L. NESSLER was born in the province of Vorarlberg, Austria, in 1825, on the
seventeenth of March. He began as a butcher in 1843, and worked at the business
until he came to the United States, in 1854. After stopping a year in Wisconsin,
he came to California, and arrived in Downieville November, 1855, where he was
engaged in mining until the following spring. Then he went to Camptonville, Yuba
county, and was engaged in the occupation of a ferrier for a year, after which
he returned to Downieville and worked in a brewery three years, when, in company
with Joe Wackman, he bought the business. In 1864 the brewery was burned, and
they lost $10,000. They immediately rebuilt, at a cost of $8,000. Two years
after, Mr. Nessler bought out his partner, and ran the business alone for two
years, when he formed a partnership with J. A. Blohm, which existed for eight
years. In 1870 the brewery was again burned. Mr. Nessler now conducts the
business alone. He was married in 1863 to Miss M. Garibaldi of Downieville, who
has borne him four children, three of whom are living.
