About Julius Caesar Brooks

Julius Caesar Brooks. ... was a native of Ohio, who became a pioneer of Michigan, thence removing to Illinois, then to Iowa, where, near the city of Des Moines, he engaged in farming. Attracted to the west by the multifold opportunities held out in the early days of California, he crossed the plains with ox-teams in 1854, a member of a large train which made the journey in four months and twelve days. Despite their numbers, they had considerable trouble with the Indians, who stole their cattle and horses, Mr. Brooks having but four yoke of oxen left when he reached California. He immediately went to the mining districts in Butte county but instead of engaging in mining opened a dairy and carried milk to the miners by pack- train. After a time he sold his cattle and bought a mine which, though promising results, had been salted and proved his financial ruin. Forced to seek his livelihood by less precarious means he removed to Sutter county and in the vicinity of Nicolaus engaged in freighting for several years. Once more embarking in the dairy business, he located on Feather river and carried on this work successfully until the floods of 1868-69, during which he suffered great losses, as did all others in that neighborhood. In the fall of 1870 he removed to Burney Valley, Shasta county, and purchased a mountain ranch, where he carried on stock raising. Three years later he removed to Colusa county and engaged in wheat raising on rented land near the city of Colusa. This location remained his home for more than twenty years, when, in 1894, he removed to Lompoc Valley and near Lompoc bought a fruit ranch, consisting principally of an apple orchard, where he now makes his home at the age of seventy-eight years. For thirty years he has officiated as a deacon of the Baptist Church. Politically he is a stanch adherent of the principles advocated in the platform of the Republican party. In young manhood he married Mariam Wallace Haskell, a native of Illinois, and she is still living at the age of seventy-four years. Born of their union were six children, four sons and two daughters...
