GARD, G. W. Was born in Preble County, Ohio, January 2, 1826. When he was but a child his parents moved to Rush
County, Indiana, and after about five years moved to Delaware County. Here about the same length of time was spent
as in Rush County, when they took up their residence in Atchison County, Missouri. In 1849 the whole family, consisting
of the father and mother of the subject of this sketch, nine brothers and sisters, and his wife and one child,
crossed the plains to California. They settled in San Joaquin County, near Stockton, and engaged in fanning. In
September, 1859, G. W. moved with his family to Sonoma County and engaged in farming until January, 1860, when
he went to Yuba County and spent the winter in mining. In May, 1861, he came to Lake County and settled on his
present place, consisting of one hundred and twenty acres, located in Big Valley, about two miles from Kelseyville,
where he is engaged in farming. Mr. Gard married, March 5, 1848, Miss Eliza J. Hand, a native of Tennessee, by
whom he has seven living children: Isaac N., Martha E., Joel R., James A., Annie M., Arthur G. and Mary E.; and
have lost seven.
