CARL T. LIND
Activity and energy in business affairs have been the stepping-stones to Mr. Lind's success, and today he is the owner of 316 acres of the finest and most productive soil in central California, the greater portion of which is in vineyard. Carl T. Lind was born in Hartford, Conn., May 18, 1884, a son of Nels A. and Johanna (Douglass) Lind. He is the eldest of a family of eight children, and was a babe in arms when his parents came to California and settled in San Francisco, where the father engaged in the mercantile business for many years. The other members of the family are Minna, Andrew, Fred, William, Harry, Lena and Walter. Both parents are still living in San Francisco.
Carl T. Lind's education was obtained in the public school of San Francisco. When ten years of age he became a cash boy in the store of O'Connor & Moffitt, in San Francisco; and later he was a packer in a wholesale store in the Bay city, where he remained for eight years. In 1906 he settled in Lodi, working as a journeyman carpenter for a few years, and then engaged in general contracting and building in Lodi for twelve years, this proving a successful undertaking.
On August 1, 1904, Mr. Lind was married to Miss Jensiene Hauso, born in Schleswig-Holstein, Germany, who came to California in 1903. Mr. and Mrs. Lind are the parents of ten children: Carl, Robert, James, Arthur, Marie, Ethel, Albert, Lester, Chester and Merrill. In 1918 Mr. Lind became interested in buying and selling land, and also engaged in farming. His first purchase was ten acres east of the Houston schoolhouse, a part of the Northrop ranch; this ranch was in young vineyard. Mr. Lind later sold this vineyard, and from time to time bought and sold various places throughout the valley. Following are the properties he now owns: 100 acres southeast of Lodi on Harney Lane, part of which is in vineyard and part grain land; 106 acres north of Victor in which he owns a two-thirds interest, all in vineyard; forty acres two miles east of Youngstown, all planted to peaches; and seventy acres on Cherokee Lane, four and a half miles north of Lodi, all set to Tokay grapes; making a total of 316 acres in San Joaquin County. Besides his extensive land interests, Mr. Lind loans money to the farmers throughout the county, and is also engaged in the real estate business in Lodi. He is a Republican in politics. A self-made man, who has fought his own battles in the world, he has practical ideas of affairs. While not a member of any church, Mr. Lind lends his support to every good movement and measure in his community.
