HON. J. H. CAROTHERS, M. D.—Was born in Beaver county, Pennsylvania, September
5, 1824, and moved, in 1832, to Crawford county, Ohio, where the early part of
his life was spent in clearing the forests of that then new country. He
afterwards studied medicine, with Dr. A. Blymer, in Delaware, Ohio. He is a
graduate of the Miami Medical College, of that State, and is considered one of
the ablest physicians in this section of the country, his practice calling him
on long trips about Contra Costa and the surrounding districts. He came to
Martinez in 1854. In 1857 he laid out the town of Pacheco, and resided there for
about fifteen years, when he moved back to Martinez, in 1874, and erected his
present handsome residence, situated on an entire block, in the center of the
village. Everything about his place denotes thrift, taste and care. The neat
graveled walks are lined with choice flowers, and the whole place is surrounded
by thrifty shade trees. Dr. Carothers is a member of the County Medical Society,
and of the Medical Society of the State of California. He was elected to the
Legislature in 1869-70, and took an honorable part in the business of that body,
ably representing his constituents, and filling the place creditably to himself
and them.
