Editors Humboldt Standard:

Mr. Jewett was a California pioneer of 1850, and with his brother, Warren Jewett, lived in the Garberville-Spruce Grove section of Humboldt County, more than 20 years. Both brothers were natives of Ohio, as was a sister now residing in Oregon. The

For a long term of years Alanson and Warren Jewett, the latter a California volunteer in the Civil War, owned a considerable acreage of land between Garberville and Spruce Grove. This was disposed of some years ago and Warren Jewett invested in suburban property near Seminary Park, Alameda county, where he now lives in very feeble health at the advanced age of over 80 years.
