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.

Some farming and stockraising is carried on in the vicinity. Reed's toll road, an excellent highway extends from Round Mountain along Cow Creek, twelve and one quarter miles toward Redding, Millville and Anderson. The distance is ten miles less to Redding over this road than by any other route. Campbell, J. B. - farmer 160 acres Coffer, N.

It is seven miles distant from Redding, which is the present shipping point, although the railroad approaches within about two miles farther north, and arrangements are in progress for a more immediate connection. The road from Redding, as well as beyond Shasta, is an excellent turnpike, with easy grades. The town is prettily laid, and lying as it does in the foothills of the mountains surrounding the Sacramento Valley at an altitude of 1160 feet, above the sea, is as attractive a town as can be found in the mountains, and in a sanitary point of view is excelled by none. The place was settled in 1850, and was originally known as "Reading's Springs", being afterwards changed to Shasta in honor of the grand mountain peak which overlooks this entire region. The U. S. Land Office for northern California is located here. Shasta possesses full and complete telegraph, daily mail and express facilities. The Shasta Courier (weekly) is published here and ranks in age as the third weekly newspaper of the State. It has safely weathered the periods of depression under which the county has heretofore suffered, at times, until now partaking of the renewed prosperity which has been assuredly accruing of late years, it has become a flourishing and well sustained sheet. The principal public and larger buildings are comprised in the Court House, two churches, two hotels, and the halls of the Masons and Odd Fellows.
