PATRICK CULLEN, a prosperous farmer and respected citizen of the Paicines
valley, San Benito county, California, is a native of the Emerald Isle. He was
born in 1824, and at the age of seventeen he came to America. He worked in
Albany, New York, and afterward in Orleans county, that State. From there he
went to Springfield, Illinois, later to Missouri, and in 1854 came as a
Government teamster to California. He brought with him 400 head of cavalry
horses from Missouri, and delivered them at Benicia and Fort Tejon.

  Arriving in California, Mr. Cullom [sic] turned his attention to mining, and
was engaged in that business until 1860. That year he began stock-raising in San
Benito county. In 1882 he located on his present place, 480 acres of tilled
land, lying in the Paicines valley.

  Mr. Cullen is a man of family. He married Miss B. McAndrew, and has two
children, Hattie and John.
