JACOBO J. GARCIA.

    Jacobo J. Garcia, well known in Denver and throughout Colorado in connection
with the employment business, was born February 26, 1879, in El Moro, Las Animas
county, Colorado, a son of Jose and Josefita (Tafoya) Garcia. Further mention is
made of the family in connection with the sketch of Abraham Garcia on another
page of this work. Both his paternal and maternal grandparents were natives of
the southwest, either of Colorado or New Mexico. In the fall of 1887 his father
took the family to Socorro, New Mexico, where they resided until 1891, when they
returned to Colorado, settling at Hastings, where J. J. Garcia remained with his
widowed mother and a brother and sister until 1902, at which time they removed
to Pueblo, Colorado, and there the mother passed away in the year 1910.

    While residing in Pueblo, J. J. Garcia was engaged in the employment
business and also acted as interpreter for the Santa Fe Railroad. In 1912 he
went to Greeley, where he engaged in business as a sugar beet contractor but
ultimately abandoned that business and in the same year removed to Denver, where
he again became engaged in the employment business. Since then he has conducted
boarding camps for the Union Pacific and for the Denver & Salt Lake Railroad
Companies and at the present time he is still carrying on the employment
business, in which connection he is doing important work.
