  Henry Boyen. Was born in Hanover, Germany, May 23, 1842. At the age of twelve
years he went to sea as cabin-boy, and sailed for three years in German vessels
from German to English, Norwegian, Danish and Russian ports, during the Summer
months, attending school during the Winter. At fifteen years of age, he shipped
on a voyage from Bremen to Malaga, Barcelona and other Spanish ports; thence
proceeding to Riga, in the Baltic sea, finally returning home. After remaining
there for four months, he shipped with his former captain on a voyage from
Bremen to San Juan, Porto Pico, whence he proceeded to San Francisco, calling in
on the journey at Valparaiso. After a passage of two hundred and twenty days,
Mr. Boyen arrived in San Francisco, where, leaving his craft, he shipped on the
American vessel "Caroline Reed" for Puget sound. At the end of two months he
returned to San Francisco, and left his ship and went on board the coaster
"Oceola," but at the end of eight months he left her and obtained employment in
the Albany brewery, where he worked for five years. He then purchased a horse
and wagon and sold beer on commission for three years, at the end of which he
purchased a half-interest in the San Rafael brewery, which he now conducts in
partnership with F. Georl. Married June 29, 1870, Dora Mensing, by whom he has
Albert, born December, 1870; Eddie, born March 19, 1871; Mary, born April 30, J
873; Amelia, born April 10, 1877; and Dora, born December 30, 1878.
