E. W. BAGBY
E. W. BAGBY was born in Lane County, Oregon, in 1856. His father, E. W. Bagby, Sr., a farmer and stock-raiser, moved to California in 1862 and settled in Pajaro valley, where he purchased 320 acres of land. He lived there, engaged in agricultural pursuits and stock business, until 1872, when he moved to Gilroy. Three years later he came to Tulare County and settled on 160 acres of government land on Tule river, where he died in 1879.
E. W. Bagby remained with his father through his varied fortunes until his death, after which he managed the estate and looked after the interests of his mother and two sisters. He was married at Tipton, Tulare County, in 1885, to Miss Helen M. Hatch, a native of Sacramento. For several years they made a home for the mother and sisters of Mr. Bagby. He now has a ranch of 240 acres north of Tipton, twenty-five acres of which are in alfalfa. He rents other lands and sows annually about 500 acres in grain, dealing also in mixed stock on a small scale.
Mr. and Mrs. Bagby have one child, Veda Adelle. He is a member of the K. and P. Lodge, No. 131 Tipton, and of the Farmers’ Alliance in Tulare.
