  http://archive.org/stream/historyofsanjoaq00tink/historyofsanjoaq00tink_djvu.txt GEORGE PRESZLER.? Among the well-known and prosperous viticulturists of San Joaquin Valley is George Preszler, the owner of a valuable vineyard of eighty-seven acres about four miles east of Lodi, undoubtedly one of the finest and most profitable vineyards in the county. He was born in South Russia not far from Odessa, on October 4, 1868, a son of George Adam Preszler. He has no recollec- tion of his parents, as his mother and father both died from the cholera within two weeks of one another when he was four years old. He is the youngest of five children: John and Daniel still reside in Russia; Mrs. Katie Finck of Tripp, S. D.; Eva is Mrs. George Mettler of Lodi; and George, our subject. When he was seven years old he accompanied his sister Katie to America and settled in Hutchinson County, Dakota Terirtory, where he remained until he was fifteen years old; then he worked for his brother-in-law, George Met- tler, for six years until he was of age, then started out for himself. Most of Mr. Preszler's education was obtained in the "school of hard knocks," for he was fifteen years old when the first Government school was estab- lished in South Dakota. With the thrift and indus- try of his forbears, Mr. Preszler had saved sufficient money with which to purchase a half-section of land in Hutchinson County, S. D.. which he farmed to grain for eleven years when he sold out and set his face toward the Golden State, arriving on February IS, 1901, and coming direct to San Joaquin County he purchased his present ranch of 154 acres. In Hutchinson County, S. D., on December 12, 1889, Mr. Preszler was married to Miss Margareta Schnaidt, also a native of South Russia, a daughter of John and Katherine Schnaidt. John Schnaidt was a farmer and Mrs. Preszler was three years old when she was brought from Russia to South Dakota, where her father homesteaded land. They are the parents of eight children: Edward is a vineyardist near Lodi; Emma is Mrs. Kirschenmann of Victor; William resides at Victor, Cat.; Henry is on the home place; Alena; Ida; Martha; and Lenhardt. When Mr. Preszler purchased his ranch it was a stubble field and all the improvements on the ranch have been made by him, including his fine residence and vineyard. Of the original acreage, he gave his son Edward forty acres; William thirty-seven acres; to his daughter Emma, now Mrs. Kirschenmann, he gave a ten-acre vineyard; and his son Henry a forty- acres piece. Mr. Preszler retaining the remainder, which is considered among the finest vineyards in the state. In national politics Mr. Preszler is a Republican and he and his family are members of the Reformed Church. He has served as a member of the Victor school board. He is a good example of what hard work, saving and enterprise can do when persistently followed, for he is rated as one of the wealthy vineyardists of the Lodi country.
