GEORGE A. MOORE, a successful farmer and an esteemed citizen of Hollister, has
been a resident of California since 1857. Almost immediately after he came to
this State he located in old Monterey county, and commenced work on the
Hollister Grant for Flint & Bixby. He spent a brief time for the same firm in
San Luis Obispo county, and in 1859 he engaged in business for himself. He
raised sheep on the open range of Santa Barbara county until the drouth of 1864,
after which he returned to Monterey county. The years 1868-'69 he spent in Los
Angeles county. In 1870 he purchased 1,070 acres of the Hollister grant, a part
of which he has under a high state of cultivation, and which produces a variety
of fruits of excellent quality and flavor. Few if any farms in San Benito county
are better watered or have better improvements than that of G. A. Moore.

  Mr. Moore was born in Somerset county, Maine, August 15, 1829. He married Miss
Emma L. Carr, a native of Hallowell, Maine. They have six children, viz.: George
H., Carrie C, Arthur S., Irving W., Helen G. and Winfield R.
