CHARLES HENRY STOHLMAN
An energetic, progressive and successful farmer of the vicinity of West Butte–another of the many Germans who have made good in California, finding here greater opportunity, and blessing the country of their adoption through their consecrated toil, is Charles Henry Stohlman, who was born near Hamburg, Germany, May 1, 1863. He is the son of Caspar Stohlman, a farmer, who had married Fraulein Louisa Foss; and both parents lived and died in the Fatherland, Mr. Stohlman reaching his seventy-first year, and his good wife attaining seventy-two years of age.
In 1880, Charles Henry Stohlman came into Sutter county and settled at West Butte. For five years he worked for Frederick Tarke, before starting to farm for himself. He then leased a section of the Tarke ranch and farmed to grain, in 1887; but two or three years later he settled about four and one-half miles north of West Butte, buying at first some 360 acres, some of which he later sold to the Gun Club for hunting grounds. Now he has 290 acres, which he farms to grain.
On May 1, 1892, Mr. Stohlman was married, where he now resides, to Miss Anna Gilpatrick, who was born in that vicinity, the daughter of Frank Gilpatrick, a native of Maine, and his good wife, who in maidenhood was Anna Cilley. After the death of her father, Anna Gilpatrick was reared by A. S. Noyes, of Noyesburg. Three children were born of this happy union: Alta, Mrs. W.W. Weller, of Yuba City; Allen, at Gridley; and Anna Lena. Mrs. Stohlman is clerk of the board of trustees of the Noyesburg district school. Mr. Stohlman is a member of the Elks at Marysville. In political affiliation, he is a Republican.
