L. B. AUSTIN. 


       L. B. Austin was born February 20, 1819, in Addison County, Vermont. His father, Francis Brown Austin, was a native of New Hampshire. His mother, Eleanor Whitten, was also a native of New Hampshire.

       In 1833 the family moved to Oswego, New York, where they remained until 1838. In the spring of 1838 they moved to Indiana. In 1840 he went to Cleveland, Ohio, where he remained for two years. In 1842 he went to Iowa, where he engaged in the furniture business, in the city of Burlington, remaining until 1849. He left Burlington with Captain Henry Niles' company for California. At St. Joseph the company received additions and thoroughly organized. They had no serious trouble with the Indians, and at Humboldt the company disbanded.

       He entered California August 16, 1849, through Bear Valley, passing Donner Lake, which had so recently been the scene of the Donner party's sufferings. Hearing that carpenters were in great demand at Fremont, Yolo County, he went there. In May, 1851, he went to Nevada County, where he remained until 1868, when he went to Hollister. In 1874 he moved to Monterey, and in 1877 came to Santa Cruz.
