HISTORY OF CONTRA COSTA COUNTY
esting experiences of many of her first citizens. Prominent among them was the Soto family, well known throughout the State. The grandfather of A. J. Soto served as secretary to Governor Arguello under the Spanish régime. His grandmother was a Pacheco. Mr. Soto's father, Silverio I. C. Soto, was born in Santa Clara County in 1831, and came to this county in 1855. The subject of this review was born near Concord on April 10, 1858, and he was prominently identified with the development of this section. Mr. Soto served as deputy county auditor in 1880 and 1882, and was elected to that office in 1882, and afterward re-elected many times. He served as district attorney for some years, and served as special inheritance-tax appraiser for three years. Mr. Soto was married to Miss Minnie O'Neil, a native of Solano County, and to this union have been born Hazel, wife of William Dock- stadter, of Martinez; Adele, wife of William R. Selby, of Richmond; and Earl Soto. Fraternally, Mr. Soto was a member of the Native Sons, the B. P. O. E. and the W. O. W. Before the funeral the Bar Association of Contra Costa County met and adopted resolutions of respect to the memory of Mr. Soto. The resolutions are as follows:
Resolved, That in the death of A. J. Soto we have lost a beloved friend and brother, endeared to us not only by his simple, frank and pacific tempera- ment, his consideration for others, his genial humor, his sweet voice, so often heard in song on occasions festive as well as sad, his generosity and manli- ness of character, his freedom from narrow and sordid views, but also by his simple manner; by his stern sense of right; his high standard of honor; lofty citizenship; his clear intellect; his appreciation of the good, the noble and true, his love for the hills, the trees, the flowers, and the beautiful in nature, his enlarged and liberal views; his love of family, fondness for home, fidelity to friends and loyalty to and love of country,
Resolved, That as a lawyer our deceased brother was eminent in the high standard of integrity he always maintained; his devotion to his clients' cause, his clear and logical perception coupled with a nice sense of profes- sional honor,
Resolved, That we deeply deplore his loss, and shall long cherish his mem- ory as that of a beloved friend and brother to whom we are bound by no ordinary ties of affectionate respect,
Resolved, That the President of the Bar Association of Contra Costa Coun- ty, request that a copy of these resolutions be spread upon the minutes of this Court and that a copy thereof be suitably engrossed and delivered to the family of the deceased with an assurance of our sincere sympathy in their great bereavement, and that this Court be requested to now adjourn in deep respect to his memory.

J. E. RODGERS, R. L. BOYER, RALPH H. WIGHT.
GABRIEL MEYER .- To Gabriel Meyer belongs the title of self-made man, for, starting in life without experience and resources, he has through his own energy and initiative risen to be one of the leading merchants and business men of Antioch. He was born in France on March 16, 1859. His parents died when he was very young, and he received a very limited education. When

BIOGRAPHICAL
old enough he entered his uncle's store in his native town in France. At an early age he came to this country and worked for a relative in Ulster Coun- ty, New York. He came to Contra Costa County in 1879 and started to work for his brother Leopold, who died in 1913. In 1882 the brothers formed a co- partnership, and the management of the store was given to Gabriel Meyer. Mr. Meyer served the town of Antioch as treasurer for many years, his term expiring in 1904. Fraternally he is affiliated with the I. O. O. F. of Antioch and holds membership in the Encampment. Mr. Meyer was united in mar- riage on March 10, 1898, to Miss Mildred A. Wolf, a native of San Francisco, and a daughter of S. Wolf. Their daughter, Annette, was born on April 24, 1899. Mr. Meyer erected one of the first general merchandise stores in An- tioch. He deserves great credit for what he has accomplished in a business way, for he started out in life empty-handed, and through his own energy and perseverance has worked his way upward to success. He is a stock- holder in the Bank of Antioch and in the Delta Dredging Company.
HON. THOMAS D. JOHNSTON .- Standing high among the keen, enter- prising, and progressive attorneys of Contra Costa County and the Bay region is Thomas D. Johnston, the present district attorney of this county. He possesses rare ability and holds a high rank among the professional men of this section. He was born in Kirksville, Missouri, November 7, 1877, son of John W. and Laura (Bell) Johnston. In the parents' family there were three children. Thomas D., the subject of this review, acquired a grammar- school education in his native State. He received a teacher's certificate and taught school for a period of five years in Mendocino County, where his parents moved in May, 1895. Mr. Johnston's father afterward removed to Sacramento and practiced law, and was associated with Grove L. Johnson, the father of ex-Governor Hiram Johnson, the law firm being Johnson & Johnston. His father still resides in Sacramento and is a man of ability, standing high among the attorneys in the Capital City. Thomas D. Johnston while teaching school studied law and was admitted to the bar of Califor- nia in December 1901. He began practice in Fort Bragg, Mendocino County, and served as city attorney of that town for a period of four years. In 1906 Mr. Johnston removed to San Francisco, where he remained for a time, and on June 10, 1907, he located in Richmond, Contra Costa County, and began to practice his profession. On April 21, 1908, he was appointed police judge of Richmond, and during his term, in the fall of 1908, he was elected to the State legislature. In December, 1908, he resigned the office of police judge to take up his duties in Sacramento. During 1909-10 he was in the State legis- lature, and in 1911 he served as chief deputy under Hon. A. B. Mckenzie, then district attorney. After serving in this capacity for one year, Mr. Johns- ton resigned and engaged in practicing law. In the fall of 1912 he was a candidate for the legislature, and was elected, serving during the sessions of 1913-14. In the fall of 1914 Mr. Johnston was elected by the people of Contra

