Hi, This is part of Shasta 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. for this county I can check census if you find a name.

From 1872 up to last year it was the northern terminus of the line, and under the stimulus given by this fact, as well as the favorable agricultural character of the surrounding country, Redding advanced rapidly into importance as a shipping point. The cessation of railroad construction for so long a period at this point naturally resulted in the building of a series of roads radiating from it to all points in Northern and Northeastern California, the advantages so gained to the town will in a great measure remain, notwithstanding the railroad's further extension north. Freights for Weaverville, all points in Trinity, Modoc and the whole of northeastern Shasta will continue for years to come to make Redding their railroad point. The town has many flourishing business houses, including a bank, four good hotels, school and a commodious public hall. In its newspaper interests Redding is particularly well served, three weekly papers being published here, receiving a generous and hearty support from the people of Northern California. The town has complete postal, express and telegraphic communications. Population about seven hundred.
