HISTORY OF SACRAMENTO COUNTY.

in Mexican sheep, but did not keep them long. The largest band was 5,000 in number. But his land is now too valuable for sheep-raising. Mr. Cantrell has been prominently a frontiers- man. When he first came here wild game was plentiful,-antelope and deer could often be seen. He is a member of the Methodist Church, although brought up a Presbyterian. In his political principles he is a Democrat. He is now about seventy years of age, but he can mount a horse and ride off apparently as actively as ever. His home is a beautiful one, located among the native trees on the Cosumnes River. He was married in Jackson County, Missouri, January 11, 1844, to Miss Hannah Urby, a native of Greene County, Tennessee. She died May 27, 1888. and her loss is so greatly mourned by her husband that he could not remain on the old place, but made frequent trips to San Fran- cisco and Sacramento. Of his six children, four are living: Lutetia, born September 4, 1845, and is now the wife of Nathan Lipscomb; Ann E., born November 2, 1847, married Fred Frothingham, and died March 4, 18 -; Sarah E., born April 7, 1849; Mary, born May 20, 1851, is now the wife of Philip Oppenheim; Henly C., born January, 1855; and Addie E., born December, 1859, died Angust 14, 1867, at the ago of seven years, eight months and one day.

OHN H. CARROLL was born in Lynn, Massachusetts, November 17, 1825. Ilis parents, John and Susan (Graminer) Car- roll, were also natives of Massachusetts, and of New England ancestry. They moved to Wo- burn, in that State, where his father continued in the shoe trade, which was the business of his life, residing there for forty years. His parents came to California in 1870, celebrated their golden wedding here and remained during the remainder of their life-time in Sacramento. Mr. Carroll, when a youth, was duly apprenticed to the shoe trade, and in time moved to Albany, 51

New York, where he had an extensive patronage. On the 25th of January, 1849, he started for California, by way of Cape Ilorn, and arrived in San Francisco on July 6th of the same year. For a time he mined in El Dorado, Placer and Nevada counties. Coming then to Sacramento, he entered the grocery business on J street, be- tween Second and Third, the firm being Carroll, Scudder & Co. for some years. Afterward he engaged in the wheat and milling business in the Bay State Mills at Folsom, one of the earliest and largest flour mills in the State, the firm being Carroll, Mowe & Co., which continued until 1865, when the mill burned; but they went on with the wheat trade for some years longer, when Mr. Mowe died. Then Mr. Carroll bought the Pioneer Mills in Sacramento, and conducted them for a number of years, un- der the firm name of J. H. Carroll & Co. He subsequently admitted H. G. Smith as partner, when the firm name was changed to Carroll, Smith & Co. Several years afterward Mr. Car- roll withdrew, and became interested in tlie manufacture of California wines and brandies, being at the same time a member of the firm of James I. Felter & Co. Ile organized and owned the United States Special Bonded Ware- house No. 1. He succeeded Governor Stanford and Edgar Mills as President of the Pacific Mutual Life Insurance Company. In 1882 he established the Capital Packing Company, one of the largest fruit canneries on the coast, with which he was identified until the time of his death, Thanksgiving Day, November 24, 1887. He was married in New York city in 1854 to Miss Hester H. Winans, a native of that city and daughter of William W. Winans, who died in Jannary, 1889, in his ninety-eighth year. Of Mr. Carroll's six children, five are living, namely: Harry W., Edgar B., Flora H., Minnie l'. and Leila W., a daughter, Katie W., having been lost in childhood. Mr. Carroll was a mem- ber of the Society of California Pioneers, and in 1861-'62 was president; was also an Exempt Fireman, and for years a director of the State Agricultural Society. In religion he was an

active member of St. Paul's Episcopal Church; in politics Republican; was one of the trustees of the Marguerite Home; member of the Sani- tary Commission during the war; member of the original Sacramento Light Artillery Com- pany, and formerly of the Hook and Ladder Company, of Sacramento. He was public- spirited, charitable and enterprising, and his name and influence were a material factor in the history and prosperity of Sacramento.

