CARL F. NEUBOLD
No business man could be better versed in the
line of his own enterprise than Carl F. Neubold, one
of San Jose’s most successful citizens, the proprietor of the Home Bakery,
which is favorably known throughout the city and surrounding country. Of a
family of seven children, four of whom are living, he is the third in order of
birth and the only living son of his parents, Andrew and Catherine (Ruckert) Neubold, both of whom
were natives of the fatherland. He was also born in Baden, Germany, November
19, 1875, and when ten years old his parents brought their family to the United
States. In the same year Carl F. Neubold came to San
Diego, Cal., where he attended the public schools. While still a lad he began
an apprenticeship to learn the trade of locksmith, but not liking the business
he gave it up after fourteen months. In 1892 he came north to San Francisco and
was apprenticed in Bamford’s Home Bakery, where he
remained two years. He then went to Marysville and secured employment with
Hill’s Bakery and remained with them from 1894 until 1899, holding the
responsible position of foreman. In the last named year he located in San Jose
and engaged in the bakery business for fifteen months, where he again removed
to San Francisco and spent the ensuing eight months. Returning to this city he
entered the employ of the Hornbuckle Bakery as
foreman, in which position he remained until January, 1904, when he purchased
his employer’s interests and has since conducted the business alone. His retail
store is located at No. 143 South First street, where
he carries a full line of bakery goods, chief among his productions being the
celebrated home-made bread. His bakery is thoroughly equipped in a modern and
up-to-date style, and with a capacity ample to supply the demand. He is meeting
with success which follows a concentrated effort, and has a large trade.
In Marysville, Mr. Neubold married Kate McElroy, a native of Bakersfield, Vt.,
and of this union were born two children, Anna and Gwyndoline. In his political convictions, Mr. Neubold is an adherent of the principles advocated in the
platform of the Democratic party. In the line of his
business interests he is a member of the Master Bakers’ Association of San
Jose.
