Author: Luther A. Ingersoll, Editor (1893)

ABEL SOBERANES was born in Monterey city, California, June 2, 1859, and remained
in his native city until he was ten years of age. At that time he moved to the
old Soledad ranch, formerly belonging to the mission, and which became the
property of his father, Francisco Soberanes. His education was obtained in the
schools of Monterey county.

  Mr. Soberanes is one of the prominent ranchers of Monterey county. He has
4,612 acres of choice land, forty of which are devoted to fruit, his other
products being grain and stock. His place can boast of some of the oldest fruit
trees in this section of the country, they having been brought from the gardens
of the Soledad mission some thirty-five years ago.
