in Corona, Riverside county, his choice of the many beautiful valleys he had surveyed and where he is engaged in
fruit raising. Later he became cashier of the First National Bank and a director. of the Citizens' Bank of Corona,
the able discharge of his duties having amply proven his efficiency for the work.
