A very successful rancher, who follows vineyarding according to the most-approved, scientific and practical methods, is Charles R. Dustin, who was born in Utah on April 12, 1851, while his parents, Fornatus and Rosaline (Call) Dustin, were on their way from Illinois to California. He is the third child and son of a family of eight children. His father, who was a native of the Prairie State, first settled in San Bernardino County, California, where he farmed until 1858. On his way to California he saw a place in Utah which he thought would make a great emigrant supply station and in 1858 he went back to the locality and established a station there. The great massacre of 1859, however, turned the tide of emigration to another route, and so the station was not the success he had believed it would be. In 1859, therefore, he abandoned the enterprise, and returned to California. In 1861 he settled in Stockton and engaged in teaming, part of the time to Stockton, and part to Sacramento; and so it happened that our subject went to the schools of both cities. In 1867 Mr. Dustin settled on the place now occupied by Charles R. Dustin, buying from the United States Government a squatter's title to 160 acres; but afterwards he lost his title to the railroad company, they having won in the courts in a claim to the land. He then paid for the land a second time, giving the railroad company $12.50 an acre. After that, he cleared up the land, and hauled wood to the market and our subject recalls that he has seen as many as 4,000 cords of wood taken from each quarter-section.
Charles Dustin remained on the home ranch as long as his father lived, and then continued there with his mother. The title to the land, however, was not perfected until after his father's death, and then it was put in his mother's name. Afterwards she gave him one-half of the quarter section, or eighty acres, which he now owns. It was a joy to him that his mother lived to be nearly eighty years of age.
In 1880 Mr. Dustin was married on the old home ranch to Miss Eliza Driscoll, who was born in Iowa and was only two years old when she came across the plains with her parents, John and Sarah Ann (Allen) Driscoll. Her father, John Driscoll, was a farmer, and Mrs. Dustin was reared and educated in the vicinity of her father's farm house in San Joaquin County, California. The mother died when Mrs. Dustin was sixteen years old. The father continued to live on his 400-acre farm on Cherokee Lane until his death at an age of seventy-one. Her parents had eight children: George, a rancher near Wallace, in Calaveras County; Allen, who died unmarried; El Dorado, born in El Dorado County and residing in Shasta County, single; William, residing in San Francisco, married and the father of eight children; Eliza, wife of the subject of this sketch; Mary, now the wife of M. A. Sparks of Galt, California, where he has served as deputy assessor for many years; Rachel T., the widow of S. H. Holman, residing in San Joaquin County, near the Calaveras County line; and John L., a plumber in Stockton. Of Mr. Dustin's brothers and sisters, Andrew and Oscar, elder brothers, are deceased, as is also Nora, a younger sister. Calista, Mrs. Wilkinson, is a widow and lives at Lodi. Fanny, the widow of Dave Thompson, lived in Utah and died on March 13, 1923. May and Arthur, the next in order of birth, and Lilly, the youngest, are also deceased, Arthur having died on April 5, 1923. Thus only two are left living: Calista and our subject. Mr. and Mrs. Dustin have had four children. Ora and Mabel are the two eldest, and the youngest is Rena. Elmer, the third-born, met death by a sad accident four years ago. Mr. Dustin, who is a Republican, served on the school board of the Houston district for one term. He is a member of the Masonic Lodge of Lodi. He has forty acres of vineyard set to Zinfandel and Tokay grapes, and the balance of his fine ranch is devoted to the growing of grain. Such leaders in agricultural industry as the Dustin's are the foundation of a commonwealth; and San Joaquin County is well satisfied that Mr. and Mrs. Dustin cast their lot here.

C.R. DUSTIN, PIONEER, DIES AT FARM HOME
Charles R. Dustin, a pioneer settler in the Lodi district, died yesterday morning at the family home seven miles northeast of Lodi. He was a native of Utah, aged 76 years. He was a successful farmer and vineyardist and had lived on the one place from 1867 to the time of his death.
He was the husband of Mrs. Eliza Dustin and father of Mrs. L.O. Allison, Stockton; O.R. Dustin and Rena Dustin, Acampo, and the late Elmer Dustin. He was the grandfather of Elwin Dustin and Mrs. B.C. Troglia.
Mr. Dustin was born in Utah, April 12, 1851, while his father and mother were on their way to California. They settled in San Bernardino where they remained until 1858. While crossing the plains the father noted a spot which he thought would make a good trading post and so the family returned to Utah and established a post.
Later an Indian massacre made that particular trail unpopular and the family moved back to California and in 1867 squatted on a section of land in San Joaquin county. Title to this land was later contested by the railroad company and Dustin, Sr., was forced to pay $12.50 an acre for another title. Before he finally perfected his title he passed away and the mother and son continued to occupy the land. The boy was given 80 ares by his mother and this was partly planted to grapes and he continued to make his home there for sixty years.
In 1880 he was married to Miss Eliza Driscoll, daughter of another pioneer family which had also crossed the plains at very early date.
