Carothers, William O. A native of Hancock county, Illinois, born July 26, 1847.
When six years of age his parents emigrated to California across the plains, and
located in Petaluma, where the subject of this sketch was educated at the public
schools. In 1868 his parents moved to Sacramento City, and after a residence of
three years returned to Petaluma. In 1865 he accepted the position of clerk in
the dry goods establishment of Kessing & Tupper, at Santa Rosa, and remained in
their employ for two years and nine months, at the expiration of which time he
returned to Petaluma, where he was employed by E. Newburgh & Co. as clerk, which
position he held for six years and three months. In February, 1876, he embarked
in the grocery trade, which he continued until May, 1879, when he disposed of
the business to Messrs. Veale & Roache. He then proceeded to Salinas, Monterey
county, and engaged in the grocery business for a short space of two months,
thence to San Francisco, prosecuted same business, and the same length of time
that he did in Salinas. September 1, 1879, we again find Mr. Carothers a
resident of Petaluma, where he opened up his present business, that of
conducting the "Bonanza Bazaar." He married Miss Louisa P. Eagan, October 17,
1870, born in San Francisco, February 11, 1854. Henry W., born July 21, 1871;
Bertha, born December 23, 1872, are their children.
