CARLETON LEONARD KATZENSTEIN
CARLETON LEONARD KATZENSTEIN.--Prominent
among the most representative business firms of Sacramento, Messrs. C. L. Katzenstein & Company, insurance brokers, with offices
at 618 ½ J Street, enjoy an influence always exerted in favor of progress, and
well directed through the experienced senior member, Carleton Leonard Katzenstein, a native of Sacramento, he having been born
here on September 12, 1890. His father
was George B. Katzenstein, who had come to Sacramento
as early as 1866, having married Miss Ida M. Richards. Now she is enjoying the fruits of long years
of arduous labor, but Mr. Katzenstain passed away in
1909.
Carleton
Katzenstein attended the Sacramento
grammar and high school, and then matriculated at the University
of California; but owing to
impaired health, he was forced to abandon his studies there. At the end of a year and one-half, having
recuperated, he joined F. S. Peck, as his collector. He afterwards solicited insurance for Mr.
Peck, and a year later the business of the F. S. Peck Insurance Agency was
incorporated, and he acted as its secretary until January 1, 1921, when the
incorporation was dissolved, and the co-partnership of C. L. Katzenstein & Company was formed. He was secretary of the Progressive Business
Club of Sacramento, now the Exchange Club of America.
In
October, 1911, Mr. Katzenstein was married to Miss
Ethel Mampel, of Orangevale,
who shares with her husband the pleasure of his work as secretary of the Sutter
Fort Parlor of the Native Sons of the Golden West. He has also been a member for many years of
the McNeill Club, a men’s chorus. He is
fond of baseball, and alive to all the other opportunities in Sacramento
County for outdoor sport, and
neglects no opportunity to foster health-giving pastimes for the public
generally.
