ANTONIO SOARES DE OLIVEIRA.


He was born August 29, 1849, at Rebeirinha, Island of Pico, Azores. His father was absent in Rio de Janeiro, and he lived with his mother and attended school between the ages of three and eight years. He lived with his mother and grandfather till nearly eighteen years old. June 10, 1866, he took ship to America on the brig Avarista, with eighty-five passengers. A voyage of thirty-three days landed them in Boston. He then came to California via Panama, the trip to San Francisco consuming twenty-four days. He worked for wages three years, and then in business for himself. When


twenty-five years of age he had laid by $5,000. Misfortune then overtook him, and he paid his liabil- ities at the rate of seventy-five cents on the dollar, leaving himself penniless. He started a new busi- ness, but became sick and was compelled to leave. He then went back to the States. October 17, 1878, he returned to his native land for health. He was in Portugal twenty-four days, and then sailed in the brig Bogotha to New Bedford, with 170 pas- sengers, the voyage lasting thirty-nine days. He then came to California and settled in Scott valley, where he has been very successful. He is by occu- pation a mechanic.
