          This gentleman is a son of Augustine Alviso, whose biography is given 
elsewhere, and is “to the manor born.”  He received the best part of his 
education in an Eastern college, and is the only native Californian who has ever 
occupied a set on the Board of County Supervisors.  He was appointed by Judge 
Nye to fill the vacancy in Murray Township, caused by the resignation of Senator 
Beazell in the Fall of 1875. He is an old resident of Murray Township, and in 
now in his 37th year.
