ISAAC G. KRIEGER
The owner and proprietor of a fine, modern garage at Lodi, Isaac G. Krieger has the agency for the Ford and Lincoln automobiles for Northern San Joaquin County. He is a progressive, enterprising and thoroughly up-to-date man of affairs, especially in his chosen line. He was born in Hastings, Neb., March 11, 1883, a son of George and Elizabeth (Miller) Krieger. The father was a stockraiser on a large scale. When Isaac was a small boy, the family removed to Kansas, where he attended grammar and high schools and later the Southern Normal College in Oklahoma. Isaac G. and a sister, Rachael, were the only children of this worthy couple. Both parents reside near Lodi at the present time. The family removed to Hitchcock, Okla., when Isaac G. was a young man, and during the eighteen years of his residence there he became a prominent and highly esteemed citizen, serving as mayor of the city, director of the school board, and during the World War was chairman of the Liberty Loan drive committee, as well as the chairman of the county Council of Defense. For eleven years, Mr. Krieger conducted a grain, insurance and mercantile business; then he went into the automobile business, owning and operating stores in four different places in Oklahoma, one at Fairview, one at Watonga, one at Hitchcock and one at Okeene.
The marriage of Mr. Krieger occurred at Hitchcock, Okla., on February 8, 1907, and united him with Miss Matilda Weitz, a native of that city, a daughter of G.B. Weitz, a machinist by trade, who is now deceased. Her mother is still living. There are six children in the family: Reuben, Manuel, Otto, Charles T., Andrew, and Matilda, Mrs. Krieger. Mr. and Mrs. Krieger are the parents of three children, Woodrow, Isaac Glen, Jr., and Thelma, and the family reside on South Cherokee street, Lodi. In 1919, Mr. Krieger removed with his family to Glendale, Cal., where he purchased a sixty-acre vineyard, but later sold it and removed to Lodi, where he soon established an agency for the Maxwell, Chalmers and Overland automobiles; then he purchased the automobile business of Mr. Seebe, which he has converted into a modern automobile house, having a floor space of 90x150 feet for the display of Ford and Lincoln automobiles, and his business is steadily assuming very satisfactory proportions. He is a Republican and a member of the Seventh Day Adventist Church in Lodi.
