arrived at Paso Robles in February, 1886. He purchased sixty-five acres of land, located 
a mile and a half south of the town. On this property he has built a home and made other 
improvement, and has planted prunes, apricots, pears, peaches and cherries. lie keeps a 
dairy of twenty-two cows, and furnishes the milk supply for Paso Robles.

daughter of W. 8. Grant, also a native of that State, and now a resident of Paso Robles.
