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.

Mr. J. P. Wright was the first settler of the town site, which dates from the advent of the railroad in 1872. It has enjoyed a steady growth until it is now an important trading center, and on of the shipping points for the northern portion of the State. The trade of Anderson extends to Modoc and Lassen Counties, and Lake County, Oregon, which traffic is encouraged by a good system of roads. The above counties are more convenient to Anderson than to any other town on the railroad. Stages and freight teams run daily. The principal industries of this locality are farming, stockraising and lumbering. There are six saw mills (one bveing a planing mill, sawmill and sash and door factory combined) within a radius of thirty miles of Anderson. Several of them are of large capacity; two of them are run by steam power and four by water. The town possesses a weekly newspaper, edited by Mr. J. E. McGarrey, which enjoys a large circulation in the surropunding country; a flouring mill of fifty barrels per day capacity, and many important business houses. At present writing a large and handsome brick school house is nearing completion. It is intended to accommodate 250 children. Its cost will be about $10,000.
