JOHN CUDDEBACK was born in Tehachapi, Kern County, California, in September, 
1864.  His father , G. P. Cuddeback first settled in Tehachapi in 1858, and for 
many years was one of its prominent and influential citizens, extensively 
engaged in stock-raising. He is now a resident of Los Angeles, and owns valuable 
property in Orange, California. In early life John Cuddeback assisted his father 
as a practical stock man, and thus acquired the habits of a successful 
stock-raiser, which business, in connection with farming, is now claiming his 
attention.  He owns about 3,000 acres of agricultural land and stock range.  He 
has 600 fruit trees on his ranch, all in a flourishing condition, and on his 
grazing lands are found 200 head of cattle and fifty horses.  Among the latter 
is some of the best horse- flesh in Southern or Central California.  For energy, 
perseverance and thrift, Mr. Cuddeback is recognized throughout the valley as 
having no peer, and his fine stock is the pride of the entire stockraising 
community.  Mr. Cuddeback was married February 15, 1886, to Miss Emma, daughter 
of John M. Cunningham, of Orange California, and a native of San Jose.
