JUAN ETCHEVERRY, a successful business man and prominent rancher at Tres Pinos,
San Benito county, California, is a native of France, born October 6, 1830. He
lived in South America for a brief period before coming to this country, having
left his native land in 1849. He came to California in 1851, and mined for three
years at Murphy's Camp. He then purchased stock in Southern California, drove
the same north, and then sold at a profit in the mining districts. He lived for
many years in the San Joaquin valley, engaged in stock-raising. Extending his
business operations into San Benito county, he purchased land at Tres Pinos, and
finally located thereon, where he has for many years resided. He owns 1,400
acres of fine land in and adjoining Tres Pinos village, which includes the
Southern Pacific hotel stables and several rentable houses in the same block.

  Mr. Etcheverry married, at Visalia, Miss Mary Amastoy, a lady of French birth.
They have one son, John Felix, born July 29, 1880. Mr. and Mrs. Etcheverry have
a large number of friends and acquaintances in this vicinity, by all of whom
they are esteemed for their many good qualities.
