SANT RAM
A snapshot of Sant Ram |
Sant Ram Sarda was born in 1888 near Hoshiarpur,
Punjab. The family ran a small dairy business and Sant Ram worked
as a surveyor. His young wife died in childbirth,
so leaving the son in the care of his family, he came to America.
He arrived in San Francisco sometime in 1910-1911, and proceeded to work in the
usual laboring jobs open to Punjabis at the time. Around 1915, he
opened his own store in Imperial, and operated it until World War
I began. Sant Ram registered to serve and while waiting to be called,
sold his store. Unfortunately, the war ended. |
