BYNUM, JOSEPH, M. D. Was born March 5, 1820, in Howard County, Missouri, and was educated in college at Fayette,
that State. He was married in 1842 to Elizabeth Adams, and on the 3d day of February they moved to Sheridan County,
where he commenced practicing medicine, for which he had his diploma two years previous to that time. He engaged
in stock raising and merchandising for two years and paid but little attention to his practice. He then concluded
to come to California and left his beautiful home April 7, 1853, and arrived in Yolo County in the same year, and
established himself in Cacheville, and retained a lucrative practice for twelve years. During this time he was
Couuty Physician for eight years. After practicing medicine in Yolo County for twelve years he moved to Lower Lake,
Lake County, on account of the advice of friends. He settled in that place in 1864, and there were only three or
four houses in the town when he arrived there. Herrick & Getz had a store. The population was so small that
he could not make a living by practicing medicine, and he concluded to build a hotel, which was the first hotel
that was ever at Lower Lake. It has been his misfortune to lose three of his children in Missouri and two in California,
and he has five children living, three sons and two daughters, all residents of Lake County excepting one, who
resides in Santa Clara.
