Author: Luther A. Ingersoll, Editor (1893)

J. G. ARMSTRONG, a representative agriculturist of Salinas, is a native of
Delaware county, New York, born in Bovina, in 1834. His father, John Armstrong,
was a farmer by occupation and a native of the Empire State, who married Isabel
Coutter.

  Our subject came to California in 1868 and purchased 160 acres of land, near
Salinas, which is his present home. To this he has made extensive additions,
until he now is the owner of 2,859 acres of good farming and grazing lands. The
home is one of the most attractive in its surroundings and arrangements in the
Salinas valley.

  In 1861 our subject married Miss Christiana Smith, a lady of excellent traits
of character and great domestic thrift. She has borne her husband three
children, namely: John A., Edwin and Nellie, all of whom are at home.

  Mr. Armstrong stands in the front rank of those of his calling and is a
thoroughgoing business man.
