W. B. NASH, one of the pioneers of California, came to the State, in 1853, via
the Isthmus of Panama, from the Pine Tree State, Maine.

  Mr. Nash was born in Columbia, Washington county, Maine. March 3, 1834. His
father, Jesse Lee Nash was a lumberman and shipbuilder, and of the four sons and
two daughters born to him, our subject is the youngest. Upon coming to
California our subject proceeded to the mines where he spent six months. He then
went to Astoria, Oregon, and spent a year in the pine lumbering mills of that
place, from which section he went to Redwood City. Mr. Nash then spent nine
years in the lumber regions of San Matio and Sierra counties, after which he
made a trip of about six months to the Eastern States.

Addison, Washington county, Maine. Her father was a ship-carpenter. In 1869 Mr.
