YUBA COUNTY Biographies
JOSEPH B. McANULTY
A successful rancher, Joseph B. McAnulty was born in North Carolina, August 18, 1873, a son of John W. and Mary (Bangor) McAnulty, natives of Scotland, and the seventh of the fifteen children born to the McAnulty family. His father, who was a farmer, passed away in North Carolina at the age of seventy-three years; his mother died in 1922, at the same age.
Joseph B. McAnulty was reared and educated in the North Carolina district schools. When he was twenty-three years old, he left his home and parents and went to Hillsboro, Ill., where he was employed for seven years. After working in Emmetsburg, Iowa, for a year, he went to Boise, Idaho, and rented a quarter-section of land, which he farmed to hay and grain for about seven years.
On February 14, 1904, at Boise, Mr. McAnulty married Miss Laura Keck, a native of Le Mars, Iowa, and a daughter of C. C. and Mary (Halpin) Keck. Her parents, who were natives of Pennsylvania, first settled in Iowa and later moved to Boise, Idaho, where her father worked as a carpenter. Mr. Keck passed his last days in Sutter County, where he died on July 21, 1923, aged sixty-seven years. Joseph B. McAnulty moved to the Minidoka project, in Idaho, and homesteaded eighty acres of land, which he developed and sold. The family then moved to Yuba City, and Mr. McAnulty purchased sixteen acres of vineyard five miles west of Yuba City, which he improved with a fine home and farm buildings and a pumping plant. He himself set out ten acres of vineyard. Mr. and Mrs. McAnulty were blessed with three children: Hugh, Luther, and Josephine. Mr. McAnulty is a Democrat, politically; and fraternally he belongs to Odd Fellows Lodge No. 77, of Boise City, Idaho. He has maintained the standard of honesty and industry followed by his father, and is numbered among the valued and prominent citizens of his community.

LOUIS D. LOHMAN
Among the industrious orchardists of the Barry district of Sutter County is Louis D. Lohman, who early in life acquired habits of self-reliance, industry and economy which proved to be the foundations of his present prosperity. He was born in Washington County, Maryland, near the Antietam battlefield, January 13, 1861, the eldest of a family of four children born of Louis and Louisa (Douglas) Lohman, both natives of Hanover, Germany, and both now deceased. Louis D. Lohman received a public school education; and after the death of his parents he decided to come West. In 1878 he arrived on one of the early emigrant trains of the Southern Pacific Railroad. After his arrival in California he worked for nine years at ranch work on the Sacramento River.
In 1890 Mr. Lohman was married to Miss Ella Holmes, a native of Maryland, and two children have been born to them: Rosie is now the wife of George Gross and they have one son, John L., and reside in Sacramento; Edna is the wife of W. L. Boone, and they have one son, Jack. Mrs. Lohman passed away in Sutter County in 1904. Mr. Lohman was subsequently married to Mrs. Amelia Burch. In 1894 Mr. Lohman purchased eighteen acres on the Yuba City Slough, now the site of the Barry schoolhouse. This he developed and sold, and with the proceeds he purchased thirty-two acres which he developed into a fine orchard property and then sold for a fine profit. In 1912 he located on his present home place, consisting of ten acres in the Barry district. For eight years Mr. Lohman served as trustee of the Barry school district. Since 1898 he has been a member of Yuba City Lodge, I.O.O.F., and with his wife is a member of the Rebekah Lodge of the same place.
