CHARLES ABERSOLD
Well known for his connection with
the business interests of the town of Mossdale, San Joaquin County, Charles
Abersold is the proprietor and half owner of a store and garage, located on the
Lincoln Highway, which has proven a most successful venture, for he operates a
lunch room in connection with his store; also the long distance telephone
station. His partner, S. Mauro, is in
charge of the garage, while Charles Abersold looks after the store and lunch
room. He was born near Beach City, Ohio,
March 27, 1875, and received a good grammar school education. After leaving school he worked for the Eagle
Machine Shop at Bucyrus, Ohio, and later was employed in the railroad shops in
the same city. In November, 1904, Mr.
Abersold came to California, direct to Lathrop, where his brother, C. C.
Abersold, whose sketch also appears in this work, had settled ten years
previous. C. C. Abersold first engaged
in the hotel business at Lathrop and Charles worked in his employ there as a
clerk for five years. After a trip back
east he returned to Lathrop and again worked in the hotel, after which he was
employed on the Stockton division of the Western Pacific Railroad. From 1914 to 1917 he ran the gas station and
store at the San Joaquin Bridge, which he sold out in 1917, and in 1918 in
partnership with S. Mauro, established his present business, which has been a
success financially and a boon to the travelers on the highway. In politics Mr. Abersold is a Republican and
he is the owner of considerable stock in the Coast Tire and Rubber Company of
Oakland. His usefulness in affairs and
his energy and ambition give him a broad and bright outlook for the future.
