Hi, This is just the town of Adin, Modoc Co., CA 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. Modoc is 25 pages in my wordperfect so it will take a few posts to get it all. Janie http://www.freeyellow.com/members6/famos/cemetery.html MODOC CO. ADIN This town having post and express offices, is situated the east end of Big Valley, in the southwestern part of the county, forty miles southwest of Alturas, the county seat, and one hundred and twenty-four miles northeast of Redding, its nearest railroad connection. It is the business center for the trade of the northern end of the valley, or rather all that part that lies in Modoc, and is making permanent progress in the erection of substantial buildings. The principal interests are farming, dairying, and stockraising. The town boasts of one newspaper. The Adin Argus (weekly), a hotel, flouring mill, planing mill, livery stable, drug store, and several establishments of other characters, and in all of its aspects is as bright and enterprising a town as can be found in Northeastern California. Stage connections are had daily with Alturas and Redding. The flouring mill here, built at a cost of $8000, is run by water power, and has a capacity of forty barrels per day. It manufactures a superior quality of flour, feed, etc. The planing mill, also on water power, has improved machinery and manufactures most of the doors, sashes, etc., used in the vicinity. --------- Abernethy, Paschal - laborer Adin Argus, The - proprietor S.
