Grand Island, Colusa county; lives about six miles north of Kirksville; owns 526 acres; was born in Ohio, December 12, 1833; lived in that state until 1851. In that year he started for California by way of the Isthmus, but did not arrive in San Francisco until May, 1852. He started from New York in a steamer. At Panama he took passage in a sailing vessel for San Francisco; when 84 days out the vessel was wrecked about 400 miles from Acapulco. Out of 160 passengers who started from Panama, only about 80 arrived in San Francisco; the others died on the way, from fever and other sickness; the passengers were put on short allowance of water for about three weeks; only half a pint to a person was allowed. After being shipwrecked at the point spoken of, he started on foot through Mexico, he traveled several weeks in this way before reaching Acapulco; he was there only two days when he took passage on the steamer "Golden Gate", and arrived in San Francisco seven days afterward. He commenced mining at Coloma on the American river, about the first on June. He was thus occupied in various parts of the state until 1861. In that year he removed to Idaho, and engaged in mining, locating several placer mines; he remained there about one year, and returned to California in November, 1862. He lived in Auburn, Placer county, for a short time. He was here married, March 5, 1863, to Miss A. E. Ellet, who was born in Clarke county, Arkansas, 1843. About a month after marriage, he returned to Idaho and engaged in running a pack-train from Umatilla to Boise River mines. He sold out in 1864, and again returned to this State, locating where he now lives. A view of his place is given on another page. They have six children living, four sons and two daughters. Mr. W. has held the office of School Trustee for the last six years." Courtesy: History of Sutter County, California, Thompson & West, 1879.
