MANUEL BRUNO, who is successfully conducting a dairy business on the Laguna Seco
rancho, situated on the Salinas road leading out from Monterey, is a gentleman
worthy of appropriate mention in the history of his county.

  Mr. Bruno was born on the Azores Islands in 1839, of Portugal parentage. His
father, Antone Bruno, was a wine producer. At the age of eighteen years, the
subject of our sketch came to America, landing at Cape Cod. From there he made
five extended whaling cruises, shipping from Provincetown. In 1861 he came from
New York city to San Francisco, via Panama, and then abandoned the sea. His
first employment in California was herding sheep in San Luis Obispo county. He
has since lived at Wilsonville and at Castroville. He chose for his wife, a
Spanish lady, Miss L. Espenosa, a daughter of Josefa Espenosa. She is the owner
of landed estate. They are the parents of fourteen children.
