JOHN E. SMITH.

One of the oldest settlers of the West Side and the longest in years of service with Miller & Lux in Fresno County is John E. Smith one of the best posted men on early days and happenings in the part of the_ County where he resides. He was born in New York City, November 15, 1857, where he was reared, receiving a good education in the schools of that city. When eighteen years of age he came to the Pacific Coast, came to Fresno County in 1875 and immediately found employment with a sheep grower at the Sink of the Panoche on the West Side. Here he applied himself and obtained the experience that has made him so valuable as superintendent of the sheep department for Miller & Lux. April 11, 1880, he entered their employ and has since been steadily with them except three years spent in San Francisco when he again returned to Miller & Lux in his old capacity, his territory extending over an area from Stockton to Tulare. During these years he has at times had as many as 150,000 head of sheep. The company, through his years of experience now raise their own pure-bred bucks, which takes in eleven different breeds of sheep. His headquarters are at the Dillon ranch near Firebaugh.
