     Comfortably and prosperously engaged in farming on his beautiful ranch of

one hundred and sixty acres two miles north of Eckert, which he took up on a

pre-emption claim in 1883, and which he has since greatly improved and brought

to a good state of cultivation, Cesar Zanola, of Delta county, has not been

disappointed in the hopes of advancement that brought him to this country in

1875, and that have inspired his efforts in several lines of industrial activity

since then.  His parents were John and Elizabeth (Gonzo) Zanola, the former a

native of Italy and the latter of France, and they were married after coming to

the United States.  His father died in Italy in 1862, at the age of fifty-five,

and his mother in the same country, at the age of sixty-three.  Mr. Zanola was

born in New Orleans, U.S.A., in 1848, and in babyhood was taken by his parents

to Italy, and at nine years of age went to France, where he passed his boyhood,

living there until 1875, and securing his education at the state schools of that

country.  In the year last named he came to the United States and settled in

Nevada, where he was employed as a charcoal burner for five years.  From there

he came to Colorado, and locating at Leadville, worked in the mines at that

point for a year, then moved to Lake City where for two years he again engaged

in charcoal burning.  At the end of that time he came to Eckert, in Delta

county, and took up a pre-emption claim of one hundred and sixty acres, on which

he is still living and prosperously engaged in farming.  He was married in 1884

to Miss Rosa Giolzi, a native of Italy, who died on April 29, 1903, leaving

three children, Mollie, Josephine and Irene, who are living at home with their

father.  Fraternally Mr. Zanola is connected with the Order of Washington.  In

reference to the development and progress of the section in which he lives, he

is active and zealous, welcoming every undertaking that promises well for his

community and supporting it with ardor and substantial aid.  Having a lofty

devotion to the political institutions of the land of his adoption, he is

faithful and patriotic in advocating and sustaining them, and being a gentleman

of cultivation and geniality of manner, he is an ornament to the social life

around him, as well as an inspiration to his business interests and the real

elements of progress and material greatness which are working out its material

resources to the best advantage, standing high in the general esteem of the

people among whom he lives, and deserving through his uprightness of life and

his energy in business all the respect which is accorded to him, exhibiting in

his daily walk and conversation with his fellows the sterling qualities of

manhood and good citizenship which make his native country great and have

contributed so essentially to the welfare of America.
