RICHARD JACKS.—In Howard county, Missouri, September 22, 1830, the subject of
this sketch was born. In April, 1850, he started with a company for California,
and having lost their cattle in the Missouri river, they hired a man to haul
their provisions, and footed it across the continent, arriving at Placerville
September 5. After mining a few months in various localities, he came to
Poorman's creek, in this county, in April, 1851, mined there a short time, and
spent the summer on Canyon creek. For three years he mined in different places,
and in July, 1854, settled at Quincy. During the same year he erected a saw-mill
in Meadow valley. In 1863 he prospected on Reese river, but was glad to return;
and in 1864 bought the property he has resided on since. In 1869 he went to
Kansas to settle his father's estate, and while there was married to Florence
Freemont Bell, January 11, 1871, by whom he has had four sons and two daughters,
as follows: Doniphan R., Mary E., Solon J., Elias T., Florence J., and Andrew K.
Mr. Jacks is a member of Plumas Lodge No. 60, F. & A. M., and of Quincy Lodge
