History of Kern County
EPIFANIO P. CASTRO.— Agriculture has been the life work of Epifanio P. Castro, who has been identified with the farming interests of Kern comity since he was able to work, following the pursuit of his father. Born April 7, 1872, in Kern County, Cal, he was the son of Thomas Castro, a pioneer settler of this county.
Thomas Castro was born in 1830 in Sonora, Mexico, where he grew to manhood and married. In 1867 the Revolution broke out, and because of his political inclinations he decided to remove from there, coming to Bakersfield, Kern County, where he remained for the balance of his life, successfully engaged in stock raising. His death occurred here when he was sixty-eight years old. It is of interest to note that the Castros are near relatives to the late Gen. Jose Castro, one of the most prominent historical figures in the state of California.
Twelve children were born to Thomas and Concepcion(Coronada) Castro, nine of whom grew up, as follows: Ramona, Leonides, Domitilo, Manuel (now deceased), Thomas, Luciano, Perfecto, Epifanio P. and Amelia. The mother of these children passed away at the age of sixty-three years.
Epifanio P. Castro received his education in the public schools of Kern county, attending until he was sixteen years of age, when he went to work tor his father on the ranch. Until he was twenty-three he gave his entire
time to this work, giving his father every assistance in his power, and looking after the home place. Then for two years he worked for the Kern County Land Company, in 1896 buying a forty-acre tract four miles south of Bakersfield on Kern Island road, which he has cultivated and brought to an excellent state of production. He has labored industriously and his property is yielding a fine crop which he markets at a substantial price.
In 1913 he leased the Brundage ranch of one hundred and seventy-five acres on South Union avenue, and here he is engaged in horticulture and hay and grain raising.
