 GEORGE FEAVER. A well-known and successful fruit-grower and vineyardist of Fresno county, 
George Feaver is located on his eighty-acre ranch in the Fowler district, eight and a half miles 
southeast of the city of Fresno. A native of England, he was born in 1838, and there remained 
for many years, earning his livelihood among the more or less hampering conditions of a thickly 
peopled country. He was forty-seven years old when he decided upon emigration to the 
western world, in 1883 crossing the ocean and seeking a new home for his family. California was 
his destination, and on his arrival here he settled in Fresno county, in Washington colony 
purchasing land upon which he remained for three years. He then moved to the Fowler district, 
and in 1902 he removed to his present location and is now devoting his energies to the 
cultivation of raisin grapes and fruit of various kinds. Though having nearly reached the biblical 
allotment of years he is still active and energetic, and takes a keen interest in the supervision of 
his affairs. 

Mr. Feaver married Ellen Andrews, a native of Wells, England, and they are the parents of ten 
children, namely: George, who is the superintendent of the Scott vineyard ; Ethel, who married 
F. L. Bennetts; May, who married Charles Bennetts ; Ernest ; Lillian ; Claude; Cecil; Morris; John; 
and Helen. In his political convictions Mr. Feaver is an adherent of the principles of the 
Republican party.
