JOHN MURDOCK VICKERSON

   John Murdock Vickerson is one of the highly respected citizens of Burlingame
who, after a long, active and successful business career, is now retired from
active affairs and is enjoying well earned leisure. Born in Canada, he is a son
of William and Ann (McLeod) Vickerson, both of whom were natives of that
country, where the father engaged in farming and stock raising.

   John M. Vickerson attended the public schools of his home neighborhood and in
1892 came to California. For the past thirty years he has resided in San Mateo
county and for many years engaged in building and contracting, in which he built
up a large business, gaining an enviable reputation as a reliable and competent
contractor, many of the best buildings in this section of the state standing in
evidence of his careful and painstaking work. He carried on this business until
about five years ago, when he retired.

   In 1897 Mr. Vickerson was united in marriage to Miss Elizabeth Mclnnis, who
also is a native of Canada and is a daughter of Kenneth and Mary Ann (McLeod)
Mclnnis. She attended the public schools of the Dominion and completed her
education in Prince of Wales College. She is a past president of the Burlingame
Women's Club, a past president of the North Burlingame Community Club, a member
of the Presidents' Assembly of San Francisco and for the past ten years has
served as a member of the school board. She is also a communicant of the
Protestant Episcopal church of Burlingame. Mr. and Mrs. Vickerson have been
worthy citizens of this community, taking a commendable interest in its progress
and welfare, and hold a high place in the esteem and confidence of all who know
them.
