Read More	RICHARD MILTON FICHTER Perseverance, energy and ambition are the keynotes to the success of Richard Milton Fichter, who was born in Morris County, near Newark, N. J., on June 11, 1858, a son of William and Charlotte (Davenport) Fichter. His father, a farmer, was also a native of New Jersey. The family were originally from German stock, Richard Milton Fichter being of the fifth generation in America. Mr. Fichter's great-great-grandfather was in the Revolutionary War. His mother, also a native of New Jersey, came from Scotch parentage. Richard Milton Fichter was reared in New Jersey and attended the district schools. When nearly nineteen years old, on February 12, 1877, he came to California and settled at the South Butte, where later sprang up a larger settlement, and eventually Sutter City. He first became a ranch hand, working for wages about one and one-half years; and then he leased a 320-acre grain farm for five years. Today this ranch is known as the Onstott vineyard. Mr. Fichter has farmed ever since locating in the county, leasing various ranches in the immediate vicinity of the Buttes. In 1884 he purchased a corner property at the south side of Sutter City and built a blacksmith shop and hardware store, which he has also conducted in connection with ranching. At present he farms about 300 acres of land near Sutter City, which he devotes to grain and beans. On the Stevens Ranch, in September, 1885, Richard Milton Fichter was united in marriage with Miss Eliza McPherrin, who was born at South Butte, a daughter of John T. and Caroline (Stevens) McPherrin. Her father was a very early pioneer of California, and the Stevens family were also early settlers. J. F. Stevens, grandfather of Mrs. Fichter, was born in 1813 and was engaged in the iron business for a number of years prior to coming West. He came to California in 1855, leaving his family in the East. When he arrived in San Francisco, he had but twenty-eight dollars. He went to the mines, but soon settled on Section 2, Township 15 North, Range 2 East, on the Onstott ranch, in Sutter County, and in 1860 sent for his family; and there he resided until he passed away. On this ranch Eliza McPherrin first saw the light. She was the oldest of the five children born to Mr. and Mrs. McPherrin, the others being Ella and Elizabeth, deceased; Chester, at Tudor; and Arthur, also deceased. She attended school at South Butte. Mr. and Mrs. Fichter are the parents of three children: Alfred Milton; Gertrude, Mrs. Ray Thomas, of Sutter; and Charlotte. Mr. Fichter is a stanch Republican, who gives his support to the best men and measures proposed for the welfare of the community. From: "History of Yuba and Sutter Counties" page 482, Pub. 1924
