About James Newton Givan
http://genealogytrails.com/cal/modoc/bio1.html
J. N. GIVAN has been the owner of two hundred acres of land near Adel since 1902 and is fast converting this Into a valuable and highly improved property. He is leading a useful and busy life and is recognized as one of the progressive ranchmen of the Warner valley. His birth occurred in Keokuk county, Iowa, April 13, 1863, his parents being Henry C. and Phoebe (Jacobs) Givan, both of whom were natives of Indiana and were there reared, but they were married in Iowa. In the winter of 1870-1 they made their way to Modoc county, California, where they continued throughout their remaining days, the father passing away in 1911 at the advanced age of eighty-one years. He had always followed farming both in the east and in the west. In the family were four children: Tilda, who is the widow of C. B. Blake, and resides in Modoc county, California; J. N.; Lydia, who is a widow also of Modoc county; and Emma, the wife of James McKee, of the North Warner valley.
J N. Givan was but seven years of age when brought by his parents to the Pacific coast, and in Modoc county continued his residence until seventeen years of age, when he came to the Warner valley, where he has since spent the greater part of his time. He worked on the J. J. ranch at Plush for twenty-one years as a buccaro and in 1902 started ranching on his own account, having carefully saved his earnings until his capital was sufficient to enable him to purchase his present ranch. His home place near Adel comprises two hundred acres, all of which is tillable, and he also has a hay ranch five miles north of Adel. He also has two places rented, totaling three hundred and twenty acres, and is now extensively engaged in putting up hay and raising stock. He cuts about seven hundred tons of hay annually and has about seven hundred head of cattle and two hundred head of horses on the ranch. His brand is a bar drawn across a circle and his stock are known as the circle-bar stock. He employs nine men during the haying season, lasting from six weeks to two months, and also employs one man throughout the entire year, while he and his two sons are at the same time busily engaged in conducting his interests, thus making four men working at all times upon the place.
In the fall of 1890 Mr. Givan was married to Mrs. Dora E. Overton, who was born in Siskiyou county, California, in 1865, and is a daughter of Joel Rambo. By her former marriage she had two children: Plumber Overton, now deceased; and Daisy, the wife of J. A. Morris, who is mentioned on another page of this work. To Mr. and Mrs. Givan have been born three children, Ernest, Hazel and Dallas. Mr. Givan belongs to the Independent Order of Odd Fellows. Although he is an advocate of all lines of public progress and improvement he has little time to devote to public activities because of the demands made upon him by his business interests, which are growing in volume and importance. He has always labored earnestly and his success is the ultimate outcome and merited reward of his energy and enterprise. [The Centennial History of Oregon, 1811-1912, volume 4; by Joseph Gaston.
