J. M. KELEHER.—This gentleman has been a resident of California since 1853,
although he is a native of Cork county, Ireland, where he was born December 14,
1830. At the age of twenty he emigrated to America, landing in New York, in
1850. From this city he went to Boston, where he remained three years and then
sailed from the latter city to California, in 1853, via Isthmus of Panama. After
living in this State until 1868, he took up his residence in the Salinas valley,
where he engaged in farming on the Santa Rita ranch. Here he purchased 200 acres
of Don Manuel Soto, lived on it and cultivated it until 1888, when he sold the
same and located at Salinas.

  Mr. Keleher has been married twice, the first time to Julia Coughlin, by whom
he had one son, Ernest, now deceased. Mrs. Keleher died, and her husband married
in 1880 Miss Rose Kern, of San Jose. They have one daughter, Rose. This family
reside in a very pleasant home of twenty-eight acres of well improved land
adjoining the city of Salinas, where they dispense hospitality to their many
friends.
