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.

Georg married Margaretha Schnaidt on 12 Dec 1889 in South Dakota, USA. Margaretha (daughter of Johannes Schnaidt and Katharina Mettler) was born in 1871 in Kassel, Odessa, Ukrayina; died on 19 Apr 1938 in Lodi, San Joaquin County, California, USA; was buried in Lodi Memorial Cemetery, Lodi, San Joaquin County, California, USA.
