FRANK D.
SCHULER
FRANK D. SCHULER, a farmer of Sutter Township, was born in Switzerland, July 15, 1850, a son of Carl D. and Regina (Appert) Schuler; was reared in his native place, and in 1872, after spending eight months in France, emigrated to the United States, landing at New York. He worked in dairies, three years near St. Louis, Missouri, then, coming to California, he resided in San Francisco four years, on a dairy. Coming then to Sacramento, he opened a saloon on K street, between Front and Second, and ran that two years. In 1881 he purchased his present place in Sutter Township, between the upper and lower Stockton roads, about four miles from the city. The ranch contains fifty acres, and is devoted principally to fruit-raising, and partly to hay. There are apples, fine grapes, strawberries, blackberries and Bartlett pears, all of which are bearing. On arriving in this country Mr. Schuler had nothing; but as he has always been a hard-working man and a good manager, he has acquired a fine and productive place. He was married in 1880 to Babette Stadler, a native of Switzerland, and a woman of excellent worth. She came to the United States in 1872, worked in the States about six years, visited the old country for half a year, and came to California about eleven years ago. Mr. and Mrs. Schuler have two children, namely: Barbara, born December 5, 1888; and Frank Antoine, April 12, 1885.
