YATES, IRA G. Was born in Lee County, Virginia, March 15, 1821. In 1825 his parents moved to Missouri. Here
young Ira grew up on a farm and in 1855 went to Kansas, taking with him his wife and four children, which at this
time constituted his family. In Kansas, farming was prosecuted until 1864, when he moved to Montana, where mining
was followed in connection with keeping hotel, until 1866, when he returned to Missouri. Here Mr. Yates once more
engaged in farming, which he followed until 1870, when he came to California and located at Lower Lake, Lake County,
where he has since resided. For the past seven years he has held the office of Constable of Lower Lake Township
and Deputy Sheriff two years. He was married, May 25, 1842, to Miss Johanna Shepherd, and the fruits of this union
are six living children: Owen C., Rebecca J., Enoch, Levina A, Susie and Sallie. They have lost three: William,
James K. P. and Elizabeth.
