HERMAN W. V. TECKLENBERG
HERMAN W. V. TECKLENBERG, a
native of Holstein, Germany, was raised in his native country up to the age of
fifteen, when he went to sea, following a seafaring life for about fifteen
years. On one of his voyages he came to California, in the spring of 1861, and
remained here about ten years, engaged in boating on the bay. In 1871 he came
to Elkhorn Township, San Joaquin County, and purchased his present property of
160 acres, situated three miles from Lodi, on the Cherokee Lane road. The farm
is devoted to the production of hay and grain. There is a small vineyard for
family use.
Mr. Tecklenberg was married in 1869 to
Miss Margaret Jurgens. They have a family of seven children, two boys and five
girls. He is a member of the I. O. O. F., Lodi, No. 250. When Mr. Tecklenberg
first came to California he had had no experience in farming, but the
appearance of his ranch showed that he was a man of ability and enterprise. He
has two brothers in California, one a resident of San Joaquin County.
