ELIAS SEABOLD, a prominent farmer three and a half miles west of Madison, Yolo
County, has 465 acres there, upon which he raises wheat and barley. He was born
in Hesse-Cassel, Germany, October 5, 1827. His parents, Nicholas and Elizabeth
(Zindel) Seabold, natives of the father-land, died when he was a small boy. At
the age of twenty years he came to America, landing at New Orleans, and at once
went to St. Louis, Missouri, where he remained a year and a half, then he spent
six months at Quincy, Illinois; and then he came to California, in 1850,
stopping at Placerville, having been four months and a half on the journey. He
followed mining for some time in the neighborhood of Placerville, spent three
months in Sacramento, then mined five months on the Salmon River, returned to
Sacramento again with the intention of going East; but on arriving there he
changed his mind, concluding that if other people could stand it here he could.
Accordingly, he bought a team in Sacramento and went to freighting, following
that business from October, 1851 to 1867; he then entered Yolo County, where he
has since remained, purchasing that year the place which he still occupies. For
his wife he married Ellen Kegan, who was born in Ireland in 1837, their marriage
taking place in Placer County, January 29, 1859. Their children are: Elizabeth
J., who was born in March, 1872, and Annie S., who was born in March, 1874.
