CHAPTER XII.

G.S. HEMSTREET.

George Sanford Hemstreet was born on his father's farm, in Colusa County, six miles south of Princeton. In 1866, his father having purchased one thousand six hundred and thirty acres of land, one mile north of Princeton, and moved his family, George was sent to attend the Princeton district school. He afterwards was a student of Woodman's Academy, at Chico, graduating there at the age of seventeen years. He supplemented this with a one year's course at the Placerville Academy. He now returned home and assisted in the management of his father's farm till that gentleman's death, which occurred in December, 1876. He aided his mother in directing the work of the farm till her death, which took place March 20, 1887, when the whole care of the place fell to him, and on which he still resides. Mr. Hemstreet was married, December, 1886, to Miss De Pue, of Sacramento, by whom he has one son, Elmo Leland, to aid in brightening an attractive and comfortable home.
