CHARLES C. GEIGER
This well-known citizen of Sacramento,
Cal., was born of German parentage at Allegheny, Pa., in 1875, being the son of
William and Ernestine (Ploss) Geiger. His
father was a carpenter by trade before he came to America and found employment
at it during his active years in this country. In 1878 he brought his
family to Sacramento. Of his nine children, six are living. C. C.
Geiger was educated in public schools and at Atkinson's business college, in
Sacramento. During his school days he was employed in the mailing room of
the Sacramento Bee, and in 1893 he was employed by Schenuert
Brothers, wholesale dealers in cigars, as a bookkeeper, and has retained the
position to the present time. This is one of the reputable business
concerns of Sacramento, and Mr. Geiger's position is one of confidence and
responsibility.
November 5, 1902,
Mr. Geiger married Mabel Laing, of Sacramento,
who has borne him two children, Jeanette, August 22, 1906, and Marian, February
2, 1911. A republican in politics, Mr. Geiger affiliates fraternally with
the Elks and the Foresters. Mrs. Geiger is a communicant of the German
Lutheran church. The family is popular socially, and Mr. Geiger has
in many ways demonstrated his public spirit.
