LAWRENCE HEARTY
About sixty-three years ago Lawrence Hearty settled in Stockton. He became a prominent citizen and was associated with many early events in the county, as well as with its later progress and improvement. For several years he conducted the Weber stables, and then, in 1874, bought 520 acres of land near Ripon, where he engaged extensively in grain farming and stockraising until his death in November, 1901. On May 8, of the following year, 1902, his widow passed away, leaving two sons and two daughters. Charles died on May 22, 1922, survived by one son, John Bertrand Hearty. Catherine E. is the widow of Thomas Clinton. Thomas Clinton came to California in 1877, and engaged in farming until his death, November 29, 1903. Mr. and Mrs. Clinton were the parents of four children. Annie is the wife of Alfred Carroll, and they have two children and reside at Atlanta; Alice is at home with her mother; Edward is associated with his mother on the home ranch; Nellie is at home. Annie Hearty, the deceased wife of James McCormick, is survived by three children: Mary A., Mrs. C.C. Hitchcock; Charles B.; and James, Jr. Thomas Hearty is a successful grain farmer in Dent Township. From 1910 he was justice of the peace of that township, until it was divided in 1923, forming Ripon township, and he was elected in the latter township.
Lawrence Hearty and his good wife were most liberal in their contributions to charities, more particularly to St. Patrick's Parish at Atlanta. Their daughter, Mrs. Clinton, is also a faithful member and an untiring worker for the cause of St. Patrick's. Mrs. Clinton and her son are associated with Thomas Hearty in general farming. They enjoy the confidence of the business community and the respect of their associates in social life, and are consistent members of St. Patrick's Parish.
