NICOLAUS GADING, a prominent and prosperous farmer of Mount Eden, was born in
Germany, October 25, 1824, and early in life chose seamanship as a vocation and
followed it for twelve years. In 1854 he came around Cape Horn and located where
he now resides, on a farm of 325 acres, all of which is devoted to general
agriculture, excepting a few acres of orchard. His father, Christofer Gading,
was a native of Germany, a cooper by trade, and came to America in 1855; and his
mother, whose name before marriage was Johanna Rose, was also a native of
Germany and died in 1849. Mr. Gading was married at Mount Eden, March 20, 1855,
