H. C. TOLLETT, a resident of the "Golden State" since 1872, is a successful farmer of 
Salinas, Monterey county. He is a native of Washington county, Arkansas, having been 
born there September 17, 1849. 

After coming to this State Mr. Tollett engaged in farming, and now has a fine farm 
of 120 acres of rich land under a good state of cultivation. The property is situated one 
mile from the city of Salinas, and Mr. Tollett has erected a superior grade of buildings 
upon it, in a rural architectural style, that has a beauty of its own. 

The lady who presides over his home is the daughter of George Archer, a capitalist of 
Salinas. Mrs. Tollett is a native of Illinois, and she and her husband are the happy par- 
ents of one daughter, Hattie, born in 1883. 

Mr. and Mrs. Tollett are highly respected and esteemed among their neighbors, and are 
worthy good people.
