EDWARD PRESZLER.?California is noted
throughout the world for its splendid orchards and
vineyards; and conducting important business enter-
prises along these lines are many men of activity
and energy, who in this department of labor have
gained desirable success. Of this class is Edward
Preszler, a prosperous vineyardist residing in the
vicinity of Victor. He was born in Hutchinson
County, S. D., on January 7, 1891, his parents being
George and Margareta (Schnaidt) Preszler, both na-
tives of southern Russia, born near Odessa. The
former came to America with an older sister when he
was seven years old, his parents having died when
he was three years old. The mother came with
her parents from Russia when she was three years
old. They were reared in Hutchinson County, S. D.,
and there they were married. Geo. Preszler, when
a boy of fourteen years, went to work for his brother-
in-law, and for six years worked for him steadily. At
the end of that time he had saved $1100. His wife
received $500 from her parents, and with their com-
bined capital they purchased 240 acres and began
grain and stock raising, adding to their original farm
until they had 320 acres. In 1901 they came to Cali-
fornia with their family, arriving in Lodi in Febru-
ary of that year. He purchased 154 acres, a stubble-
field, near what is now Victor; and with the aid of
his children he improved it to vineyard. In time the
whole ranch was improved. Since 1921 he and his
wife have lived retired in Lodi.
Edward Preszler is the eldest in a family of eight
children, the others being Emma, Mrs. Kirschen-
mann of Victor; William, residing at Victor; Henry,
on the home place; and Allina, Ida, Martha and Len-
hardt. Edward Preszler spent the days of his boy-
hood in the place of his nativity, residing there until
1901, when he came with his parents to California
and attended the Harmony Grove, Alpine and Locke-
ford schools, in the interim between school terms
assisting his father on the home ranch.
The marriage of Mr. Preszler occurred on August
3, 1913, in Lodi, and united him with Miss Ella Heil,
a native of Hutchinson County, S. D., and a daugh-
ter of Peter and Caroline (Neuhardt) Heil, both na-
tives of Russia. Her father, Peter Heil, came to the
United States in 1887, and her mother was only one
year old when she was brought by her parents to
America. Peter Heil is prominent as a successful
vineyardist and independent packer of San Joaquin
County, and has also been prosperous as a buyer and
seller of vineyard property. They were the parents
of eleven children, only seven of whom are now liv-
ing. Emanuel and Ella were born in South Dakota;
and Leodine, Freda, Theodore, Eugene and Regina
are all natives of California. Mr. and Mrs. Preszler
are the parents of four children, Bertha, Alfred, Irene
and Raymond Reuben.
Mr. Preszler continued to aid his father on the
home ranch until he was twenty-two years of age
when his father assisted him in the purchase of his
first ranch, the present place of forty acres on Locust
Avenue. A part of the place was set out to vineyard,
and Mr. Preszler continued the development. It is
now all in a full-bearing vineyard with a small or-
chard, a good, comfortable residence, and suitable
farm buildings. In 1920 he purchased five acres in
vineyard just outside the city limits of Lodi; and
again in 1921 he purchased a ten-acre vineyard south
of Kettleman Lane on the Alpine school road. HisEdward married Ella Heil on 3 Aug 1913 in Lodi, San Joaquin County, California, USA. Ella (daughter of Peter Heil and Karolina Neuhardt) was born on 5 Jun 1895 in South Dakota, USA; died on 27 Nov 1952 in Lodi, San Joaquin County, California, USA. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]
