Interview with Elsie Farnsworth (page 139)
-----------------------------------------------------------------

	I remember Nigger Nat. He was quite nice. He was real
dark. In later years he went up to Mendocino. When I first went
to high school in Mendocino he was still living in a little old house
on the south side of Big River. He married a white woman and
they had several children. The girl went to high school when I
did. She was a pretty girl. She married Charlie Tyrrell who had
the first automobile in Mendocino, where you rented them, kind
of a garage like. The boy I think is still living in Fort Bragg. My
husband, Mr. Farnsworth, knew him and used to see him quite
often at rodeos. He came with Grandfather. His crew was all
Kanakas, when he sailed around the Horn, when he came here.
