California with Henry Dunbar, Jr., and
others, and they had 25 men in their employ
engaged in gold mining. Mr.. Kinds was an
honest, industrious man and a thoroughly
good citizen. He was very hospitable and
charitable; no person, stranger or other
wise, was ever turned empty from his door,
and many load of wood has he thrown
from his team in the door-yard of poor
neighbor as he returned from his days
wood chopping. He was of an active mind,
quick to discern and decide, and firm in
holding to what he believed. He had been
unable to go about much of late on account
of rheumatism, but did not take his bed
until the Wednesday before his death. His
mind was clear until the end and he kept
we'll informed on all events, local, national
and foreign.
