The first year of residence he spent in lumber camps of Humbolt County. In the spring of 1861 he came to Trinity County and for several years engaged in mining on Indian Creek. Afterwards he purchasd and moved to a farm on Brown's Creek where he resided until a year ago, when he moved to Weaverville where he has since made his home excepting a few weeks preceding his death. For some time he has not enjoyed good health, and two months ago he was taken to Coumbs Spring but the change instead of proving a benefit was the reverse and five weeks ago he was carried from the Springs to the residence of his nephew J.H. Coumbs where he receved all the love and attention that was possible to give, but the kind attention was unable to stay the hand of Death and he passed quietly away."
