FRANKLYN G. SCHAEFFER

    One of those whom the state of Pennsylvania has contributed to the Golden
State is Franklyn G. Schaeffer, who was born in Northumberland county in the
year which closed the Civil war, 1865. His father, P. D. Schaeffer, a miller by
trade, was also a native of Northumberland county, and his mother, in maidenhood
Rebecca Stitzel, was likewise a native of Pennsylvania. When a lad of seventeen
years Franklyn Schaeffer accompanied his parents to Three Rivers, St. Joseph
county, Mich., where for the ensuing eight years he assisted his father in the
maintenance of the farm. In 1902 he carried out a plan which he had long been
cherishing and came to the Capay valley, Yolo county, Cal., where soon afterward
he purchased the land that is now his bearing orchard. This comprises twenty-one
acres of land near Rumsey, all of which, aside from two and one-half acres in
alfalfa, is in prune and apricot trees.

   For the past ten years Mr. Schaeffer has resided upon his ranch, devoting his
best interests to its development, and reaping a profit commensurate with the
energy and effort bestowed upon it. Last year, besides the income derived from
his alfalfa, which is of high quality, his fruit netted him over $2,000.

   Mr. Schaeffer's wife was formerly Miss Maggie Frymire, also a native of
Pennsylvania and one of his schoolmates. In politics Mr. Schaeffer votes the
independent ticket, and is deeply interested in the welfare of the community of.
which he has so long been a resident. Members of the Reformed Church, genial and
kindly, Mr. and Mrs. Schaeffer enjoy the esteem of a large circle of friends.
