    LAVERN L. FREEMAN. — A successful orchardist, whose accurate and extensive
practical knowledge of local conditions has enabled him to operate in the real
estate and insurance field to the decided advantage of his patrons, as well as
of himself, is Lavern L. Freeman, of Marysville, whose busy office is at 327 D
Street. He was born on a farm in McHenry County, Ill., on March 6, 1870, the son
of Henry and Sarah L. (Howard) Freeman, farmers and dairy folk; and under their
favoring supervision, he began an excellent educational training, which included
the best of courses in the grammar and high schools, and the University of
Illinois. Then he remained at home until he began a thirty-year experience in
teaching. 

    In 1897 Mr. Freeman located in Sutter County, where he later taught school
and was elected superintendent of county schools, serving for four years, after
which he took charge of the educational department at the Ione Industrial
School, and kept that for four years. After that, he engaged in the real-estate,
insurance, and brokerage business, always having the farm and its possible
exploitation in mind; and he has been able, since 1917, to put several
subdivisions on the market here, and to handle them very successfully, thus
extending the fame of Sutter County lands. He is himself very fond of farming,
takes a deep interest in progressive agriculture, and has a seventy-acre show
place of his own. In politics he is a Republican. 

    Mrs. Freeman, before her marriage, was Miss Mattie I. Morrison of Redlands,
Cal., but a native of Wisconsin. By a former marriage Mr. Freeman has three
children: Myrta A., a teacher in the Stockton schools; Juanita N., the wife of
Kenneth Gordon; and Lavern A., who has charge of his father's agricultural and
horticultural interests. Mr. Freeman is a Master Mason, and also belongs to the
Woodmen of the World. Mrs. Freeman takes a deep interest in the Marysville Art
Club, and is active in the work of the organization, promoting thereby the local
interest in art and art-study.
