Author: Luther A. Ingersoll, Editor (1893)

A. TAIX is well known in San Benito county as one of the enterprising and
successful men of San Juan. He has recently purchased one of the most beautiful
spots of land in that locality, which will be his future home.

  Mr. Taix was born in the Alps of France, July 30, 1853. When scarcely
seventeen years of age he volunteered his services in the ambulances during the
Franco Prussian war; hence, during the ministry in the latter part of 1871,
longing to see the world, he embarked for San Francisco, went to work and pushed
himself rapidly forward on the road of success. Two years later he moved within
the boundary of San Benito county. He then turned his attention to the sheep
industry, when the county was then open and ranges plentiful, with good results.

  In 1882 he next engaged in merchandising and operating a meat market in the
old town of San Juan, where he is still doing a lucrative business, with the
best intention to live and reside among his many friends.

  Mr. Taix has four bright children to succeed him in life: Antoine, Vickie,
Lena and Rosie Taix.
