HISTORY OF THE State of California AND BIOGRAPHICAL RECORD OF Oakland and Environs ALSO Containing Biographies of Well-Known Citizens of the Past and Present. BY J. M. GuiNN, A. M.
Publication date 1907
John Gamble, a pioneer educator of the state of California, and pioneer of 1853, was born in the north of Ireland, in County Antrim, in 1823, of Scotch parentage, and when about eleven years bid was brought to America by his
parents. He received his primary education in the public schools of Maine, after which he became a student in Waterville College. Stu-
dious by nature and intent upon securing a broad fund of information, he applied himself diligently and in young manhood established a reputation for himself as a teacher in an academy at Skowhegan, Me. Mr. Gamble was induced to come to
California by two of his brothers, Alexander and Peter Gamble, the former of whom came to California via the Horn in 1849. After he joined his brothers in the state they were lo-
cated at Big Oak Flat, Tuolumne county, and in Chinese Camp, and there engaged in business for several years. Mr. Gamble then went to
Big Oak Flat and for two years followed mining pursuits independently. He rapidly rose to a position of prominence among the more substantial citizens of Tuolumne county, where he
assisted in the organization of the first schools and later engaged in teaching, being so occupied in that section for about fifteen years. At that time he came to San Francisco because of better educational advantages for his children and for some years following engaged in teaching in San Mateo county. About fifteen years prior to
his death he retired from educational work, and removing to Alameda in 1897, erected a residence on Caroline street and there spent the evening of
his days in quiet and contentment. He was always a home-loving man, preferring the peace of his home to the excitement of club life, never affiliating either with club or secret society. He
was a Republican in politics, but beyond participating as a loyal citizen should in the establishment and maintenance of good government, cared nothing for personal recognition along these lines. He was an indefatigable student,
and wide reader and had the faculty of assimilating the best in whatever he read. He had considerable knowledge of law, which he had taken up at one time, although he never cared to
practice the profession. His death occurred in August, 1905.
In Skowhegan, Me., Mr. Gamble was united in marriage with Miss Lucy A. Lord, a native of that place, and born of this union were the following children : John A., born in the east and now residing in San Mateo county ; Lucy,
the wife of Fred W. Crossett; William P., deceased ; Mary E., a teacher in the Oakland schools ; Thomas A., an attorney of Seattle ; and James M., of San Francisco.

HISTORY OF THE State of California AND BIOGRAPHICAL RECORD OF Oakland and Environs ALSO Containing Biographies of Well-Known Citizens of the Past and Present. BY J. M. GuiNN, A. M.
Publication date 1907
John Gamble, a pioneer educator of the state of California, and pioneer of 1853, was born in the north of Ireland, in County Antrim, in 1823, of Scotch parentage, and when about eleven years bid was brought to America by his
parents. He received his primary education in the public schools of Maine, after which he became a student in Waterville College. Stu-
dious by nature and intent upon securing a broad fund of information, he applied himself diligently and in young manhood established a reputation for himself as a teacher in an academy at Skowhegan, Me. Mr. Gamble was induced to come to
California by two of his brothers, Alexander and Peter Gamble, the former of whom came to California via the Horn in 1849. After he joined his brothers in the state they were lo-
cated at Big Oak Flat, Tuolumne county, and in Chinese Camp, and there engaged in business for several years. Mr. Gamble then went to
Big Oak Flat and for two years followed mining pursuits independently. He rapidly rose to a position of prominence among the more substantial citizens of Tuolumne county, where he
assisted in the organization of the first schools and later engaged in teaching, being so occupied in that section for about fifteen years. At that time he came to San Francisco because of better educational advantages for his children and for some years following engaged in teaching in San Mateo county. About fifteen years prior to
his death he retired from educational work, and removing to Alameda in 1897, erected a residence on Caroline street and there spent the evening of
his days in quiet and contentment. He was always a home-loving man, preferring the peace of his home to the excitement of club life, never affiliating either with club or secret society. He
was a Republican in politics, but beyond participating as a loyal citizen should in the establishment and maintenance of good government, cared nothing for personal recognition along these lines. He was an indefatigable student,
and wide reader and had the faculty of assimilating the best in whatever he read. He had considerable knowledge of law, which he had taken up at one time, although he never cared to
practice the profession. His death occurred in August, 1905.
