JOHN C. PARTRIDGE.—He was born in Whitefield county, Maine, May 12, 1837. He
attended Kent's Hill seminary until fourteen years of age, when he commenced
clerking in a store in Gardner. He remained there until twenty years old, and
then went to Illinois, and attended the Rock River seminary two years. In the
spring of 1859 he came overland to California, arriving in Susanville in August.
A few months later he went to Plumas county, and engaged in mining on Feather
river. Two years later he returned to this county, and kept the Deep Hole
station two years, when he sold out and kept books for a firm in Susanville,
taught school, and was deputy in the clerk's office until September, 1868. He
then bought the Sage Brush, and published it nearly ten years. During that time
he was county surveyor two years and U. S. surveyor five years. In 1875 he
became postmaster at Susanville, and at the same time engaged in merchandising,
and continued thus until his death, June 22, 1881. He was a member of Lassen
