• Notes

  JOHN KIRSCHENMANN. Among the additions to the ranks of the agriculturalists of San Joaquin County is John Kirschenmann, who resides on his 160-acre ranch, four miles southwest of Lodi. He was born in Yankton County, S. D., August 24, 1875, a son of Jacob and Eva (Bender) Kirschenmann, both natives of Southern Russia who settled in South Dakota in 1873. Jacob Kirschenmann acquired 480 acres under the homestead, timber claim and preemption acts and besides this he also purchased additional farm land. The mother died in young womanhood, leaving the husband and father with five children: Ludwig resides at Shafter, Cal.; Christina, Mrs. George Schaffer, is deceased; Jacob resides at Yankton, S. D.; John, the subject of this sketch; Eva, Mrs. Nuss, resides in South Dakota. Subsequently the father married again and reared ten children by his second wife: Christian, Karl, Magdaline, Theopold, Edward, Emma, Eugene, Emil, Manuel, and Benjamin. John received a grammar school education in the district schools of his native county and grew up on his father's farm, and there received a practical knowledge of agriculture. At the age of twenty-two he began farming for himself and was soon afterward, in November, 1897, married to Miss Christina Bender, a daughter of Phillip Bender, who was also a farmer in South Dakota. Mr. Kirschenmann purchased 160 acres in South Dakota, where the family lived until 1904, when he sold his property and came to California and settled on his present ranch of 160 acres. This ranch is situated on the Stockton Highway some four miles southwest of Lodi, on which there is a producing vineyard of twelve acres and the balance is used for grain and pasture. He also bought eighteen and one-half acres opposite his home ranch and thirty acres near Hawes Station and eighteen and one-half acres in vines on Cherokee Lane, near Lodi. Mr. and Mrs. Kirschenmann are the parents of seven children: Henry, Theodore, Pauline, Lydia. Ella, Arthur, and Edwin; and the family are members of the German Reformed Church of Lodi. During Mr. Kirschenmann's residence in South Dakota he served as a school trustee of his district and also as a trustee in his church. He is a Republican in politics.
