HIRAM N. SKADDAN.—The present sheriff of Lassen county was born in Coshocton
county, Ohio, May 19, 1836. When he was three years old the family removed to
New York, and two years later to Michigan, where they still live, in Ingham
county. In 1862 Hiram came overland to Honey Lake valley, and soon went to Gold
Hill, Nevada, engaging in hauling ore for a year. He then went home, and came
back to this valley again in 1864, and farmed and teamed for two-years. He then
engaged in the livery business in Reno for one year. He began staging from Reno
to Susanville, and followed that business six years. After this he engaged in
the sheep business three years. He was then appointed deputy by Sheriff
Washburn, and in the fall of 1879 was elected sheriff on the democratic ticket.
December 25, 1875, he married Miss Fannie Lovell of Susanville, who died
November 25, 1879. There was born to them, in 1877, a son, Vaughn, who died in
infancy. November 16, 1880, he married Grace N., daughter of Captain E. S. and
Sophia Talbot. Their only child, Hiram T., was born November 16, 1881, and the
mother died four days later.
