	lives three miles from Elk Grove, his Post Office, and 
thirteen miles from Sacramento. Was born in State of New York, in 1842. When 
quite young he moved, with his parents, to Illinois. He has lived in several of 
the Western and Southern States. In 1854 he came across the plains to 
California; he then engaged in mining at Placerville, which he followed with 
fair success for about five years. He then settled in this county, on his 
present location, and has been engaged principally in farming ever since. He 
owns one hundred and sixty acres of land, which, with improvements, are worth 
about $3000. Mr. Bartholomew was married in 1866 to Miss Harriet Y. Lingsay, a 
native of Iowa; they have a son and a daughter living.
