May 6, 1862-Framed and matted bill touting the results of a sheep shearing contest. It indicates the weights of the sheep (ewes and bucks) and the weights of the wool taken from them. It further lists the sheep ages, and the grand totals for all the activities. Frame measures 14"x11.5", the paper bill measures 9"x6.75". The paper itself does have some 2 minor fold lines, but is overall in very good condition. Marysville was formalized in 1850, as a stopping point for riverboats on their way to the California gold fields. HKA#64147
