NEVADA COUNTY MINING REVIEW City. He isa native of the county seat, at which place he was born in the year 1865. After graduating from the Nevada City high school he went to work for the firm of M. L. & D. Marsh, sawmill owners and dealers in lumber, and has been in their employ ever since, having fora number of years attended to the bookkeeping and general business of the firm. He is thoroughly familiar with every branch of the business, from the logging camp to the planing mill, and his knowledge of the same makes him specially adapted for the position he fills. Mr. Marsh isa good accountant, and in recognition of his excellent clerical qualifications the grand jury at one time appointed him to expert the books of the county officers, which duty he performed in a most satisfactory manner. In 1892 he was the Republican nominee for county clerk, and for the past vear has been chief engineer of the Nevada City fire department, his term expiring in August, 1895. Mr. Marsh isa member of the Masonic fraternity and is quite prominently identified with the Native Sons, an Order in which he has always shown much interest. In all transactions he is a straightforward man to deal with. ca Probably no young man in the county is more JAS, J. HANLEY highly respected than James J. Hanley, agent of the Union ice company at Nevada City. Although quite a young man he has held several important positions, and in all of them he has been faithful and efficient. He was born in Nevada City in 1870, and received his education in the public schools. When sixteen years of age he entered the employ of the Union ice company, and has remained with them since, faithfully performing every duty assigned him. He has always been active and enterprising, and is the assistant chief engineer of the fire department. Mr. Hanley is an honored member of the N. S. G. W., and is past president of Hydraulic Parlor. He is assistant secretary of the Republican county central committee, and during the campaign of 1894 acted as secretary of the Republican purity of elections committee of Nevada County. Cc Among the most highly respected and estimable citizens of Nevada City the name of Samuel Clutter is always mentioned. A man of most exemplary habits, of warm sympathies, and who is ever willing to extend the hand of charity to any deserving cause or wortby individual, he has won a reputation for honesty, probity and sobriety that no words of ours can add to, and of which he is in every way deserving. Born at Dayton, Ohio, in 1838, he passed through the schools of that City and then went to Cincinnati, where he learned the trade of carriage maker. He subsequently moved to Iowa, where he resided awhile, and later came to California, locating first at Marysville. He lived there a year and then came to Nevada City, in 1861, and started a shop near the gas works, moving S. CLUTTER 120 .. afterwards to the foot of Broad Street, near the bridge, where he remained for a number of years, when failing health compelled him to quit work for two or three years. He disposed of the Broad Street shop at that time, and after his health had improved sufficiently to permit him to resume work, he built his present shop, on the plaza. Mr. Clutter is a skilled workman, and during his long residence here has turned out the woodwork for scores of buggies, wagons and other vehicles. In social life he is a most affable gentleman, of high moral character. He was the originator of the Nevada City Benevolent Society, of which worthy organization he served as president for fifteen years. For a number of years he was a prominent member of different secret orders, and has always heen a strong advocate of temperance. He served as city trustee three years and was president of the board. He is the present city treasurer, to which office he has been elected six times. ca The subject of this sketch is one of the promising young business men of Nevada City, and if energy and industry are of much avail, he has before him a prosperous future. He possesses all the other requisites for a successful business man, while his many excellent qualities of heart and mind render him a pleasant companion, a warm friend and a good citizen. Born in Grass Valley, in 1874, he lived there until ten years of age, when he came with his parents to Nevada City, where he attended school several years, and then wentto work as aclerk in Jackson’s grocery store. He remained there three years, and about two years ago entered the employ of C. E. Mulloy, grocer, remaining there until July of the present year, when, together with Charles Cleveland, a fellow clerk, he decided to gointo business for himself. They purchased the grocery business formerly owned by Thomas Kidd, on Commercial Street, and we are pleased to know that the new firm is meeting with good success. Mr. Scadden is a prominent member of the fire department, being first assistant foreman of Pennsylvania Engine Company, No. 2, a position which he fills with much ability. He is a married man, having been united a few months since to one of Nevada City’s most charming daughters. P. G. SCADDEN Ca ‘Honest as the day is long,’’ is an old and homely C.F, CLEVELAND saying, but it means volumes and cannot always be truthfully applied when speaking of individuals. In the present instance, however, those who know the above-named gentleman will agree that it is perfectly applicable. Mr. Cleveland is a man of strict integrity; upright and honorable in all transactions, and believes in fair treatment to everybody. He was born in Iowa in 1860, and soon afterwards came to California with his parents, who took up their residence on what was then known as the Keyes Ranch, but which has for thirty years past been called the Cleveland Ranch, situated two
