ANDREW DILL.—He was born in England, in February, 1832, and while still an
infant his parents came with him to the United States, and settled in New York
City. In 1850 Andrew started for California, via Cape Horn, being one year on
the voyage. He lived here a few years, and went to Virginia City with the first
rush to the Comstock. In January, 1870, he bought a ranch of J. D. Kelley,
twenty miles east of Susanville, containing 620 acres. In November, 1871, he
removed his family from Virginia City to this place, which has ever since been
their home. Mr. Dill is a member of the lodge, chapter, and commandery of the
Masonic order. In politics, he is a democrat. February 9, 1869, he married Miss
Maria E. Pickett of San Francisco, born March 20, 1844, in County Cork, Ireland,
and came to the United States in 1851, with her parents, settling in
Massachusetts. Their children are William A., born January 31, 1870; Ida M.,
October 8, 1871; Nettie S., December 8, 1873; Grace, September 3, 1875; Mollie,
June 17, 1880. The first two were born in Virginia City, the others in Honey
Lake valley.
