LLOYD W. JENNINGS
A native Californian who is. now able to enjoy life in comfortable retirementt, is Lloyd W. Jennings, of Nevada City, in
which town he was born, on Nov. 22, 1866, the son of Worthington
Hastings and Carrie (Fisk) Jennings, both native of Massachusetts
and both now deceased. Grandfather Asa Fisk served in the War of
1812. Worthington Hastings Jennings came out to California as
early as 1856 by way of the Isthmus, and for a while engaged in
logging for a sawmill in Nevada County. Later he went into the
timber-lands and cut logs and sold them to the sawmills. In 1872 he
bought the Banner Tract of 700 acres of heavy timber, which he cut
and cleared, selling the product to the mills. In 1911 he sold this
tract, which had a second growth of timber on it. From the time he
came into Nevada County until his death in September, 1913, he
followed the lumber business. The mother had died as early as ‘
September, 1876. Two children were born in this family: Lloyd W.,
of this review, and May, deceased, who married and became Mrs.
Deeble.
Lloyd W. Jennings attended the district schools in the Oakland
district, to which he walked over the hills, a distance of three miles
or more from the Banner Tract; and at the age of fifteen he started
to work to earn a living. For eight years he teamed for his father,
hauling logs to the mills; and for a number of years he was
associated with various mining enterprises, starting at the lwoer
rounds of the ladder and working up to the responsible position of
foreman. He also worked for the South Yuba Water Company (now
the Pacific Gas & Electric Company) for thirteen years, and then
was in the bakery business for three years in Nevada City. In that
_ same town he served as city trustee for eight years, and hw as a
deputy sheriff under Sheriff Martin. He is now retired, enjoying the
fruits of his years of hard labor. ©

Hattie Alice White, a native of Nevada County and the daughter of
J. M. White, a native of Georgia and an early settler of California,
who followed mining in Placerville and later worked in the timberlands of Nevada County. Mrs. Margaret (Hufft) White, born in
Kentucky, is one of the few remaining Forty-niners who came
