ROBERT H. CAVEN.—Was born in Prince Edward county, Canada, October 10, 1853. He
resided in his birth-place, and was educated at the common schools and the
Pictou High School, until May, 1869. He then started for California, coming via
the Union Pacific and Central Pacific railroads, and arrived in San Francisco in
May of the above year. Sojourning in the metropolis but a short time, he came to
Contra Costa county, and first found employment on the Galindo Rancho, where he
remained some five years. In the Fall of 1875, in company with his brother
William, he purchased their present farm of one hundred and sixty acres, one
mile from Concord, and is now engaged in general farming. Mr. Caven was united
in marriage in San Francisco, April 2, 1879, to Miss Eva W. Greer. By this union
they have one son, Robert Allen, born March 25, 1880.
