Author: Luther A. Ingersoll, Editor (1893)

ARTHUR BRANNAGAN, an industrious and successful farmer and stock-raiser near
Mulberry, San Benito county, California, was born in Ireland. In 1845 he came to
America, landing in Boston, where he remained four years. In July, 1849, he
sailed from that city for San Francisco, going via the Isthmus of Panama. Before
locating in California, however, he tried mining in Nevada. He continued to work
in the mines until April, 1870, when he located on his present farm, where he
has 2,000 acres of land, part of which is used as a range for his stock. He has,
by careful management and continued industry, been very successful, and is
numbered among the prominent agriculturists and stock-raisers of this vicinity.

  He was married in San Francisco, in 1863, to Miss Fannie Bride, a highly
esteemed lady. They have three children: Richard, Annie and Arthur.
