Benito county, was born in Dorchester, Grafton county, New Hampshire, April 27,
1833. In 1854 he left home for California, going via the Isthmus of Panama,
arriving in due time in San Francisco. He was engaged for the first five years
in mining in Placer, Tuolumne and other counties, but finally entered the wood
business, which he followed in San Joaquin county and San Juan, near which
latter place he now farms eighty-five acres. He has prospered and now has a
competence for himself and family.

  He was married in December, 1873, to Miss Sarah Twitchell, an intelligent
lady, and daughter of a widely known resident of this State. There are nine
children: Jasper Twitchell; Harrison H.; Sarah E. Roe; Nancy J., now Mrs. Norman
