ANGEL ARRIET.� An old time stockman of the West Side, now en- 
gaged in dairying and viticulture on California Avenue where he is meeting 
with deserved success, is" Angel Arriet who was born at Celvite, Navarra, 
Spain, September 3, 1863. He is the son of Miguel and Francesca (Luper- 
ena) Arriet, natives of France and Spain, respectively, the father having been 
a farmer and carpenter. Both passed their entire lives there, the mother dy- 
ing in 1890, aged about forty-four, and the father in 1914, at the age of 
eighty-five years. 

Angel was the eldest of their eleven children, and was reared on the 
home farm until he came to California in 1884 and entered the employ of 
Miguel Arburua, a sheep grower of Los Banos to care for his flocks on 
the West Side. In 1888 Angel entered into partnership with his brother 
Pedro, and they purchased a flock of sheep and continued together, meeting 
with good success until about 1900, when they divided their flocks, each tak- 
ing one-half and dissolved partnership. Wishing to engage in ranching Mr. 
Arriet sold his sheep in 1905 and purchased his present place on California 
Avenue, five miles west of Fresno where he has been engaged in dairying 
ever since. He now owns sixty acres, twenty of which are in Thompson 
seedless raisin grapes and forty in alfalfa. He is a careful and thorough 
farmer, keeping his ranch in the best of order. 

Mr. Arriet was married in Fresno, September 28, 1905, being united with 
Miss Dominica Camino, who was born at Whart Cize, St. Jean Pied de Port, 
Basses Pyrenees, France, a daughter of Jean and Mary (Inchauspi) Camino, 
who were farmer folks in the Pyrenees region. Mrs. Arriet received a good 
education in her native France, and came to Fresno in 1904. Of this union 
there are four children: Josephine, Michael, Bernard, and John. Mr. and Mrs. 
Arriet are loyal to their adopted flag and particularly do they appreciate the 
splendid opportunities California has afforded them. Believing in co-opera- 
tion, Mr. Arriet is a member of the California Associated Raisin Company, 
as well as the San Joaquin Valley Milk Producers Association and is also a 
stockholder in the Danish Creamery.
