DELWIN C. THORNBURG. A progressive, successful native son of whom the county may well be proud, is Delwin C. Thornburg, who was born in Turlock on April 10, 1887, the eldest son of L. E. and Hannah (Crispin) Thornburg now residents of Modesto by whom he was reared on a farm situated northwest of Turlock on the State Highway. He attended school at Turlock in the days when all the pupils were taught by one teacher. On attaining his twentieth year, Delwin Thornburg, with his brother, R. H. Thornburg, established a dairy on their home place, where they rented the land from their parents, but this enterprise they discontinued in 1908. The previous June, our subject had been married to Miss Petra Bella Sanders, who was born in Westport, Stanislaus County, and was the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. B. F. Sanders, extensive landowners in Stanislaus County, having been pioneers at Westport, where they live. Two children sprang from the union Vernon and Frances. Mr. and Mrs. Thornburg have a most attractive home place of fifty acres, which they handle in an admirable manner, and they own, besides, a handsome farm oftwenty acres which they have recently purchased. Mr. Thornburg is a stockholder and also a trustee in the T. M. & G. Inc., and is a member of the Woodmen of the World. He prefers the political tenets of the Republican party; and he is repaying handsomely all that Stanislaus County ever did for him, thus setting an excel- lent example, as a public-spirited citizen, for others.
