GEORGE WOODWARD.—This gentleman was born in Wilmington, Delaware, July 14, 1821,
and was the son of Alice and George Woodward. He removed with his father's
family to Chester county, Pennsylvania, and when twelve years of age went to
Champaign county, Ohio, where his parents died. The family consisted of eleven
children, ten of whom grew to be men and women. Mr. Woodward, who is a carpenter
by trade, served his apprenticeship in Columbus, Ohio. From there he emigrated
to California in 1849, and worked at his trade in Sacramento until the flood of
1850, when he went to mining in the fall of 1850 in Plumas county. Since 1851 he
has resided permanently in Plumas. He was married October 25, 1857, to Martha
Portman, a native of England. Seven children have been born to them: Florence
E., Alice I., George F., Fannie, John J., Edgar W., and Arthur. Mr. Woodward was
one of the locators of the Mammoth mine.
