YUBA COUNTY
Biographies

THOMAS EDWARD
BEVAN
A history of Yuba
County would be incomplete without the biographical resume of the lives of its
men most prominent in the public life of the county, among whom must be
mentioned Thomas Edward Bevan, now rounding out his thirty-third year in office
as county assessor. Born in Clayville, Oneida County, N.Y., January 30, 1854,
he is the son of Edward and Phoebe (Jones) Bevan, the former a native of Wales,
and the latter of the State of Illinois, but also of Welsh parentage. The
father was of sturdy Welsh stock, and at the early age of fifteen years was
boarded out to the trade of blacksmith. In 1849 he came to the States with his
brother, and in 1861 to California, via Panama, locating in Nicolaus, Sutter
County, where he ran a shop until 1873, when he moved his business to Wheatland,
Yuba County. He continued his blacksmith shop up to the time of his death, July
1, 1893, at the age of sixty-three. Three children were born to this pioneer
couple: Charles, whose death occurred in 1887; Nellie, born in California in
1864, and died aged fifteen; and Thomas E., the only living member of the
family. Edward Bevan was a man of great public spirit and prominent in the
affairs of the pioneer community, among his other activities serving as town
trustee of Wheatland.
On February 1,
1862, Thomas E. Bevan, with his mother and brother Charles, left New York for
California to join the father, making the journey by way of the Isthmus of
Panama. They arrived in San Francisco March 4, 1862, landing from the steamer
Golden Gate, which was burned up on the return trip. Three days later they
arrived at Nicolaus, coming up the Sacramento and Feather Rivers in the old
side-wheel steamer. The two steamers on the river then were the Governor Dana
and the Swallow, and daily trips were made from San Francisco to Nicolaus, the
craft drawing sixty-seven inches of water when loaded. This was the year of the
big flood in this district, and Marysville was four feet under water, and the
surrounding country flooded. The lad attended the public school in Nicolaus,
after which he learned the blacksmith business with his father, in Nicolaus and
later in Wheatland, where the old shop, built in 1873, still stands. In 1871 he
accompanied McNamara and Brewer overland through Nevada, Utah and Idaho to
Montana with a herd of 486 head of horses, starting on May 1, 1871, and arriving
in Helena, Mont., August 27, 1871, where the band was sold to Travers Bros.,
stage men, after which Mr. Bevan returned home.
After the death of
his father, in 1893, Tom Bevan, as he is familiarly called, sold out the
blacksmith business to D. O. Little. Having early in life made up his mind to
enter a business career, he attended Heald’s Business College in San Francisco,
graduating on May 17, 1875; and on his return to Wheatland he became salesman
and bookkeeper for the Towle Lumber Company, remaining with them for twelve
years. During this interval he served as city marshal of Wheatland in
1877-1878, and as constable in 1873. For a number of years also he was deputy
sheriff under Hank L. McCoy; and for one term he served as mayor of Wheatland.
Coming to
Marysville, in 1889, he continued his public career as under-sheriff under Jerry
Saul for four years. He then became deputy assessor under W. B. Meek for two
years; and in 1894 he was elected to the office of county assessor for Yuba
County. He is now serving his eighth consecutive term in that office; and when
the present term is completed, he will have been thirty-two years in the same
office, from January, 1895, to January, 1927, a record seldom equaled in any
county. In fact, he is the oldest assessor in public life for the past
fifty-one years.
Fraternally, Mr.
Bevan is equally well-known, as a member of the Masonic orders, including
Nicolaus Lodge, No. 129, of Wheatland, of which he is a Past Master; Washington
Chapter, No. 13, R.A.M., of Marysville; Marysville Commandery, No. 7, K.T.;
Wheatland Lodge, No. 48, Eastern Star; and Islam Temple, A.A.O.N.M.S., of San
Francisco. Prominent in Odd-Fellowship, he is a member of Sutter Lodge, No.
100, of Wheatland, and Marysville Encampment, No. 6; and he is the oldest living
member of the local lodges in both the Masons and the Odd Fellows. He also is a
member of Empire Lodge, No. 96, Fraternal Brotherhood, of Marysville; Silver Oak
Camp, No. 185, W.O.W., of Marysville; and Court Pride, No. 34, Foresters of
America, of Marysville, being a charter member of the latter, as he is, also, of
the Eastern Star and the Woodmen of the World.
Mr. Bevan was first
married , in 1877, to Sarah Shields, of Wheatland; and five children were born
to them, all now deceased, as is the mother, her death occurring in 1886. In
1888, Mr. Bevan was married to Cameron May Mauzey, of Missouri; and five
children were born of this union, two of them now living; Phoebe J., assistant
deputy assessor; and Eleanor E., a trained nurse in St. Francis Hospital, San
Francisco.
A typical
Californian, Mr. Bevan numbers his friends by the thousands throughout this part
of the State, his years of public service making him a well-known figure in this
district, and his sterling qualities of character endearing him to all who come
in contact with his genial and pleasing personality.
