Fair Oaks Founding Fathers

From time to time, when doing research on Fair Oaks, I find myself faced with a surname and want to know if this was an original Fair Oaks Colony property owner. Fortunately, the 1896 "Heart of California" advertising magazine has a "partial list of purchasers and residents of Fair Oaks, Nov. 1, 1896." Unfortunately, the list is not in alphabetical order and it takes forever to look someone up. So, I decided to scan the two page list, convert the scanned picture to text, and plug it into a database. Below are the results, sorted by last name.
