            Self-made in the best sense implied by the term, Strother E. 
Wilcoxon has for the past forty-seven years served in offices of responsibility 
in Sutter County.  He was the second white boy born in Yuba City, his birth 
having occurred on August 29, 1855.  At an early age he was thrown upon his own 
resources, and his first means of earning a livelihood was breaking wild horses 
and riding the range as a cowboy.  He received a meager schooling; but he 
profited well by the school of experience, which has been the means of his 
steady progress.  At the age of twenty-one years he entered the county offices.  
He has served as deputy county clerk and assessor, and deputy county auditor and 
recorder; and throughout all the years of his service he has been held in high 
esteem for his sterling traits of character.
            The marriage of Mr. Wilcoxon united him with Miss Mary A. Butler, a 
native of Ohio; and to them were born four children: Henry P., George E., Mrs. 
Josie H. Krull, and Mrs. Jennie E. Hauck.
