Gum, Isaac. Born in Henry county, Indiana, February 23, 1835. When about five
years of age, he with his parents moved to Boone county, Illinois, where he
resided until 1854, when he emigrated to California, crossing the plains with ox
teams, and arrived in this county September 27th of the same year. After farming
on Dry creek for six years, he went to Virginia City and followed teaming for
one Summer, after which he speculated in mines until 1865, when he returned to
this county and farmed until 1870. He then moved into Healdsburg, where he has
resided ever since. Mr. Gum is largely interested in the Great Eastern
quicksilver mine of this county. Married Miss Clara Zane, December 14, 1865.
Willie, Schuyler C, John T, and Nellie, deceased, are the names of their children.
