He engaged in farming for a time and then embarked in the liquor business at Castroville, where he still lives and enjoys the esteem of a wide circle of friends. He has a brother, Jerry, in southern Monterey county; a sister Julia, now Mrs. John Hoyes, of Castroville; and another sister, Mary, is married. This gentleman is a fair example of what a man can make of himself if he only has enough push and energy about him.
