Connecticut in 1833, and lived there until 1853; he learned the painter's trade 
there; came to this State in that year, and settled in this county; he followed 
mining a few months. He commenced in the same year, in Sacramento, the business 
of raising buildings, being the first to undertake the moving of brick 
buildings. In 1869 he moved to San Francisco, and was engaged in the same 
business there for two years; he then moved to Elk Grove, and, with the 
exception of a short time in the employ of Railroad, has been in the hotel 
business ever since.
