FAUSTINO CAMPA
 
            For the past six years Faustino Campa has been occupied as 
road-master of the Brownsville district of Yuba County.  He was born in Texas on 
February 15, 1847, a son of Casmiro and Frances (Castillio) Campa, natives of 
Spain and Mexico, respectively.  Casmiro Campa died in 1857, and Mrs. Campa was 
subsequently married to William Elliott.  The family removed to Yuba County in 
1868, where William Elliott engaged in placer and quartz mining until his death 
in 1882; the mother passed away at the family home in Brownsville in 1880.
            Faustino Campa was reared in the mining district of Brownsville, and 
the greater part of his life has been spent in mining and at his trade as stone 
mason.  Six years ago he took charge of the road work near his home place at 
Brownsville.  Mr. Campa has always been a liberal contributor to all worthy 
causes.  In politics he is a Democrat.  He is a member of the Owl Club of 
Challenge.
