            William A. Sehorn, a resident of Willows, is a native of old 
Virginia, born September 1, 1855.  At the age of seventeen years he chose 
dentistry as his profession and went to Knoxville, Tennessee, to take a course 
of study therein.  In December, 1875, he came to California to practice his 
profession.  For a time he lived in Red Bluff, but later moved to Colusa County. 
 In 1886 he took up his residence in Willows.  In May, 1889, he leased the 
Willows �Journal,� which paper he conducted in addition to his professional 
work, editing it in an able manner, until September 1, 1890.  He enjoys domestic 
life in his comfortable residence, on the outskirts of Willows, with his 
accomplished wife, to whom he was married February 1, 1881, at Oroville.  He has 
one son.  Dr. Sehorn takes an active interest in politics, is a Democrat, and 
holds an appointment as Deputy Sheriff.  He is one of the positive men in the 
assertion of a principle, in championing a cause, or in his adherence to 
friends, and is personally most companionable.
