RADCLIFF, WILLIAM P. Was born in Virginia, April 7, 1837. Here he resided until 1858, when he came via Panama
to California, and arrived at San Francisco May 28th of the above year. The first five years of his California
life were spent on a farm in San Joaquin County. He then took a drove of horses to Shasta County, where he spent
the winter of 1863-4, and in the spring of 1864 he went to Washington Territory. Here he spent one year, and then
went to Montana, and after mining for about nine months, he returned to Shasta County, California, and engaged
in stock raisin. Here he remained until 1869, when he went to Oregon, and, after a short stay, came down overland
to Mendocino County, California, where he followed stage driving for a short time. He then returned to Virginia.
Here he engaged in the lumber trade for one year, and then, in the winter of 1870, returned to California and located
about two miles above Upper Lake, where he farmed, and also conducted the stage line leading from Lakeport to Bartlett
Springs, until 1873. In 1871 Mr. Radcliff, in company with Dr. Dexter Witter, bought the property known as Witter
Springs, and in 1873 he moved upon the property, where he has since resided. In 1880 the subject of this sketch
bought Dr. Witter's interest in the property, and conducted it alone, as well as a stage line between Lakeport
and Ukiah, until the summer of 1881.
