C. A. CREPIN, M. D., is one of the prominent and influential citizens of San
Benito county, California. He has been a resident of the State since 1876, and
of Hollister since 1881. Upon arrival on the Pacific coast he spent four years
in San Luis Obispo, where he practiced his profession. He was born in
Valenciennes, in the north of France, on November 30,1841, came to America, with
his parents, when only fourteen years of age. The father, Andrew Crepin, was a
merchant in his native land, but when he came to America he engaged in farming,
at Dubuque, Iowa.

  Dr. Crepin is the youngest of a family of four and received the rudiments of
his education in the College of Notre Dame, of Valenciennes. He studied medicine
in St. Louis, Missouri, at the medical college of that place. In 1867 he became
connected with St. Louis city hospital and later practiced medicine at Dubuque,
Iowa, and other points in the Mississippi valley. Since his residence at
Hollister he has been favored with a most extensive professional practice and
has thoroughly identified himself with the business interests of the county. He
holds stock in the recently established banking house of Hollister and is
likewise interested in the Hollister Water Works, the Hollister Gas Works, the
Electric Light and Power Company and Irrigating Company. He responds promptly to
any demand made upon him as a citizen of Hollister that tends to the development
and public good of the community.

  Dr. Crepin was married, in Lansing, Iowa, to Miss Mary McKeogh, and they have
two accomplished daughters, Emilie and Celia. These two worthy people enjoy the
esteem and respect of all who know them.
