N. STAMFLI, son of O. J. and Catherine Stamfli, was born in Switzerland, July
22, 1816. In 1856 he came to New Orleans, stopped two weeks, and then started,
via the Nicaragua route, for San Francisco. From there he came to Plumas county,
mined eight months, went to Guatemala and farmed twenty months, and then
returned and bought the Waterworth ranch of 160 acres. In 1867 he purchased the
Chapman ranch of 290 acres, adjoining him on the east, all of which is now known
as the Stamfli ranch. In these transactions, his brother Frank J. has been an
equal partner. October 10, 1842, he was married to Catherine Zuber of Switzerland.
