L. H. SHORE
Mountain View
One
of the prosperous ranchers of the
Mountain View district of Santa Clara County is L. H. Shore, a representative of a prominent family of Kings County, Cal., where he still owns
an excellent ranch of 160 acres. He
was born in the rural district near
Hanford, June 24, 1874, a son of John
H. and Susan (Hahn) Shore. The father crossed
the plains in an early day and became a pioneer of Tulare County. He passed away in 1890 and the mother in 1915. They were the parents of
nine children, the subject of this review being the fourth child. His education was obtained in the public schools of Hanford, and then he followed in
his father's footsteps, becoming a
successful rancher of Kings County.
The marriage of Mr. Shore occurred at Santa Clara and united him with Miss Leora Bubb, the daughter of that worthy pioneer, William Henry Bubb, who was born in Washington County, Mo., December
26, 1836, and with his parents crossed the plains
to California in 1850, arriving at Placerville, September 26, going'
from there to Fremont, on the Sacramento
River, where they remained three months;
then to Nevada County, afterwards to Downieville, Yuba County, and finally to Santa Clara County, locating at Mountain View in 1851. There in conjunction with his father they followed the stockraising
business until 1855, and in 1857 went to Fresno
and Tulare Counties, started on his own account and continued there until 1865, when he sold out and returned to the Santa Clara Valley. Mr. Bubb became a very extensive farmer of the
district, and besides owning a ranch
of 150 acres, he owned a half-interest in the large warehouses at Mountain View. On October 16, 1867, at Mountain View, he was married to Miss Susan Farrar and of their family of children only two are living, Mrs. L. H.
Shore and Mrs. Louise Adams, the wife
of Charles E. Adams, of San Jose. William Henry Bubb passed
away at his home forty years ago, the mother surviving until 1913.
