PHILIP J. GOUMAZ.—The subject of this sketch was born in Switzerland, October 9,
1844. In the spring of 1851 his parents came to the United States. In 1852 they
settled on a farm in Fayette county, Illinois, where the father died in 1855,
and the mother in 1865. Philip remained on the farm until 1863, attending school
in winter, when he came to California. He arrived in San Francisco by the
Nicaragua route in April, 1863, and went to Plumas county. After farming there
two years, he came to Honey Lake valley. In the fall of 1866 he bought his
present ranch of 200 acres, three miles south-east of Susanville, where he has
since been engaged in the stock business. Mr. Goumaz is a member of the lodge,
chapter, and commandery of the Masonic order at Susanville. He is a republican
in his political views. June 29, 1880, he married Miss Susan J., daughter of
Captain E. S. and Sophia Talbot, born on the ship A. H. Stephens, off the coast
of Peru, January 26, 1858.
