Alfred’s brother Antoine came in 1861 until his death in 1915. Antoine operated a private bank where money deposited was invested on behalf of the clients. He later became the director of Bank of California. Antoine was also a director of the Spring Valley Water Company and he ran the California Street Railroad.
“Antoine had married a local girl Grace Canitrot and they had five daughters and two sons. One son, Alfred, died at the age of 4. Three of their daughters married. Alice married Aylett Cotton, who later became a judge. Sophie married John M. Lewis. Grace met and married Louis Bovet in Switzerland , although they came to live on the family property in San Mateo. Guadalupe and Chonita remained single. The remaining son Antoine A. Borel married Mardie McMahon. After both Alice and John Lewis died, Sophie married Aylett Cotton, her former brother-in-law.”
I just had a conversation with a San Mateo home buyer who doesn’t want to live near an earthquake fault. If you don’t want to ever risk being in an earthquake, you don’t want to live here.
Friends from Florida think it’s crazy to live here; I think it’s crazier to live where there are hurricanes. No matter where you live you can’t hide from Mother Nature.
Scammers are finding vacant houses on craigslist, changing the locks and renting them to unsuspecting people.
Unfortunate victims pay rent and security, then move in to find out they have to move right back out because they rented from a scammer instead of the actual home owner. Where’s their money? Gone. By the time the scam is discovered their money is long gone.
Craigslist is still the best source for a lot of things, including renting a house in San Mateo, but beware!
Hey – that rhymes – almost. I must be tired. Anyway, I had to be in Half Moon Bay this morning at o’dark thirty. The steam was coming up off the Crystal Springs Reservoir – it was gorgeous. I didn’t realize how eerie the picture would be and I didn’t realize how dang dark it was at that time of the morning.
