TEARK BRAMERS is one of the prosperous farmers of Monterey county who have
forced their way on to success by dint of their own enterprise and perseverance.

  Mr. Bramers is a native of Germany, born February 20, 1821. He came to this
country in 1853, upon his arrival being almost penniless. First he located in
Lee county, Illinois, where he remained four years. The following six years he
lived in Steele county, Minnesota. He came to California in 1864. While in
Illinois he was married, in 1856, to Miss Etta Blohm, also a native of Germany.
They have two children living, namely: Annie, now Mrs. Fred Batz, of Monterey;
and Albert J., who married Miss Bertha Menke.

  Mr. Bramers' ranch consists of 700 acres of fine grazing and farming land,
which is in an excellent state of improvement, and on which is a fine fruit
orchard and vineyard. He also owns and operates a threshing machine, and in this
is doing a good business in the neighborhood. His residence is one of the finest
rural homes in this region of Monterey county.

  Politically, Mr. Bramers is a Republican.
