Hi, This is part of Tehama Co., CA taken from the 1885 county directory. Sorry but I have no additional information on these. Only thing is says for sure is if your Ancestor was here in 1885. If there is no occupation it is because none was listed.

Its location is particularly pleasant, the plain surrounding it to the north, west and south, being dotted with oak groves of hardy growth. The California and Oregon Railroad, upon which the town is situated, crosses the river here, and the embankment made for its line along the river, serves the town as a levee against the high waters of flood times. The industries of the town and the interests of the surrounding country depend wholly upon farming and stockraising. The town is quite prosperous, and is making steady advances in growth equally with the continued development of the county. It possesses two large grain warehouses, and immediately opposite on the eastern shore of the River the North Star Flouring Mill, run by water from Mill Creek, a large establishment. It school and church privileges are ample, two public halls for general entertainments have been erected, and the hotel accommodations are fully up to the standard of the times. The town has post, express and telegraph offices, and a population of about four hundred and fifty. Ahrens, Frederick - bootmaker Barkley, James F. - meat market Barkley, Nathaniel - butcher with J.
