DAVID WEBSTER.-Mr. Webster came to California from the Province of Ontario,
Canada, in 1867. He is a native of Ayrshire, Scotland, where he was born,
October 14, 1835. His father, D. W. Webster, was a weaver by trade and reared a
family of five sons and six daughters, and of those eleven children the subject
of this sketch is the second born. His parents emigrated to Canada in 1842,
where our subject was reared, engaging in farming pursuits during his boyhood.

  Upon reaching San Francisco he sought and found work in the country. In 1872
he leased land on the Cooper ranch, near Castroville, where he carried on a
successful business until the winter of 1890, when he purchased a farm of 132
1/2 acres, near Salinas, one of the best farms in that locality, and here he now
resides.

  Mr. Webster stands high in the estimation of his community, and his prosperity
is due to his untiring industry and thrifty husbandry.

  He was married in 1866, to Mrs. Elizabeth Warnock (a widow with three sons),
by whom he has one son and two daughters, namely: David A., Mary Ellen and Agnes
J.
