  James McCausland, Whose portrait appears in this work, was born in Lancaster
county, Pennsylvania, July 19, 1830. In 1853, in company with his brother
William, he started for California and landed in San Francisco March 5, 1853. On
arrival he proceeded to the mines in Calaveras and Tuolumne counties and there
remained until 1856, in the month of December of which year or January of '57,
he came to his present ranch and put in a crop of potatoes. That same year he
purchased the farm and has since resided on it. Married, November 6, 1877,
Lizzie Kidder, a native of Lancaster, Massachusetts. We are safe in saying that
no man throughout the length and breadth of Marin has done more to forward the
interests of the county. He is just in his dealings, true to his instincts,
honest in his convictions and genial in his manners; taking him all in all, no
truer Friend exists than the ever popular Jim McCausland.
