Å“John Karr was born in County Longford, Ireland, October 22, 1837. When four months old he was brought to the United States by his parents and lived in New York until he was fourteen years of age when he started for California March 17, 1852, in the steamer Pioneer, through the strits of Magellan. This vessel was run ashore to save the lives of passengers and crew in Saint Simeon bay on the coast of California, the passenges and crew being taken off by the steamships Sea Bird and Orleans which brought them into San Francisco harbor August 21, 1852. Mr. Karr went first to the mines in Sonora, thence to Angel's camp and in October came to the Santa Clara valley.  Here he was differently employed for the best part of two years, when he once more launched out to the mines and finally brought up on the White River, Kern county. Remaining in this locality but a brief period he came to Alviso where he obtained, in the first instance, employment in the mill, and afterwards entered the store of R. Carr. He next made a six monthsâ„¢ trip to the Eastern States; came back to Alviso for one year, then went for eighteen months to the mines in the State of Nevada, and ultimately returned to Alviso and was engaged as foreman in the warehouses of one of which he now has charge. This enterprising gentleman besides owning the only store in the village, is a Justice of the Peace and School Trustee. Married, at San Jose, October 9, 1859, Margaret Borden, and has one child, John M. , born May 20, 1862.Â