ARRY W. CARROLL was born in Sacra- mento city September 4, 1858. In 1865 he entered the Union Free School, went through the intermediate grades, thence through the Franklin Grammar School; spent two years at the St. Augustine Military Academy at Benicia, in 1873 -'75, after which he entered the department of civil engineering (afterward changing to the department of mining) at the University of California, where he graduated with the degree of Ph. B. in 1880. He began mining in Nevada County, under ground, at the Diamond Creek mine; subsequently took charge of the Bugbey Rancho in El Dorado County, transferred his services to the Vina ranch in Tehama County, making special investigation in vitienlture on both ranchies, resulting in his becoming a member of the firm of H. W. Car- roll & Co., at Florin, Sacramento County, in the manufacture of wines and brandies nntil the destruction of the cellar and distillery by fire in 1884; thence until 1887 he was interested in box-making and in the canning business. In November, 1886, he was elected Representative to the State Assembly on the Republican ticket, and served during 1887-'88; was Chairman of the Committeeon Public Buildings and Grounds, and member of the Committees on Municipal Corporations, Education and Military Affairs. At the close of the session he resumed his busi- ness connections. He is Past Master of Con- cord Lodge, No. 117, F. & A. M., and member of Sacramento Chapter, No. 3, R.A. M .; Sacra-

mento Council, No. 1, R. & S. M., and Sacra- mento Commandery, No. 2, K. T. In 1880, at the commencement of Governor Perkins' ad- ministration, he was appointed Engineer Officer of the Fourth Brigade N. G. C. on the staff of Brigadier General John F. Sheehan, with the rank of Major, which office he held for a year and a half. Next he was Brigade Inspector, with the same rank on the staff of Brigadier General Tozer until 1883; was then com- missioned Lieutenant-Colonel and Aid-de-Camp on the staff of Governor Stoneman, Commander- in-Chief, and in 1887 was recommissioned by Governor Bartlett, holding the same position and rank until the Governor's death. His com- mission continned in force after the inauguration of Governor Waterman, during whose adminis- tration he was placed on the retired list N. G. C. Mr. Carroll is an ardent Republican, and thoroughly identified with Sacramento, its wel- fare and prosperity.

plo HARLES W. ZIMMERMAN, chief engi- neer of the steamer San Joaquin No. 4, was born in Ross County, Ohio, Novem- ber 10, 1835, and was the son of Aaron and Jane (Noble) Zimmerman. His mother was a daugh- ter of George Noble, who was a native of Ken- tncky, and at the age of eighteen years settled upon a piece of timber land in Ohio. In his family were eleven sons and eleven daughters. Aaron Zimmerman removed with his family to Iowa in 1845, and at the age of thirteen years Charles started ont for himself. Going to Pe- oria County, Illinois, he worked on a farm there until 1863, when, in company with two friends, -Charles Boyle and John Mooney,-he went to New York, and March 11 set sail on the North- ern Light for the land of golden promise; from the Isthmus he came on the Golden Age, Cap- tain Hudson, and on the 6th of April steamed through the Golden Gate. The next day he landed here in Sacramento, joining his two nn- cles, Jesse and Andrew Zimmerman, the former

the Captain of the Chindewan, and the latter the engineer, plying between this city and San Francisco. July 5, 1863, he began as fireman on the steamer Defiance from Sacramento to Colusa, continuing three years; then in the same capacity he went np on the snag-boat Rainbow, belonging to the California Steam Navigation Company, Captain Woodruff; then he was on the steamer Governor Dana, which made daily trips to Marysville, under Captain Brewing ton. Eighteen months afterward he went on the Goodman Castle, of which his uncle, Jesse Zimmerman, was the captain, and then on the Banner, and next on the Gem, running to Chico, Tehama and Red Bluff, and then on the Dover, Captain Roger Strickland. In 1871 he went to work in the railroad shop; and seven and a half months afterward he returned to the river, going upon the Chindewan, which was in the grain trade, and then he was employed again npon the Dover. March 31, 1874, he was engaged by the Sacramento Transportation Company, as engineer on the steamner Verona, in which po- sition he continued three years. The San Joa- quin No. 3 being then complete, he took charge of her as chief engineer; and in January, 1888, he took charge of the San Joaquin No. 4, which position he now holds. He was married in 1870 to Catherine Hoselton, of Ohio, an old schoolmate, and they have two children,-Fairie May and George. They have a comfortable and happy home on K street, near Sixteenth.

