Jeremiah V. Hollinsead was born in Kentucky and, by 1852, had settled in San Francisco. John Nobili was an Italian Jesuit
who came to California in 1849 and founded Santa Clara College at the Mission Santa Clara in 1851. Belgian Louis Joseph Fontaine

The school was later taken over by Santa Clara College. William C. Spiegel was a professional sign painter.
