GEORGE W. GORDON, was born in Dorchester, New Hampshire, October 16, 1836, son
of John and Hannah Gordon, natives of New Hampshire. His father was a millowner.
When George W. was eight years old his parents moved to Maine, and there
located. He, however, remained in New Hampshire with his uncle, Jacob Gordon,
until he was twenty years of age. He then spent one year in Maine, attending
school.

  On account of poor health, Mr. Gordon came to California in 1859. He spent one
season on a dairy ranch near San Francisco, and at Point Reyes he conducted the
same business for about five years. Then, coming to Monterey county, he located
in Corral de Tierra, and operated the Laporte ranch of 4,500 acres. He is now
the owner of 185 acres of the finest soil in the corral, on which he conducts
diversified farming.

  He married Miss Julia M. Nason, by whom he has one daughter eight years of
age. He served his district on the County Board of Supervisors four years, with
ability and to the entire satisfaction of his constituents.
