THOMAS J. HARP was born in San Joaquin county, California, October 23, 1857, the
oldest in a family of five children. His father, the Hon. T. D. Harp, State
Senator, is a native of Overton county, Tennessee, and dates his arrival in
California in 1850. His mother, Elizabeth (Henderson) Harp, is also a native of
Tennessee. Thomas J. was reared and educated in his native county, and has
followed agricultural pursuits all his life. He is now superintending his
father's farm, which consists of 1,800 acres and is located five miles south of
Modesto. This is a stock and grain ranch, and under the efficient management of
this enterprising young farmer is yielding large crops. It is considered one of
the most productive and valuable farms in this section of the country.

   Mr. Harp was united in marriage in Stanislaus county, September 1, 1879, with
Miss Elma E. McCumber, a native of Wisconsin. They have two children, Lola M.
and Joseph O.

   Politically, Mr. Harp is allied with the Democratic party. He is connected
with none of the secret orders, and finds but little time for political or other
matters, his extensive ranch interests requiring his undivided attention. He is
a most worthy citizen, and has the respect and esteem of all who know him.
