BUTTE COUNTY
OPHIR TOWNSHIP
CHINESE
This information was taken from the microfilm on file at the Meriam Library, California State University Chico. The Chinese people in this census had come from the Canton district in south China near the Portuguese owned Macau and British owned Hong Kong. Nineteen ten was late enough in terms of second and a few third generation Chinese sons and daughters to be born in California. The federal courts had ruled their eligibility to be automatic citizens of the United States. But, anti- Chinese exclusionists made it difficult for them. They had to carry papers at all times. If arrested they could be held without habeus corpus freedoms. The customs commissioners in San Francisco were happy to send all Chinese people to their homeland (they took bribes to win favor easily it seems) some having lived in California for decades were born there. Policing was unfair and highly prejudicial. Arrests were made indiscriminately. Chinese people could not testify against whites in the court systems. Exclusion was made permanent in 1904; adding to the impossible living conditions and hate filled atmosphere.
The range of people in this census is worth noting. Among them are many cooks, store clerks, farmers ( mostly in fruit orchards and vegetables) cooks, laborers, laundry workers, miners, and merchants. Many dwellings included married couples who were reported on with a variety of occupations between them. The occupations for women was mostly keeping house. Chinese men were found as cooks and servants in many white homes scattered throughout the precincts. We found no female cooks or servants; none working out of the home. The ancient cultural grounds for keeping Chinese females inside dwellings after marriage seems to be operating in 1910.
There were several Japanese people listed living near the Chinese in Oroville. There surname was Kawada.
Some of the names and other information were hard to decipher. A question mark has been placed where the information was unclear.
