EDWARD EVERETT GADDIS - A native of this state and also of Yolo county, Edward E. Gaddis was born in Zamora February 25, 1865, the son of that well-known and worthy pioneer, Henry Gaddis, who is represented elsewhere in this volume. In his childhood and early
boyhood Edward E. attended the public school near his home, and when he was sixteen years old he entered St. Augustine College, at Benicia, Cal., and graduated therefrom in 1885. Following his graduation he entered the law department of the University of California, from which he was duly graduated in 1888, with the degree of LL.B. Before the close of that year he had been elected
district attorney of Yolo county, in which office he served with credit and success from January, 1889, to January, 1891. He took up the practice of his profession in Woodland, and continued it, with the best results professional and pecuniary, until in November, 1896, when he was elected on the Republican ticket superior judge of Yolo county. He was re-elected in 1902, and served twelve years, from January, 1897, to January, 1909, when he resumed his practice in
Woodland, giving his attention to general law cases of whatever kind or class.
As a lawyer and as a judge he has placed the law and the obligations of the lawyer on a very high plane. Many noted cases have been tried by him or have come before him for adjudication, and his conduct at the bar and on the bench has invariably commended him to the good opinion of high-minded and discriminating men.
At Oroville, Butte county, Cal., in 1900, Judge Gaddis married Miss Anna Biggs, a native of Oroville, daughter of the late Major Marion Biggs, Jr., who was in his day well known as a wealthy and enterprising land owner, farmer and stockman, and granddaughter of Marion Biggs, who was the pioneer at Biggs and the founder of the town. Mr. and Mrs. Gaddis have their residence at No. 734
College street. The Judge was made a Mason in Woodland Lodge No. 156, F. & A.M., and is identified with Pythian Lodge No. 43, K. P., and with Woodland Parlor No. 30, N. S. G. W."
