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 operatess 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 busineess 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 & Rubber Company of Oakland. His usefulness in affairs and his energy and ambition give him a broad and bright outlook for the future.
