That may have been before his time there but if not he knew and knows everyone in town and can also ask around with the old timers. I was raised in orick and it is very small. By the 1960's, the logging was going down the tubes. It is now included in the Redwood National Forest. the town is kinda dumpuy but the scenery around it is spectacular. I miss it still. I was there from 1939 until 1950. My Dad was postmaster but was retired by 1960's. (Too bad he would have known for sure) You don't mention an age. you might have someone check a highschool year book wherever they went ot highschool then as there was not one in Orick. You might try the Humboldt County Library fin Eurkea for an old telephone directory for Orick on the dates in question. Good luck. Hleen Mc

Linda: I live in Eureka and years ago my sister bought a rental in an estate sale that had been owned by a Johnnie Johnson. Many of his belongings were still in the house. I recently found some of the correspondence which indicates he was born in Sweden, but went to Norway. The names were Captain J.A. Johnson (b. 1847) his children Adolph and Stellie. He was a captain on Humboldt Bay for many years. Another reference indicates the wife's name as Emma Sophia Johnson; daughters Mrs. A. Gustafson of Berkeley; Mrs. Ray Adsit of Crescent City; Mrs. H.R. Roth of Huntington Beach; and son Adolph Johnson of Eureka. Any of these names look like yours????

Does any one know more about Mr. Comstock. My daughter-in-law's great grandmother was Laura Comstock Keith Sobranes. She was born in 1886 in Missouri and died in Eureka in 1955. I am wondering if there is a connection. Laura's mother's maiden name was Webb. Thanks Verna Reed

>From The Humboldt Times, Saturday, Jan 10, 1874, Eureka, California. DEATH OF WM. CDINGTON, ESQ. We received the following dispatch last evening: Arcata, Jan. 5th, 1874 To. J. E. WYMAN, Our Mutual Friend, Wm. Codington, died suddenly last night of congestion of the brain. His funeral takes place next Wednesday. A. BRIZARD The sad intelligence conveyed in the above announcement caused heart felt sorrow to the very many old and warm friends in Arcata and Eureka, as it must have every where else where he was known. His death occured, as will be seen from the dispatch, on Sunday night, January 4th. Mr. Codington was one of the earliest settlers on Humboldt Bay. He commenced business at Uniontown, since Arcata* with J. S. Bowles, deceased, some years since, under the firm name of Bowles & Codington, in 1850. He was born in Westchester county, New York, and came to California via Cape Horn, in 1849. The deceased possessed many excellent traits of character. He was a business man in every sense of the term, and though shrewd in his dealings, and possessing a remarkably sound judgment, he carried into all his transactions the highest sense of honor and integrity, thereby winning the confidence and esteem of the entire business community. Aside from this he was a social, genial gentleman, warm ! and firm in his friendships and universally respected by all who knew him. He is supposed to have left a large fortune, which no doubgt he has distributed by his will, to his brothers and sisers residing in the East. *meaning that Uniontown's name had been changed to Arcata. ACCIDENT. Quite a serious accident occurred at Vance's Mill yesterday. Hugh MAXWELL while cutting into a piece of timber, struck his axe against a knot, which caused it to glance downward, striking and passing through his boot and inflicting a severe wound on the great toe-joint. Dr. SCHENCK was summoned immediately and dressed the wound. GRADUATED. We notice among the list of graduates from Heald's Business College, San Francisco, the name of Edward EVERDING, son of Chas. Everding, of the firm of H. H. Buhne & Co., of this place. The class numbered twenty-one. To obtain a business education there is probably no insitutution in the State superior to Heald's Business College; a diploma from it in the hands of a young man is a recommendation worth possessing. We congratulate our young friend on his succcess.

He was a carriage maker (1881 census) and went to California between 1881-1891. In 1902 he was living in Eureka, CA according to his brother's will.

City directories etc. I researched the 1920 Census data for Humboldt but did not see him. I don't have acess to 1890-1900-1910 Tony Calhoun Ojai CA
