K.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.
