JOSEPH FRANCICSO VIERRE.—This successful and respected citizen is one of the
thrifty farmers of Blanco, Monterey county, California. Like many others of his
nationality, he came to this county without money, and laid the foundation for a
competency by working on the farm.

  Mr. Vierre was born on the Azores, off the coast of Portugal, February 28,
1836. He came to America on a whaling cruise in 1856, and made voyages on the
coast of Nova Scotia and South America. Upon arrival in California he spent
about five years in the mines. He then came to Monterey county, and worked four
years on the wharf at Moss' landing. He then spent seven years on farms in the
Carmel valley, after which he came to Salinas valley and located at Blanco,
where he has since lived. Here he owns 150 acres of fine farming land, and also
rents ninety-three acres from J. Jacks, Esq.

  Mr. Vierre was married in Monterey, in 1866, and has four attractive daughters.
