J. D. FAGG.—He was born in 1826, in England, and when three years of age his
parents emigrated to this country, settling at Mount Vernon, Ohio, where they
both died within six weeks after their arrival. For the next four years, our
subject was taken care of, as it suited them, by half a dozen different
families, and then he became permanently connected with a family named Kinney,
who raised him, and gave him a good common-school education. In 1852 he was
married to Miss Eliza Grant of Franklin county, Ohio. While in Ohio, Mr. Fagg
conducted a saw-milling business until 1859, when he came to California, via the
Isthmus, and for the next six years was connected with a saw-mill near Forest
City, Sierra county. He then returned to Ohio with his wife, and farmed near
Columbus until 1869, when he came back to Sierra valley and engaged in
merchandising for two years at Loyalton. Then he sold out, and traveled some
time for his wife's health. October 24, 1877, she died at Reno, Nevada. Since
selling his store, his principal occupation has been money-loaning and
brokerage, though he has done some mining.