HISTORY OF CONTRA COSTA COUNTY
Costa County to the office of district attorney for a period of four years, and took office on January 1, 1915. This office he has filled with marked ability and judgment. Mr. Johnston was married on June 7, 1903, to Adah Elizabeth Wilson, a native of Mendocino County, and a daughter of Wil- liam and Mary (Reardon) Wilson. Their children are Thomas Donald, born April 14, 1904; William Reardon, born November 8, 1907; and Richard Cur- tis, born May 10, 1914. Fraternally, Mr. Johnston is a member and past officer in the I. O. O. F. and Encampment. He holds membership in the Eagles lodge of Richmond, the B. P. O. E. of Richmond, the Moose of Mar- tinez, and was past sachem of the Improved Order of Red Men-Santana Tribe No. 60, of Fort Bragg. Mr. Johnston has been especially active in the good-roads movement in this county, is a broad-minded, public-spirited citizen, and is one of the representative men of Contra Costa County.
GEORGE E. NETHERTON (deceased) was one of the representative ranchers who resided near Martinez. He was a son of John S. Netherton, one of the respected pioneers of eastern Contra Costa County, who now resides at Santa Cruz, California. George E. Netherton attended the Excel- sior School, near Byron, and afterward went through business college. He assisted on the home place, and was married on July 31, 1895, to Clara Hoff- man, a daughter of William Hoffman, who died in 1891. Mr. Hoffman for many years operated a tannery on his farm near Martinez, this being the only tannery in Contra Costa County. Mr. Hoffman started a tannery in Alameda County in 1853. From there he went to Sacramento and worked at his trade until the spring of 1856, when he came to this county. He had eighty acres and did general farming, besides having about three thousand vines of choice grapes and many varieties of fruit. Mr. Hoffman was born in Prussia in 1821. He came to America in 1845, and to California in 1851. He made the trip to California via Cape Horn, and after a voyage of nine months landed in San Francisco on February 1, 1851. He then went to the mines, remaining there one year. Mr. Hoffman was married to Elisa A. Myers, a native of Prussia, in 1858, and their children were Hermann, who died in 1894; Ferdinand, who died in 1892; and Clara, who married George E. Netherton, the subject of this sketch, and his death occurred on January 31, 1916. To Mr. and Mrs. Netherton were born two children-Hertha and Clarence P. Mr. Netherton for some years operated a dairy. After his death his wife disposed of the stock and rented the ranch.
JOHN B. ROOT (deceased) was one of the highly respected agriculturists of Contra Costa County, and was among the representative men in his locality. His birth occurred on September 28, 1859, and he died on December 10, 1910. He was a son of John Foster Root, whose birth was on February 29, 1836. The father followed mining for some time, and settled in Monterey County, where he took up farming in 1866. His parents crossed the plains to California with ox-teams, taking six months to make the journey. John

BIOGRAPHICAL
Foster Root is now residing in Lafayette, where he has made his home for some years. John B. Root, the subject of this review, was united in mar- riage to Evelyn Esther Hain, a native of Michigan, and to this union have been born five children-Edna E., Effie Maud, Robert Raymond, Helen Ul- dene, and Mildred Mabel. Edna E. Root married Lloyd L. Brown, now de- ceased, and to this union have been born two children-Kenneth, born Feb- ruary 15, 1907, and Warren, born January 12, 1914. Effie Maud Root mar- ried George F. Stahle, residing in San Francisco, and their one daughter is Muriel Evelyn. Robert Raymond Root married Hazel Irene Ward, of Oak- land, and they reside in Happy Valley on the home place; their one daugh- ter is Dorothy Ward Root. Helen Uldene and Mildred Mabel Root reside with their mother and sister, Mrs. Edna E. Brown, in Berkeley. The sub- ject of this sketch was one of the most capable and progressive ranchers in the county and his death was mourned by a wide circle of friends.
EDWARD WILLIAM O'BRIEN, D. D. S .- Numbered among the repre- sentative professional men of the Bay counties is Edward William O'Brien, D. D. S., of Richmond, California. He was born in San Francisco on October 12, 1877, son of James W. and Sarah T. (Woodward) O'Brien, now residing in Nevada. In the parents' family there were six children-Edward W., the subject of this review; Josephine, who resides in Portland, Oregon; Albert M., a surveyor; Alice W., Edwina J., and Harold. Doctor O'Brien's father has been a resident of Nevada for many years, always taking an interest along educational lines. He served on the school board at Wadsworth for twenty years, also as a member of the school board at Sparks, Nevada. Edward W. O'Brien acquired his education in the public schools of Nevada. He attended the university of that State for a period of three years, and took a special course in chemistry. He graduated from the dental department of the University of California with the class of 1901, and he at once com- menced to practice his profession in Nevada, where he remained six years. In 1908 Doctor O'Brien removed to Richmond, where he is now located, and occupies spacious offices in the Abbott Building. He was married in August, 1909, to Alice E. Henderson, of Eureka, Nevada, a daughter of George S. Henderson, one of the respected pioneers of that State. Frater- nally, Doctor O'Brien holds membership in and is a charter member of the B. P. O. E. lodge of Richmond, and served as one of the first trustees of that order.
