DELLIVAN CAMERON INGRAM
Since 1899 Dellivan Cameron Ingram has made his home in California. Fourteen years ago he located in San Joaquin County, and most of his time since then has been given to agricultural pursuits. He was born in Saunders County, Nebr., April 24, 1876, a son of Daniel Cameron and Mary (Hurtt) Ingram. Daniel C. Ingram was a farmer in Nebraska, where he owned a quarter-section of land. He was twice married, and Dellivan Ingram is one of six children of the first marriage: John L., Ada, Anna, William, Dellivan Cameron, and Mary (deceased). Subsequent to his wife's death, Daniel C. Ingram married again, and by his second wife he had eight children, namely: Benjamin was deputy constable at Tracy and was killed while discharging his duties, Winfield, Daniel Margaret, Rhoda, Georgia, James, and Hattie Pearl. The father lived to be seventy-six years old and the mother died at the age of seventy-four.
Dellivan C. Ingram received a public school education in his native state, and at an early age began to make his own way in the world, working on various farms. In 1899 he came with his parents to Fresno County, Cal., where for nine years he found work in the logging camps. In 1908 he located in San Joaquin County, and became foreman for Robert Boyce on his ranch northwest of Woodbridge, remaining nine years. Then for three years he was foreman for C.A. Belli on his large ranch near Woodbridge. He then took up his duties as superintendent of the J.V. Bare ranches, 320 acres in one and 130 acres in the other, all in fruit, vineyard, alfalfa and grain. Here he has under his supervision from eight to fifty men, according to the season.
On March 12, 1904, at Stockton, Mr. Ingram was married to Miss Mamie Rodger, a native of Stockton, Cal., daughter of Manuel Garcia and Angelica Rodger, both natives of the Azores Islands. Mrs. Ingram received her education in the schools of Stockton. Mr. and Mrs. Ingram are the parents of two children: Roger and Edmond. In 1920 Mr. Ingram purchased a ten-acre ranch devoted to orchard and alfalfa. It is located two miles west of Woodbridge on the Thornton Road, and is irrigated from the Stockton-Mokelumne ditch. Fraternally, Mr. Ingram is a member of the Knights of Pythias of Woodbridge, and has passed through all the chairs of that order.
