Author: Luther A. Ingersoll, Editor (1893)

ROBERT PORTER is one of the most enterprising and thrifty farmers of the Salinas
valley. He is a native of Canada, and was born at Quebec, January 4, 1853, son
of Thomas Porter, a blacksmith by trade and occupation.

  Our subject acquired a good business education in his native city, and came to
California in 1873, and the following year to Salinas. By industry and frugality
he acquired a fine farm in the Salinas valley, near Blanco.

  Mr. Porter married, in 1880, August 9, Miss Margaret Bardin, one of Monterey's
most accomplished young ladies and a daughter of the late James Bardin, a well
known pioneer of Monterey. (See sketch of James Bardin, in this book.) Two
children have been born to Mr. and Mrs. Porter, James and Eva. The Porter home
is one of the most complete in all its arrangements and surroundings of any in
the rural districts of the county, and is an ornament to the Salinas valley. Mr.
and Mrs. Porter are quiet and unobtrusive people, socially, genial and popular.
