ERNEST F. CESMAT. The republic of France has given to the United States many of her best citizens, men who have become very successful and influential in the various localities in which they have elected to reside. California has had her share of these thrifty men, and they have adapted themselves to their surroundings and have aided every movement for the upbuilding of the state. In Ernest F. Cesmat, San Luis Obispo County has a solid, substantial citizen. He was born in Eastern France, near the Alpine mountains, December 11, 1862, and was reared to farm work on the place owned by his father. He attended the public schools of his native place until he struck out for himself.
In 1884, at the age of twenty-two, he came to California to seek his fortune in the land of opportunity. Locating in San Ardo, in Monterey county, Mr. Cesmat worked on a sheep ranch for the first eighteen months, and then at harvesting in the grain fields, and later on threshing machines, until he had saved enough to begin for himself. He bought the San Ardo hotel property, rented it out, and later disposed of it at a
profit. He also leased one hundred sixty acres of land on shares for two years, and later increased it to three hundred acres, farming to grain.
In 1892 he disposed of all his interests in Monterey county and came to Los Berros, San Luis Obispo County, where he purchased twelve acres of land,. and with a team of ponies cleared it of the brush. This he sold, and later rented a place near the depot. Going back to Monterey county, he worked in the harvest fields until he had saved three hundred fifty dollars ; and with that money he came to Los Berros and bought the land, he had rented. From time to time he has added to this until he now owns
forty acres, which he farms to grain and beans; he also farms rented land near by, and is the owner of a cattle ranch of one hundred sixty acres in the hills, where he raises stock. In addition to this, he and his wife conduct a grocery store, and Mrs. Cesmat was postmaster of Los Berros for eleven years. On his hill ranch he cuts wood for market, and since coming to the county to make his home he has made a success of his operations.
Ernest F. Cesmat was married to Miss Emma Rodriguez, a native of Iowa, and they have two sons : Victor, of Modesto, who is married and has two children ; and Raymond, who lives at home.
Landing in San Francisco with just ten dollars in his pocket, Mr. Cesmat
has worked hard and is now one of the respected and prosperous men of his locality. He is a Democrat.
