DANIEL BRINSON-Mr. Brinson is the pioneer boot and shoe merchant of Hollister.
His advent into this State was made as early as 1853, when he came from
Winterset, Madison county, Iowa. He is a native of Ripley county, Indiana, and
was born at Versailles, on February 14, 1835. His father John was born on
Licking river, in Kentucky. He was a farmer by occupation and his wife was
Elizabeth Wade. They had twelve children born to them before they removed to
Iowa, where they reared their large family.

  Upon coming to California Mr. Brinson engaged in mining for a short time with
indifferent success. He then followed lumbering at Redwood City for a time. His
next venture was a boot and shoe factory in Monterey, which he started in 1862.
In 1865 he removed to Santa Clara county, where he resided and carried on
business until 1871, when he came to Hollister, where he has since been engaged
in the same occupation.

  Mr. Brinson was married, in 1859, to Miss Lucinda Vargas, a native of
California, born at Los Angeles. The marriage ceremony took place in Monterey.
Mr. and Mrs. Brinson are highly respected and esteemed among a large circle of
friends.
