CHARLES E. HENCMANN
Among the energetic business men of Stockton Charles E. Hencmann occupies a position well to the front in commercial circles, and as cashier of the Sperry Flour Company is showing his ability and efficiency. He was born in Stockton on July 3, 1880. His father Charles was born in Texas and came to Stockton with his parents when he was one year of age. His paternal grandfather, William Hencmann, was one of the first blacksmiths in Stockton and carried on the business for many years there, being succeeded by his son Charles. The father, Charles Hencmann, married Miss Mary Fitzgerald, a native of Tuolumne County, Cal., a descendant of a pioneer family, and there are six living children in the family: Charles E.; John; Mrs. Margaret Allegretti; Mrs. Edith Nunley; Harold, and Mrs. Bernice Smith. The father, who died in 1920, was a member of the Knights of Pythias of Stockton, and the Exempt Firemen; his widow is still living.
Charles E. attended the Washington, Fremont and Jefferson schools and at the age of eighteen entered the employ of the Stockton Lumber Company as outside man and during this time attended night school where he took a course in accounting. Later when he entered the Sperry Flour Company he started in the germea department; then in the cereal department; next he entered the general office as shipping clerk, then was advanced to billing clerk, then to the grain desk and then to his present position of cashier, which he is filling with satisfaction to his employers.
Mr. Hencmann's marriage united him with Miss Della Schultze, a native of Stockton, and they are the parents of one son, Evan Charles. Fraternally Mr. Hencmann is a member of the Stockton Lodge of Red Men, in which he is past sachem. A young man of admirable qualities, he contributes his support to general progress and improvement as well as to individual success.
