dealer, in wood, coal, lumber and groceries, was born in the county of 
Fermanagh, in Ireland, in 1837, and arrived in the United States in 1853, first 
settling in the city of New York, where he remained some years, when he came to 
California, in 1857.  In 1861 he opened the Union Hotel in Vallejo, remaining 
its proprietor for ten years.  In 1874 his present business was established, and 
two years afterwards he first started in the lumber trade.  Mr. McCudden is one 
of Vallejo�s most honored citizens; his election to the Board of Supervisors in 
1877 proving the estimation in which he is held.
