            J. W. Brim was born in Tennessee, in the year 1835.  He left 
Missouri for California on April 21, 1856, arriving at Oroville August 24.  He 
engaged in mining at White Rock and Oroville, on the Feather River, and was very 
successful in this work.  He came to Colusa County in 1856 and has since been 
occupied in stock-raising and farming.  His farm embraces four thousand acres, a 
part of which is on the plains at the foot of the hills, and the remainder in 
Bear Valley, three miles from Leesville.  It is on the latter portion of land 
that Mr. Brim resides.  His home is a large and elegant one.  In 1868 he married 
Miss Emily A. Smith, a native of Utah, and four children are the result of this 
union.  Mr. Brim is highly respected and his energy is of the perpetual-motion 
order.
