  • Notes 
    • "ALLEN W. ETTER, the junior member of the firm of Klemmer & Etter, wholesale and retail dealers in flour, feed, grain, and hay, was born in Nova Scotia, May 14, 1854.

      His parents, James and Eliza Ann (McKean) Etter were both natives of Nova Scotia. Their ancestors were from Holland.

      Allen W. is the eighth of their eleven children, nine of whom are living. He was reared in his native place, educated in the common schools, and learned the wagon-maker's trade. He worked there until he was twenty-four years of age when he came to California and located in Princeton, Colusa County. There he remained four years, working at his trade.

      In 1886 he came to Redding and formed a partnership with Mr. Klemmer. They are enterprising men and are doing a fine business.

      In politics, Mr. Etter is a liberal Democrat. He is a member of the I.O.O.F. and has passed all the chairs of the order several times."
