JOSEPH NORTHROP came to California, in 1865, from Washington county, Vermont,
town of Cabot. He is a native of Peacham, near Caledonia, Livingston couuty, New
York, March 26, 1837.

  Upon coming to the coast he first mined at Dutch Flats and at Gold Run, where
he remained about nine years. He then came to Monterey county and located in the
Salinas valley, where he has continuously farmed on the Cooper ranch since that
time. Here he has 155 acres of land.

  Mr. Northrop's father died in Vermont, in 1868, and all of his eleven children
are still living, except three. None of them are on the coast, except our
subject. The latter has a niece and nephew in California, however.

  Mr. Northrop is one of Castroville's best citizens, and is a prominent member
of Confidence Lodge, No. 20, A. F. & A. M. of Castroville.
