J. LOUIS PERRIN
A valuable farmstead of
seventy-seven acres, situated about six miles southwest of Lodi, is the
property of J. Louis Perrin, who is extensively and successfully engaged in
viticulture and seed growing. Mr. Perrin
is thoroughly progressive and up-to-date in his agricultural enterprises, and
is considered among the prosperous and influential men in the San Joaquin
Valley. He was born in Bottineau County,
North Dakota, March 2, 1893, a son of Henry and Mary (Cota)
Perrin, the former a native of Quebec, Canada, and the latter of Massachusetts.
J. Louis Perrin, the second eldest
in a family of twelve children, received his first schooling in the district
schools of his native county and was eleven years of age when his parents
removed to Mountain Home, Idaho, and he continued his studies there during
their two years’ residence. The family
then removed to Lodi in 1906, where the father bought a thirty-acre tract of
land and our subject attended the Salem and Emerson schools in Lodi. Louis helped his father run the ranch until
1912, when he leased the Brack vineyard, which he still operates.
On November 3, 1915, in Lodi, Mr.
Perrin was married to Miss Mary C. Bround, a daughter
of Jacob and Johannah (Stewart) Bround. Mrs. Perrin was born in Morrow County,
Oregon, but received her education in the Salem and Lafayette schools of
Lodi. After their marriage, Mr. and Mrs.
Perrin resided on the Bround ranch, known as the
Stratton ranch, which Mr. Bround purchased prior to
his demise. In 1920 Mr. Perrin purchased
a seventy-seven acre ranch south of Kingdon,
twenty-seven acres of which is set to grapes of the Tokay, Mission and
Zinfandel varieties. The balance of this
ranch is operated by him as a seed farm, on which was a fine vegetable stand of
vegetable seeds in 1922. Mr. Perrin is a
Republican, and fraternally he is identified with the Modern Woodmen of America
at Lodi.
