W. A. SPERRY.—Mr. Sperry was born September 9, 1837, in New York. While a young
man, his parents removed to Wisconsin, settling in Dodge county, where our
subject lived until he had attained the age of twenty-five; when, in 1863, he
came to California, via Panama, and mined at Howland flat, Sierra county, for
seven years. In 1870 he located 320 acres of land six miles southeast of
Beckwourth, where he has since lived. He was married July 16, 1869, to Miss
Annie McFarlan, of Lower Canada, then a resident of Howland flat. Their children
are Nettie M., born May 3, 1871; Nellie M., July 7, 1872; Lilly B., August 2, 1874.
