GEORGE W. TABER
 
GEORGE W. TABER, a farmer of Capay Valley, Yolo County, being one of the old 
settlers there, was born in 1847, the son of Lorenzo and Eveline (Painter) 
Taber.  His father, a shoemaker by trade, died in Capay, February 10, 1878, and 
his mother died at the same place, August 22, 1883.  Mr. Taber came across the 
plains in 1852 to California, with the family, and they stopped in Sacramento, 
and the father ran a hotel in the foothills during the fall of 1861 and winter 
following.  After residing six years in Oregon he became the proprietor of a 
fine ranch in Capay Valley, which is still the homestead occupied by the subject 
of this sketch, who is well and favorably known through the valley for his good 
qualities.  The farm contains 340 acres of well improved land, within three 
miles of Capay, and his principal product is grain.
            August 14, 1882, in Woodland, Mr. Taber married Mrs. Catherine J. 
Harley, and their children are: Jennie, the wife of Lee Wood, a farmer in the 
valley; Allen and Yuba.
