JOHN GEORGE MAISEL
A man who by honest toil and close application to business made a success and who enjoyed a large place in the confidence and esteem of his fellow citizens was the late John George Maisel. He was a native of Catonsville, Md., was born in January, 1856, and was reared and educated there. After leaving school he learned the butcher's trade at Catonsville in all its details and opened up his shop and successfully operated his business until 1880. In Catonsville on September 7, 1880, he married Miss Mary Ann Hahn, a daughter of Frank and Julia (Simon) Hahn. The young people came to the Pacific Coast on their honeymoon intending to remain only a short time in Stockton, but remained for two years, Mr. Maisel meanwhile working at his trade in the El Dorado Street market. Returning to his native town in 1882, he sold out his interests and in 1884 returned to Stockton for his permanent residence. He established the New California market on El Dorado Street; then in 1893 he moved his market to North Hunter Street, a few doors from the present Maisel market. The Maisel Meat Company is now carried on by the son of the founder and many new branches have been added; the company now owns a chain of four shops in Stockton and have their own slaughter house on the Linden Road.
Mr. and Mrs. Maisel are the parents of one son, Owen L., who married Eleanor Laumeister. During the late war he served with the 319th Engineers in France. Mr. Maisel passed away on April 21, 1917, at the family home in Stockton, mourned by his devoted family and a host of friends. He was at all times interested in the development of his locality, and his sterling qualities of mind and heart made him well liked and esteemed by all who knew him.