HRIS. M. ZEH, deceased, was born in 1852, in January, a son of Godfrey J. Zeh, and emigrated to America in 1857. After a six-months sojourn in New York city, he sailed, in 1858, from that port to California, by way of the Isthmus, and landed in Sacramento after a voyage of thirty-two days. He purchased from the Government a quarter-section of good land, fifteen miles northeast of Sacramento; after that he bought more, until he reached a total of 720 acres. All the improvements upon this land he

himself made. He died January 10, 1879, leaving a wife and seven children. He was mar- ried in 1847 to Miss Johanna Rolling, in Ger- many. Their children, eight in number, are, Fred; Anna, wife of William Lewis, deceased; Chris .; Lonisa, wife of Charles -; Charles L .; Edward A., deceased; Godfrey N. and Jo- hanna R. Four of these are natives of Cali- fornia. The farm, which is devoted to hay, grain, etc., is finely improved and well stocked with suitable buildings. This family are ener- getic and industrious, and are such citizens as go to make a strong State.

EOPOLD ZOLLER .- Among the old-time residents and active men of Sacramento is Mr. Zoller, a native of Baden, now in the Empire of Germany. He was born July 14, 1831, and his boyhood days were spent in his native land. In 1849, in company with his brother, he came to the United States, landing at New York after a voyage of thirty-four days. After a short visit to St. Louis, Missouri, he embarked on the steamer Golden Age from New York city and came by the Isthinus of Panama to this State. His first job was in the butcher business for Frank Keller in this city; but he soon went to the diggings at Comptonville. In October he returned to this city and resumed his old position until March 28, 1858, on which day he was married; then, until October 28 following he was again at Comptonville. Re- turning to this eity again he entered into busi- ness for himself, on the northeast corner of Eighth and M streets; but he afterward changed to the southwest corner, which he has improved in a handsome and substantial manner. IIis inarket has become one of the land-marks of that portion of the city. He has been success- ful in accumulating a fair share of this world's goods, and is interested in the growth of Sacra- mento, being proud to see it advance from a miners' town of canvas and cheap boards to the beautiful and substantial city it now is. Mrs.

Zoller's maiden name was Josephine Neidecker. She was a native of Germany, and was but two years of age when she was brought by her par- ents to this country. Mr. and Mrs. Zoller have six children, namely: Charles, William, Henry, Leopold, Amelia and Minna.

HRISTIAN ZIMMERMAN, deceased, for- merly a grocer at Twelfth and E streets, Sacramento, was born in the canton of Berne, Switzerland, near the French boundary line, July 5, 1834, a son of Jolin and Elizabeth (Bartche) Zimmerman. While he was yet a babe his parents emigrated with him to Amer- ica, settling in what is now called Highland, Madison County, Illinois, abont thirty miles from St. Louis, Missouri. The first immigrants at that point being from Switzerland, it was named New Helvetia, from the ancient Latin name of Switzerland. This family was a pio- neer honsehold there. Mr. Zimmerman kept a hotel there known by his name, and he resided there until his death, from Asiatic cholera, August 6, 1849. Young Christian continued in charge of the hotel, keeping the family together two years longer. At length his mother married again and the children naturally were scattered. He went to the residence of John Mot- tel, of whom he learned the blacksmith's trade. At the age of nineteen years he came across the plains, with Jerry Decker, in a train, working his way and receiving $50 in cash upon his ar- rival at Donner Lake, where the party stopped. He soon secured a claim, which he named the Town Talk Mines, and engaged in mining. Then, atter a short residence in Virginia City, he came to Sacramento, and during 1861-'62 he followed farming. After the disastrous floods of the latter year, he was employed by William Pritchard in Idaho for fifteen years, and then in Nevada for a time, where he was Mr. Pritchard's trusted foreman on a railroad contract. May 7, 1875, is the date of Mr. Zim- merman's marriage to Miss Annie Krebs. In

