C. H. BEHRENS is a Native Son of the Golden West, and an enterprising business
man of Shasta. He was born within five miles of the town of Shasta, Shasta
County, the son of Ludwig Behrens. His parents, both natives of Germany, came to
California in 1849. He is the fourth of a family of seven children, six of whom
are living. Mr. Behrens was educated in Shasta, clerked in the Empire Hotel
eleven years, was in the mercantile business three years, and sold out and
engaged in the wholesale grain and hay business. Three years later he leased the
Empire Hotel, and is now (1890) successfully conducting both enterprises. He is
a lively and obliging business man and host. Guests receive prompt attention and
are comfortably entertained at the Empire Hotel, the only hotel in the town. Mr.
Behrens deals extensively in grain and hay. He furnishes supplies to parties
forty and even sixty miles away.

been born to them, Edna and Ella.
