GEORGE LE FEBER
A successful viticulturist of the Lodi district is George Le Feber, who was born on January 6, 1866, in Milwaukee, Wis., where he was reared and educated. For many years he followed the dairy business near where he was born. During the year 1904 he came to California and settled first in Fresno, where he remained for two years; then, in the fall of 1906, he came to Lodi. His first real estate purchase was thirty acres, bought from Dr. S.R. Arthur; and one year later he added twenty-four acres, making a total of fifty-four acres. His ranch is about evenly divided between orchard and vineyard, his orchard being of assorted fruits, peaches, plums and almonds, and his vineyard being entirely devoted to the Tokay variety of grapes. He has improved his ranch with a modern system of irrigation, with a fine pumping plant which produces an ample supply of water for all irrigation purposes, thus enabling him to bring his property to a high state of productiveness.
The marriage of Mr. Le Feber united him with Miss Daisy M. Dana, a native of Wisconsin, and they are the parents of four children: Georgia S. and H. Lucile, both graduates of the State Normal School located at San Jose, and both teaching in the public schools of Lodi; and Lloyd D. and Francis Elizabeth, students in the public schools of Lodi. Mr. Le Feber has been actively identified with the educational affairs of his community for many years, serving as a member of the Lodi grammar school board of trustees for six years and now serving his eighth year as a member of the Lodi public library board. Fraternally, he is a member of the Modern Woodmen.
