M. B. TEMPLETON.-Mr. Templeton is a well-known citizen of Monterey county, and
is known especially for his business energy and enterprise. He is a native son
of the "Golden West," and was born in Trinity county, California, May 13, 1860.
He was reared in Alameda county and was in the railroad service for about six
years, when he came to Monterey county. His father, Benjamin S. Templeton, was a
wool-grower and a native of Ohio. His mother (now deceased) was born in Germany.

  In 1885, Mr. Templeton, in company with F. O. Oaks and T. A. Cunningham,
purchased 4,000 acres of land of the Moro Cojo ranch, made extensive
improvements on the same, and the purchase was recently divided between the
partners, Mr. Templeton taking 380 acres, upon which he has put out about 3,000
fruit trees, erected new and commodious buildings and otherwise made great
improvements. His estate lies in a fertile and picturesque county, especially
adapted to fruit culture.
