KONRAD G. BAUMBACH
Numbered among the successful
viticulturists of the Lodi district of San Joaquin
County, K. G. Baumbach shows careful supervision and progressive methods in the
care of his fine seventy-two acre vineyard and orchard located on the
Woodbridge Road north of Lodi. He was
born in the rural district near Krem, south Russia, on March 6, 1872, the son
of George and Charlotte (Delk) Baumbach,
both parents natives of south Russia who came to
America and located in South Dakota, where they homesteaded land and there both
parents passed away.
K. G. Baumbach spent his boyhood on
his father’s farm working during vacation periods and attending the public
school in Hutchinson County during the winter months until he was twenty-two
years old, when he started out for himself by buying a half-section of grain
land adjacent to his father’s farm. His
marriage occurred at Menno, in 1893, uniting him with Miss Margaret Maas, born
at Krem, south Russia, the daughter of Gottlieb and Magdalena Maas, both
natives of south Russia who came to the United States and settled in South
Dakota when their daughter was a young girl.
In 1905 Mr. Baumbach sold his property in South Dakota and came to
California and began ranching. He has
owned different places, some of which he improved to vineyard and then
sold. He now owns an eight and
three-fourths acre vineyard in South Hutchins, where he resides with his
family. Mr. and Mrs. Baumbach are the
parents of eleven children: John, Ludvig,
Magdalena, Mathilda, Margaret, Martha, Fred, Ruby, Otto, Benjamin and
Phillip. In politics he is a Democrat,
and the family are members of the Seventh-day
Adventist Church of Lodi.
