Hi Linda- I knew that name sounded familiar------------There was an Antone Sylva dairy farm in Santa Cruz County.............. The coast road dairies above Wilder's are those of Ed. Anderson, Pio Scaroni, Antone SyIva, Joseph Enright, T. Respini, Moretti J. Filippi, A. Gianonnii and C. Lombardi. Beyond Wilder's, in a snug little valley which is the outlet of Eagle Glen, a picturesque, cliff-bounded canon where Cojo Creek cuts down to the ocean, is a typical small dairy. Mr. and Mrs. Antone Sylva have given their 180 acre ranch the name of Eagle Glen Dairy, and a more thoroughly kept and well arranged place it wouId be hard to find. They have occupied the place twenty years, have built them a pleasant home, with plenty of western windows looking out upon the sea, and Mrs. SyIva's excellent taste and loving care have made her flower garden the admiration of all visitors and passers-by. Forty cows are milked, and their product is all manufactured into butter, which has a first-class reputation for quality. The city pipe-line crosses the farm and provides ample water-power for churning, etc. Electricity will soon be introduced. Then comes Supervisor Enright's cheese dairy. Genial Joe Enright is a general favorite, especially with his neighbors along the "Coast Road." He has served his district well as Supervisor, and the improvement in grades, bridges and roads has been general. http://www.santacruzpl.org/history/work/dairy.shtml Carolyn Linda Emerson wrote: > Adrienne... > > Did you Antone Sylva have anything to do with dairy farming?
