Chipman and Aughinbaugh were the founding fathers of Alameda, Ca.
William Worthington Chipman, was a native of Vermont. After growing up in Dayton, Ohio, and serving as school principle there, he studied law. In 1850 he came to San Francisco by way of the Panama. He soon set up a reading room and Intelligence office on Clay St. between Kearny and Montgomery Streets where he kept newspapers from the chief towns in the United States and a "Miners' and Strangers' Rregister" facilities for the use of which he charged a fee. It was here that he meet Gideon Aughinbaugh, who was his partner and friend for the next 23 years.
