GEORGE L. PULLIAM, one of the representative ranchers of Imperial County, is the
owner of 160 acres in Water Company No. 6. Coming to the Valley in 1907, he has
labored earnestly and wisely in his work, his ranch being now in a high state of
cultivation, yielding large annual harvests of alfalfa. Mr. Pulliam has achieved
success as the result of his own efforts. He attended the public schools and
graduated from the San Antonio, Texas, high school in 1901. He then became
identified with the Southern Pacific Railway at El Paso for a period of three
years in the office. He mined and later was in the stock business and did
ranching in Mexico. Here he remained until he came to Imperial and filed on 160
acres of desert land. Personally Mr. Pulliam leveled the land and made all the
improvements, and practically planted all to alfalfa, and he now occupies a
well-equipped ranch. He possessed the vigor, manly courage and spirit of
determination that wins success in Imperial County. He erected a fine home, set
out trees and shrubbery and now has a model place. Mr. Pulliam is business
manager of Water Company No. 6, and served as director for about four years. His
political allegiance is with the Democratic party. Fraternally he is a member of
the Knights of Pythias of Calexico. He married in San Diego, December 24, 1914,
Miss Mae Darrough, a daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Andrew Darrough, residents of
Calexico.
