  J. B. Faggiano. Was born in Italy, June 1, 1830. When four years of age his
parents moved to France, where the subject of this sketch resided until he
attained the age of ten years. He then went with his father to the Society
Islands, and there remained seven years, being for a portion of the time engaged
as interpreter to the Government. He next came to California, arriving in San
Francisco September 25, 1849, and went direct to Murphy's Camp, Calaveras
county, where he mined for four years. We next find Mr. Faggiano following the
occupation of a butcher in Amador county for seven years, after which he
returned to San Francisco, purchased a sloop and established what is known as
the "Novato Line," plying between Novato and San Francisco. Having continued
this enterprise for fourteen years, he sold out and bought a store at Novato,
which he has since managed.
