JOHN M. BUCHLE, whose ranch of 880 acres is situated about eight miles from Napa
on the Huichica grant, has been a resident of California for the past twenty
years. He was born in Graubenden, Canton of Grison, Switzerland, in 1843, his
parents being Christian and Anna (Marchion) Buchle, natives also of that
country. He was brought up upon his father's dairy farm, attended school one
year after completing the public-school course, and in his twenty-seventh year
he engaged in dairy farming and some other subordinate lines of business. In the
spring of 1870 he came to California and for three years was engaged in general
farming. In 1873 he entered the dairy business in Sonoma County and continued
therein two years, and in 1882 purchased his present ranch, where he has from
150 to 200 cows, and milks generally about 100. Each cow gives about 150 pounds
of butter per year. He also carries on general farming and stock-raising. He has
six acres of vineyard, mostly Zinfandel grapes, bearing. He has just started a
winery, where he manufactures his own grapes into wine. In politics he is a
Republican.

  In December, 1876, he married Miss Julia Liver, also a native of Canton
Graubenden, and a daughter of Beat and Menca (Lever) Liver, natives also of that
country. Both, of Mr. Buchle's parents and Mrs. Buchle's father are residents of
California. Her mother died many years ago. They have two children: Anna M. and
Beat.