August following he, in partnership with Mr. Pritchard, engaged in a carriage factory in Sac- ramento, at the corner of Eighth and K streets. Within three years he was "dead broke," and for six months he was ont of employment. He then raised $600 on a life insurance policy, upon which he kept his family until he could obtain a start again in business. Borrowing $1,500 of Wendall Kerth, Fred Stoffer becoming his security, and borrowing also from Jacob Meister withont security, he built and stocked a store at the corner of Twelfth and E streets, in March, 1879, naming it the Town Talk Grocery. Here, within two years he bought the property and in four years had it all free from incumbrance. He had good health until abont seven months prior to his death, which occurred March 9, 1889. He was a man of sterling integrity, who never forgot his promises or his friends. He was prominent in several fraternal organizations, as Eureka Lodge, No. 4, I. O. O. F .; Elko (Nevada) Lodge, No. 5, F. & A. M .; Sacramento Lodge, No. 40. F. & A. M .; Chapter No. 3, Council No. 1, Commandery No. 2 and Thirty-second degree of Scottish Rite Masonry.

HARLES ZIMMERMAN, proprietor of the New Western Hotel, etc., Folsom, was born in Germany, August 14, 1842. From 1859 to 1866 he worked at the shoemaker's trade, and then sailed from Havre and landed in New York April 16. Remained in that city until 1869 when he went to Greenport, Long Island, where he was employed in a shoe store a year and four months. Returning to Brook- lyn, New York, he started a shoe shop on the corner of Fulton and Adelphia streets, and ran it until 1872. In August of this year he came to San Francisco, where he engaged in his trade five weeks; then he and another gentleman came to Folsom, rented a place of Dr. Bates for three years, opened out in business, and at the expiration of the term of the lease Mr. Zim- merman bought the property, which is on the

805

HISTORY OF SACRAMENTO COUNTY.

corner of Sntter and Wool streets; it has ninety- five feet frontage. At the time of the purchase this property had two buildings upon it, and he paid for it $2,100. He started a hotel in one building and carried on his shop in the other. IIe borrowed the money with which to pay for the place, and paid all his indebtedness at the end of four years, from the proceeds of his carefully managed business. He improved the property to the extent of $800; but August 13, 1886, the great fire burned him out, along with a large portion of the business section of the city. He was insured for $2,800, with which he immediately rebuilt, at a cost of $7,000, and now the city of Folsom is graced with the New Western Hotel, one of the leading hotels in the county and one that would be a credit to any city. The dimensions of the main building are 40 x 60 feet, and two and three-fourths stories high. On one side of the main building is the saloon, on the corner, and on the other side are two stores, occupied as a butcher shop and a shoe shop, each one story high. Com- mencing here without anything, Mr. Zimmer- man has proved himself to be a successful business man. He was the first to open a first- class $1 a day honse in Folsom, while in the saloon business he was the first to put the price of beer down to five cents a glass. In this he has made many friends, who appreciate what he has done for the good of the place. He was married October 21, 1882, to Mrs. Katerina Myer, a native of Germany, and at that time a

widow with three children: August, Lonisa and Emma; and by the present marriage there is one daughter, Barda by name.

M. HUBBARD, father of Mrs. Upson, was a native of Middleton, Connecticut, and was the son of a sea-captain and ship- owner. He was married to Miss Sarah Buek- ley Wilcox, a native of Utica. In 1850 he came to California, and soon became prominent through his great business abilities. He was an early Wells-Fargo representative, and built the first telegraph across the continent. In connection with his father, he built the first railroad bridge across the American River. He had charge of the right of way business for the Southern Pacific Railroad at the time of his death. He was on his way to Merced to sell the town site when a fall occurred, and he was seriously injured. He was brought back to Sacramento on Friday, and on the following Sunday, which was February 11, 1871, he died. He was one of the most pushing, energetic men that have figured in the history of Sacramento. He was one of the early chief engineers of the fire department, and during flood times took charge of the work of pumping out the city. He owned the homestead where Mr. Upson and family now reside, and commenced its improve- inent in 1856.

ADDENDA.

CHAP. II .- During the year 1889 a move- ment was inaugurated by the Native Sons of the Golden West to preserve what remains of Sut- ter's Fort, and also restore the original. The site of the fort has been secured, and Colonel C. F. Crocker has addressed a letter to the mayor of Sacramento (who is also a Native Son), offering a guaranty of all the means that may be necessary, after all is collected that other- wise can be, to complete the work. There is no doubt that this most interesting historical land-mark should be preserved.

