ISRAEL MYLAR, deceased, one of the California pioneers of 1850, was born in Kentucky, came to this State from Missouri, but not being exactly pleased with the country he returned to his home in a very short time; but as many of the other pioneers were again making the trip, in 1852, Mr. Mylar a second time made the journey, this time bringing with him his wife and one son, Enoch.
