CLARENCE W. BUSH, one of the most prominent business men of Woodland, and at
present cashier and manager of the Bank of Yolo, has been in the banking
business for twenty-five years. He was born August 28, 1848, in Copiah County,
Mississippi, a son of J. P. Bush, one of the pioneers of that section and a
physician, but now deceased. Mr. Bush's mother's maiden name was Nancy Quick;
she was a native of Texas and died in 1854, when the subject of this sketch was
a small boy. When seven years of age he lived one winter in Michigan, then was
in New York State and Massachusetts, attending school up to his thirteenth year,
principally at Great Barrington. Then until the age of sixteen years he was
clerk in a country store in Central New York. He then entered the banking
business, first taking a position in the First National Bank of Candor, Tioga
County, New York, upon the organization of that institution, and he was elected
assistant cashier before he left it. In the spring of 1868 he came to California
and remained in San Francisco until the organization of the Bank of Woodland,
when he was elected cashier, which position he sustained for thirteen years;
then, upon the organization of the Bank of Yolo, he was elected to his present
position, and it is by his effort and influence that this institution has been
brought up to the high standing which it now enjoys. Mr. Bush is a member of the
A. O. U. W. and of the Protestant Episcopal Church. He was married October 16,
1872, to Miss Lucy, daughter of Camillus Nelson, an old resident and prominent
citizen of Yolo County, and they have two children,— Camillus and Florence.
