On the roll of successful vineyardists of San Joaquin County will be found the name of Fred T. Kirschenmann, his home place lying about one mile north of Victor. His birthplace is in South Russia, near the city of Odessa, and the date of his birth is August 11, 1892. He is a son of Theobold and Magdalena (Schreiber) Kirschenmann, farmers of their native country of Russia, who were the parents of five children: Christ, Christina, Magdalena, Theobold, and Fred T.
Fred T. Kirschenmann received his education in Russia. When he was sixteen years old, he came to the United States, and to Lodi, California, arriving here on December 11, 1907. He worked for different farmers, mostly at viticulture, and was thus occupied until 1915, when he decided there was little to be gained by working for others. Accordingly he purchased ten acres one mile north of Victor, which is in full-bearing vines, and here he has met with gratifying success.
The marriage of Mr. Kirschenmann occurred in Lodi on November 19, 1915, and united him with Miss Emma Preszler, a daughter of George Preszler, whose sketch will be found elsewhere in this work. She was born at Menno, South Dakota, and came to Victor when eight years of age. She received her education in the Lockeford schools. Mr. and Mrs. Kirschenmann are the parents of one son, Leon Adam. In 1923, Mr. Kirschenmann purchased a ten-acre vineyard one mile west of his place, and Mrs. Kirschenmann received a ten-acre vineyard from her father, making them thirty acres of highly improved land. He is also leasing twenty-five acres of vines, which he also operates. A fine, modern bungalow has just been completed on their home place. Mr. Kirschenmann has brought his ranch to a high state of cultivation, and the productivity of their vineyards is enhanced by a fine irrigation system. Mr. Kirschenmann is a Republican. He and his family are members of Salem Reformed Church, of Lodi. Without special advantages at the outset of his career he has worked his way steadily upward, with determined purpose and untiring efforts.
