M. TOMASINI is a native of Northern Switzerland, born in Canton Ticino; July 31,
1851. In 1868, at the age of seventeen years, he came to America with
twenty-four of his countrymen, and took up his abode in California. Born and
reared on a dairy farm, Mr. Tomasini was thoroughly acquainted with the business
in its every detail, and after his arrival in California he worked on a dairy in
Marin county three years. He then engaged in the busines [sic] on his own
responsibility, and from that time has continuously followed the same
occupation; of later years on a comparatively large scale, keeping at times as
many as 200 cows. He purchased a government claim of ninety acres in Carmel
valley, Monterey county, in 1875, and is improving the same as a fruit ranch. He
has been very successful in his undertakings, and is regarded by all who know
him as an honorable and upright man. Mr. Tomasini was married in 1875 to Miss
Concepcion Soberanes, who was born December 8, 1853, daughter of Mariano
Soberane's, the place of her nativity being Monterey. Her father is a highly
respected citizen of Carmel valley. A notice of him appears elsewhere in this
work. The children born to Mr. and Mrs. Tomasini are: Christiana, David, Deo,
Flora and Alma W.
