MRS. E. POCKMAN.—In the list of those holding a prominent place as
agriculturists in Yolo County, the name of Mrs. E. Pockman is entitled to a
leading position, both on account of the excellence of her fine ranch, and
because of the admirable way in which its affairs are managed. She is the widow
of the late J. M. Pockman, who was one of the older and more respected residents
in the county. He was a native of Missouri, and the date of his birth was
January 9, 1842. When a young man he came to this State with a party of others,
some of whom settled in Yolo County, among them William Hatcher, a sketch of
whose life appears elsewhere in this volume. Mr. Pockman arrived in 1852, and in
the following year settled in Yolo County, making it his home up to the time of
his death, which occurred in April, 1882. He was married to Mrs. Pockman, whose
maiden name was Elizabeth Brown, at the town of Yolo, on October 20, 1873. Mr.
Pockman spent the active portion of his life in Yolo County, was a man possessed
of an unusual amount of energy and perseverance, and was always actuated by the
highest motives. He was a man very highly esteemed throughout the community,
both for the kindliness of his heart and the generosity of his nature. He
provided well for his family, doing for them all that a kind husband and father
could accomplish, accumulating during his life a considerable property.

  Mrs. Pockman is a native of Wisconsin, where she was born in 1854. When she
was a mere child her parents removed to St. Paul, Minnesota, where they lived
till 1872, when they came to California. She is the owner of a splendid tract of
640 acres of beautiful farming land, all of it lying in Yolo County and all of
it highly improved. She has four children, three boys and one girl.
