JOSEPH MARIOTT
 
one of the successful ranchers of Lemoore, is a native of England, born in 1823. 
 In 1853 he left his native land and went to Australia.  From there he came to 
California in 1865 and settled in Contra Costa County, where he continued to 
reside until 1870.  That year he came to his present location, bought eighty 
acres of unimproved land, and by building, planting and cultivating has greatly 
enhanced the value of his place, making it one of the most desirable in this 
vicinity.
            Mr. Mariott chose for his life companion and wedded Miss Ann 
Radcliff, a native of England. Their three children are:  John William, who died 
June 6, 1888; Maria, wife of L. W. Stronce; and Joseph, who married Miss Annie 
Yelkin, and has two children � Laura and Ines.
            Mr. and Mrs. Mariott are now on an extended visit to their old home 
in England, which they had not seen for thirty-eight years, and in their absence 
their son Joseph is conducting the farm.  While having charge of the home place 
he is also cultivating other lands.  Like his father, he is a prosperous and 
honored citizen.
