Hoadley, James F. A native of Windsor county, Vermont, born August 16,1831,
where he was educated, and resided until nineteen years of age, when he moved to
Erie county, Pennsylvania, and remained about two years. November 3, 1852, he
was married to Carrie C. Appleby, of Springfield, Erie county, Pennsylvania, and
moved to Jefferson county, Wisconsin, where he remained until the Spring of
1853. He then set out for California. Crossing the plains he arrived in Shasta
county, October 6th of the same year. Remaining here a short time, he settled in
the town of Lewiston, Trinity county, where he established a trading post, and
packed his goods from Shasta over Trinity mountain on mules until 1858, then he
closed that out and built a saw mill and carried on a small farm, and in the
Summer of 1865 helped to build a toll road from the Tower House in Shasta county
to Lewiston. After about two years he became the owner of the toll road and then
completed it to Weaverville in Trinity county. While here he held the office of
Supervisor two terms, and that of Justice of the Peace one term; was postmaster
four years. In the Fall of 1872, he sold out his interest here and came to this
county, settling in Cloverdale, where he formed a co-partnership with Isaac E.
Shaw in a general hardware and grocery store, which lasted until January 1875,
when he withdrew from the firm and made a trip to his native State, leaving June
13th and returning the following September. He then purchased the lumber yard of
Leander Shores, which business he has continued ever since. In 1876 he built the
Centennial warehouse at Cloverdale, since which time he has added and carried on
a forwarding and commission business. Elias A., Harriet M., James F., Ida L. and
George H. are the names of their children.
