He was born in Gaollheim, Bavaria, September 14, 1829. He came to the United 
States in 1838, with his grandparents, and to California in 1855, having spent 
the intervening time in New York. Upon his arrival in this state he commenced 
mining, which he continued for two years, when he engaged in cooking until 1861. 
Upon the first call for army volunteers, he enlisted in the first California 
regiment, and served three years in Arizona and New Mexico. In 1870 he entered 
the kitchen department of the Plumas House, Quincy, in which he has since been 
engaged. He is a member of the Masonic blue lodge and chapter, and of the Odd 
Fellows.
