Newburgh, Edward. A native of Bavaria, Germany, born November 24, 1827.
Emigrated to America in 1850 and settled in Concord, New Hampshire. On April 5,
1853, he took passage from New York City on the "Star of the West" for
California. Arriving at Nicaragua, he took the "Sierra Nevada " to San
Francisco, at which place he arrived on May 6th. He immediately proceeded to the
mines on the Yuba, but owing to ill health —having contracted the rheumatism—he
was obliged to abandon his pursuit for gold. He then came to this county,
locating in Green valley, and in company with Isaac Bernhard opened a general
merchandise store. In 1864 they came to Petaluma, and in 1868 dissolved
partnership, since which time Mr. Newburgh has been alone in the business. He
was one of the founders of the relief association of this place, and has also
been for years one of the directors of the Bank of Sonoma. He married, June 22,
1862, Miss Fanny Kusiel, a native of Wurtemburg, Germany. Albert, born April 20,
1863; Theresa, born April 9, 1866; Arthur, born June 26, 1869; Willie, born
September 28, 1870; Henry, born September 13, 1873; Estella, born April 54,
1876, are the names and births of their children.
