            The conservative yet progressive methods of Henry H. Hageman, a 
successful agriculturist in the vicinity of Yuba City, Sutter County, have 
brought to him the competence which is every man�s due; while his sterling 
traits of character have won for him the esteem and confidence of all who know 
him.  He is a native son of Sutter County, born four miles southwest of Live 
Oak, on August 19, 1861, the eldest son and second child of John and Annie 
(Wiedenmyer) Hageman, pioneers of California.  Henry H. Hageman received his 
education in the old Union and Columbia schools, and for a time attended the 
Live Oak district school, now known as the Encinal district school.  At twelve 
years of age he was doing a man�s work on neighboring farms, driving the big 
teams in the grain fields.  By 1901 he was able to save enough money to purchase 
120 acres of  bare land, in what is now known as the Tierra Buena district, 
where he has since made his home, and where for the past twenty-two years he has 
been a successful grain-raiser; and in connection with his grain-raising he also 
raises a great many head of stock.  One year ago, also, he set out eleven acres 
to Thompson Seedless grapes.
            The marriage of Mr. Hageman, in Marysville, October 1, 1902, united 
him with Miss Mary Ann Schaefers, a native of Iowa, born in Clayton County, a 
daughter of Xavier and Mary (Berns) Schaefers.  She accompanied her brother, 
Henry Schaefers, to California in 1890.  Three children have been born to Mr. 
and Mrs. Hageman:  Casper, Henry, and Francis.  For six years Mr. Hageman served 
as chairman of the board of trustees of the Tierra Buena school district, during 
which time a new building was completed at a cost of $24,000.  He is a Democrat 
in politics; and fraternally he belongs to the Knights of Columbus at 
Marysville.
