M. MONLEOT, of Tehachapi, Kern County, California, came to this State in 1854, 
landing at San Francisco. He spent fourteen years in the mines of Calaveras 
county, and came out of the deal with no profits. He then sojourned for two 
years in Idaho Territory, one year in Los Angeles and a brief time in San Diego 
County, being engaged in the cattle business at the latter place.
   In 1870 Mr. Monleot came to Tehachapi. He worked for Mr. Shnoek eight years, and 
subsequently on the ranch of George Cummings, Cumming's valley, six years. After 
that he engaged in the sheep business, in which he was very successful.  He now 
owns 1, 200 acres of land at the lower end of Cumming's valley, where he is 
engaged in the stock business.
   He was married in 1871, to Miss R. Veilleo, by whom he has seven children living.
