres have been reset to Muir peaches, the last mentioned
land having been in peaches for the past twenty-seven years. The balance of the
land is in full bearing, the crop either being dried or shipped to the cannery.

   In Woodland Mrs. Haynes was married to Joseph H. Paul, who was born in
Canton, Mo., February 9, 1851. Of the five children born of this marriage four
are living. Joseph F., the eldest, married Miss Emily Hardy, and they and their
son, Joseph L., reside in Sacramento; the other children, Cornelius, Rudolph and
Lauretta J., make their home with their mother.

   Joseph F. Paul is a member of the Woodmen of the World, and his brothers,
Cornelius and Rudolph, are members of the Independent Order of Red Men and the
Foresters. All of the brothers are Republicans, intelligently interested in both
civic and national political developments. Mrs. Paul is a member of St.
Anthony's Catholic Church of Winters. She is a woman of indomitable energy and
perseverance and in her horticultural efforts is ever forging onward to success.
She is much esteemed by those who know her for her many acts of kindness and her
universal good nature.
