WALTER H. TEMPLETON
Twenty-two years ago Walter H.
Templeton came to Stockton and engaged in teaming and contract hauling, which
he has followed to the present time; he now owns two trucks and is so
dependable that he has all the work he can attend to. He was born in Colfax County, Nebraska, April
14, 1872, a son of Charles S. and Anna (De Long) Templeton, both natives of
Ohio. The father, Charles S. Templeton,
and family came to California in 1880 and located at Watsonville. He is a Civil War veteran and is now at the
Soldier’s Home at Sawtelle, California. All the education that Walter H. Templeton
received was gained in the public schools of Watsonville. While still a young boy he worked with
threshing gangs in Salinas Valley. In
1900 he located in Stockton where he began his teaming and hauling.
On March 23, 1898, at Salinas,
California, Mr. Templeton was married to Mrs. Elizabeth Seiffert,
a native of Stockton, a daughter of Lorenz and Lena (Fetter) Seiffert. Two
children have been born of this union:
Charles S., who married Miss Votz, born in
Stockton; and Ruth Augusta. Mr.
Templeton is a deputy constable for Stockton and in politics casts his vote for
the man best fitted for office regardless of party lines. Fraternally he is a member of the Woodmen of
the World of Stockton. Mr. Templeton and
his family reside in their own home at 1303 E. Lindsay Street, Stockton.
