SAN JOAQUIN TOWNSHIP.

	Post Office, Florin; lives eight and a half miles from 
Sacramento; was born in New Jersey, in 1844, and lived there until 1859; he came 
to California in that year, with his parents, and settled in this county; they 
engaged in farming and fruit-raising; he is now engaged in the same business, on 
the same place where he gathered his first crop---which was a good 
one---settling the doubt in their minds as to the worth of the country for grain 
growing; he owns eighty acres, which, with improvements, are worth about $4,000. 
He was married, in 1870, to Annie Hack, a native of Battle Creek, Michigan, who 
has borne him four children, only one of whom is living---Annie Pauline, born 
July 10, 1877.
