seven years of age his parents moved to St. Joseph, Missouri. Here he attended

parents erected the first lodging house ever built in that now thriving city.
Late in 1855 they returned to St. Joseph, Missouri. In October 1856 they
proceeded to Dallas, Texas, and in 1858 they emigrated to California; came
direct to this county, and settled in Petaluma, where he has since resided. In
