Author: Luther A. Ingersoll, Editor (1893)

JAMES BUTTERFIELD is one of San Benito county's most enterprising and active
pioneers. He is the oldest son of the venerable Thomas Butterfield, of
Hollister, an autobiograpical sketch of whom appears in this work. He was born
at Farmington, Maine, May 5, 1836. He married Miss Jessie, a daughter of Samuel
Holt, Esq., a native of Nova Scotia, by whom he has seven children: Harrie,
Nellie, Edwin, Carrie, Thomas, George, and Arthur.

  Mr. Butterfield's life has been a singularly busy one and has been spent thus
far in rural pursuits. He preceded his father two years to this country. He has
spent several years in Oregon. He also, at one time, operated a goat ranch on
one of the group of the Sandwich Islands. He located on his present place near
San Benito, in 1876. He, in 1892, is preparing to take up his family residence
in San Jose, California.