CHAP. VI .- General A. M. Winn arrived in Sacramento in 1849. He was born in Pennsyl- vania, April 12, 1810. Arriving at a mature age, he went to Zanesville, Ohio, where he was married. About 1834 he moved with his fall- ily to Vicksburg, Mississippi. His family came to Sacramento in 1850. By his first wife he had three daughters and one son. Two of the daughters-Mrs. E. F. Gillespie and Mrs. Emily Hersberger -are dead. General Winn was chosen councilman at the first city election in Sacramento, in July, 1849, and soon afterward mayor. Being a military man, he was ap- pointed Brigadier General in California, and was placed in command of the militia to quell the Squatter riots. He presided at the first meeting of Odd Fellows in Sacramento, which was called to meet at his office, where the Record-Union building now stands, and was elected president of the Odd Fellows' Associa- tion. In 1855 he was president of the Anti- Know-Nothing Club. In company with others he purchased a large tract of land north of the American River, and also another sonth of the city, embracing what afterward became the site

of Sutterville, but afterward disposed of his in- terest in these lands. About 1860 he removed to San Francisco, and subsequently to Sonoma County, where he died, Angust 26, 1883. It was while he was in San Francisco that, as he was conducting a public procession, the idea entered his mind to have processions also of native sons of the Golden State, and this led to his establishment of the present vigorous order, the " Native Sons of the Golden West." He had lost his first wife in 1862, and in Septem- ber, 1865, he married the widow of James King of William, who had been killed during the reign of the San Francisco Vigilantes, in 1856.

CHAP. VIII .- Dr. A. B. Nixon, State Sena- tor in 1862-'63 (page 45), died at Sacramento, November 2, 1889.

William B. Hunt, Assemblyman in 1863-'64 (page 49), died in San Francisco, November 13, 1889.

J. R. Watson, Assemblyman at the same time, died at Sacramento, September 11, 1889.

L. H. Fassett (see sketch page 675).

CHAP. 1X .- Henry Meredith was born in Virginia, August 14, 1826; graduated at Mis- sonri State University at Columbia; returned to Virginia, studied law, and in the spring of 1850 came across the plains to California. Be- ing seized with cholera on the route, he saved himself by his own heroic efforts. After his arrival here he followed mining for awhile with snecess. In 1853 or 1854 he commenced prac- ticing law in Nevada, and rapidly rose to the front rank of his profession ; was posted specially in mining and mining laws, and therefore ex- celled in prosecuting mining cases. He was a

807

gentleman of many noble qualities, exempt from the common vices, intellectual, active, industri- ous, honest, etc.

John C. Burch (page 56), a native of Mis- sonri, was appointed, in 1848, private secretary to Governor Edwards, of that State. Two years later he arrived in California, settling in Trinity County, where he practiced law and engaged in politics. He was District Attorney, Assembly- man and Senator, and in September, 1859, with Charles L. Scott, was elected to Congress on the Democratic ticket. During the war he was in favor of the "Republic of the Pacific," and thereby obtained the name of "Cactus." Later he served as one of the commissioners to codify the laws of this State, and afterward practiced law in San Francisco until his deatlı, August 31, 1885.

Horace Smith was shot by Captain Johnson, in the fall of 1863, and died December 6 fol- lowing. The members of the bar in Virginia passed resolutions of regard, and Tod Robinson delivered a eulogy. He was buried in Lone Mountain Cemetery.

CHAP. X .- Drager and Olsen (page 71) were executed at Placerville, October 16, 1889.

CHAP. XIII .-- James McClatchy (page 87) was indirectly instrumental in saving California from the vortex of the Rebellion. The unex- pected arrival of Edwin V. Sumner to relieve Albert Sidney Johnston, and the exposure of their plot to McClatchy, were reported By the latter to Abraham Lincoln, and thus led to a thwarting of the schemes of the rebels.

