H. H. SLAVENS, dry-goods merchant at Woodland, is the son of H. and Lydia
(Goodman) Slavens. His father, a native of Kentucky, and a farmer and drover,
died in Iowa in 1869; and his mother, born in Indiana, is still living in
Ottnmwa, Iowa. In 1855 Mr. Slavens, when seventeen years of age, came to
California, landing first at Stockton, where he worked at odd jobs, mostly farm
work, until he came in 1883 to Woodland, where he has since been successfully
engaged in mercantile business. For several years he was on Main street; but the
present year, 1890, he opened a dry-goods and clothing store opposite the old
stand and near the Capital Hotel. The establishment is now known as the Star
Clothing House, and they carry a large stock of fancy goods and are well known
throughout the county.

  Mr. Slavens was married in 1881, to Emma Canion, who was born in Santa Clara
County, and their two children are: Harold, aged five years, and Effie, one year.
