JOHN P. M. SMITH.—He was born August 17, 1850, in Cornwall, England. Six years
later his father died, leaving a family of three boys and one girl. When John
was twelve years of age he went to work in the mines, and so continued until
1870, when, with his mother and sister Jane, he came to California. They came to
Lassen county, and have since lived on the farm of 160 acres, twelve miles east
of Susanville, which his brother Robert had purchased for a homestead for their
mother. John works the farm, and his mother lives with him. He is yet a single
man. In politics, he adheres to the republican party.
