Author: Luther A. Ingersoll, Editor (1893)

P. L. NASH, a well-known farmer of Hollister, came to California in 1853, from
his native state of Maine, where he was born in Washington county, January 22,
1839.

  The journey to California was made with his father, Shaw Nash, and upon
arrival the father and son went to the mines and engaged in that perilous and
fascinating pursuit until 1864, when they located in the Santa Clara valley and
engaged in farming at Warm Springs. They removed therefrom to Hollister, in
1869, where our subject has since resided, pursuing his calling of farming very
successfully. Besides his home in Hollister, Mr. Nash owns 300 acres two and
one-half miles southeast of Hollister, and another tract of 300 acres three
miles west of the same city.

  Mr. Nash was married, July 25, 1866, at Warm Springs, to Miss Perthina N.
Cates, a daughter of Edward Cates, a native of Maine. Mr. and Mrs. Nash are
highly respected in Hollister, where they have resided for so many years, and
where Mr. Nash has amassed a small fortune.
