Author: Luther A. Ingersoll, Editor (1893)

M. S. BORDGES was born on the Western Isles, January 1, 1848. He came to
America, via Boston, Massachusetts, in 1871, and after remaining at Boston about
three months he engaged in farming in Massachusetts for a short time, and then
came to California. After his arrival in this State he first worked for a short
time on a farm at San Jose, and then made his way to the Salinas valley, about
1874, where he now owns a good farm of about 190 acres. He has gained an
independent position in his community by his untiring industry, and has gained
the respect of all who know him. Mr. Bordges has one brother, J. S. Bordges, who
has been a resident of California for about nineteen years. The two brothers
live on farms adjoining. In addition to his farm already mentioned, our subject
is the owner of 125 acres known as the Thomas Grove's place.

  Mr. Bordges is married and has seven sons and one daughter. He is a prosperous
and successful citizen, and enjoys the comfort his hands have gained for him.