Ferdinand C. Ewer (referred to on page 81) was born in Nantucket, Massachusetts, May 22, 1826; graduated at Harvard in 1848; arrived in California in September, 1849; engaged in journalism and literary pursuits, and had a position in the custom-house when Latham was Collector of the port of San Francisco. One of Ewer's literary speculations was the publication of the Pioneer, a magazine. Althoughi an un- believer in spiritualism, he published an article on psychic force which deceived even spiritual- ists into the belief that he also was a spiritual-

ist. He afterward took orders in the Protestant Episcopal Church, and went to New York, where he was rector of St. Ignatins' Church. He had a sweet voice, ready utterance, and an aggress- ive manner. In his ecclesiastical views he ulti- mately became "High Church." He died in Montreal, October 10, 1883, leaving a widow in San Francisco.

CHAP. XIV .- The City Board of Education for 1890 consists of W. HI. Sherburn, A. J. Senatz, Jerry Payne, Joseph Hopley, Richinond Davis, A. C. Tufts, H. C. Chipman and O. W. Erlewine.

Albert Hart was elected Superintendent of the City Schools, December 2, 1889, to succeed M. R. Beard, named on page 160.

James Queen, a native of Philadelphia, came around Cape Horn to California, arriving April 5, 1847. Clerked in the law office of Winans & Hyer in Sacramento for a number of years, but several years prior to his death he took up his residence in San Francisco. In 1853, in partnership with Mr. Pettit, he established the first brick-yard at Sutterville. At one time he was a councilman of Sacramento. In 1859-'60 he was president of the Pioneer Association; was also an active member of the Sutter Rifles, and was a man of energy and business capacity. He died at Napa, December 7, 1879, at the age of sixty-eight years.

CHAP. XIX .- National Bank of D. O. Mills & Co .- Among those who came to California in 1849 were three brothers: James Mills, D.O. Mills and Edgar Mills, natives of New York State. James Mills died soon after his arrival here. D. O. Mills, having had some banking experience in Western New York, began gen- eral merchandising here, in connection with his brother, W. O. Mills, who remained in New York city, engaged in the same line; but very soon lie turned his attention to banking, and a record of many of his early transactions is still to be seen in the old books at the bank. These original entries show that the transition from inerchandising to banking took place as early

808

HISTORY OF SACRAMENTO COUNTY.

as 1849, although banking proper was not fully and formally established until early in 1850. There is still preserved in the office also a bill of exchange, the "third," dated January 13, 1851, and signed "D. O. Mills & Co.," being one of a set of three bills on New York city sold to a customer, and written by Mr. Mills' own hand; and probably the rate was three to five per cent., as was customary in those days.

Another interesting relic in the bank is the old clock which Mr. Mills set up originally here, and which, though it has passed through one of the great conflagrations of the city, still bears upon its face the magic date, "1850." It will therefore be seen that this bank is the oldest institution of the kind in the State of California.

The bank building was first located upon the south side of J street, between Second and Third, about sixty feet from the corner of Third. It was a small, one-story frame structure with a stone front; and a picture of this front was for a long time used upon the checks of the bank, - in fact as late as 1865. in which year the in- stitution was removed to its present location, the southeast corner of J and Second streets.

The early business of the bank consisted largely in selling exchange on New York and buying gold dust. The deposits were not large

as compared with those in the Express and other companies; but one after another of those failed, and their business naturally fell to this bank, according to the law of the "survival of the fittest."

In 1855 the firmn consisted of D. O. Mills, under the title of "D. O. Mills & Co." That year there were admitted to the firm as equal partners, Edgar Mills and Henry Miller. This relation continned until July 19, 1872, when the company was incorporated under the title of the " National Gold Bank of D. O. Mills & Co.' In September, 1883, by a general law of Con- gress, the word "Gold" was dropped. The present proprietorship is essentially the same as in 1855. The stockholders and officers are:

Shares.

D. O. Mills 1,538

Edgar Mills, President .. . 1,538

S. Prentiss Smith, Vice-President 250

Frank Miller. Cashier. 351

Charles F. Dillman, Assistant Cashier 125

Other persons own. 1,198

Capital and surplus, $600,000. In the bank there is also a chrome steel safe deposit vault, with a time lock. D. O. Mills resides in New York city.

The California State Bank, northwest corner of Fourth and J; the People's Bank, on the opposite corner, and the Sacramento Bank, Fifth and J, are all doing a good business.
