JUAN INDART, a leading rancher of Tres Pinos, San Benito county, California, was
born in France in 1826. He came to California in 1851, via South America,
spending a brief time at Buenos Ayres. After his arrival in California he was
engaged for several years in mining in Calaveras county. He subsequently turned
his attention to dealing in stock. With a partner, he bought cattle in Southern
California and drove them north to the mines and sold them for beef. He ranched
for several years in the King's River valley, and in 1873 located his present
ranch near Tres Pinos, where he owns about 3,600 acres of the choicest farming
and grazing land in San Benito county, it being a portion of the Santa Ana
grant. Eight hundred acres of it are devoted to grain raising, and the rest to
stock grazing.

  Mr. Indart was married in 1863, in San Francisco, to Miss Mary Errica, also a
native of France. Following are the names of their children: Peter John, Tillie,
Mary, Domica and John Peter; the last two being twins.

  The Indart estate is one of the best in the county of San Benito, and has been
perpetuated by the frugal industry and business sagacity of its founder; and no
family is more highly esteemed for their sterling qualities than that of John
Juan Indart.
