DANIEL DOOLING, generally called "Governor" Dooling, was born in Kerry county,
Ireland, December 25, 1828. In 1846 he left his native land and emigrated to
America, landing at New York. From that city lie went to Stockton,
Massachusetts, and from there to Bridgeport, Connecticut, being employed at the
latter place in loading coal ships. While there he contracted ship fever.
Recovering from his sickness, he went, in 1849, to Georgia, where he was
employed on the Atlantic & Macon railroad, then being constructed.

  From Georgia Mr. Dooling came to California, landing in San Francisco in 1851.
After a short time he went to Sacramento, and from there sought the mines. He
was engaged in mining for fifteen years, and understands the business thoroughly
in its every detail. Leaving the mines, he returned to San Francisco. In 1869 he
came to Hollister, and has since resided at this place. Here he engaged in the
dairy business, and in it has been successful. His pleasant home called Fair
View, is located near Hollister.

  Mr. Dooling was married in 1868 to Miss Hannah Lef. Their union has been
blessed with five children, three sons and two daughters, and the oldest one
living is now the wife of Ed Holbrook, Sheriff of San Benito county.
