David Baumbach—A well known citizen and prosperous vineyardist residing about one mile north of victor, is David Baumbach, who was born at Olivet, in Hutchinson County, S. D., on May 9, 1894, a son of George and Charlotte (Delk) Baumbach, both natives of southern Russia who came to South Dakota from the Crimea, filed at timber claim and located a homestead.
David Baumbach acquired his early education in the schools of South Dakota, and resided there until he was thirteen years old, when he came with his father to California.

The father passed away in 1920, but the mother died when David was a boy of ten years, in 1904. After arriving in California, David had the privilege o attending the Salem school in Lodi for three years, and then for a time attended the Emerson school. His father had purchased twenty acres of land; and when sixteen years old, David began taking care of it. When twenty-one he started out for himself. He became possessed of ten acres and later added ten acres more, so that now he had twenty acres in a fine vineyard about one mile north of Victor, on which he had erected a fine bungalow. He had an irrigating well and a pump that throws 750 gallons per minute, driven by an electric motor.
On January 5, 1916, at Lodi, occurred the marriage of Mr. Baumbach, which united him with Miss Marie Young, a native of Marion County, Kan., born near Ramona, a daughter of John and Elizabeth (Scheideman) Young. John Young resided in Kansas for thirty years previous to coming to California and the parents now reside on a ranch on Kettleman Lane, near Lodi, and are prosperous and well-known.

He was then sent to Camp Mills, N. Y., where he was transferred to Company L, 163rd Infantry, of the 41st Division. He was sent overseas during December of 1917 and spent Christmas on the ocean; landing in Liverpool Christmas eve, he was sent to Camp Morn Hill at Winchester, then to Southampton and across the channel to France. His company spent three months in guard duty at Bordeaux, and then Mr. Baumbach was transferred to Company G of the 127th Infantry and trained for one month preparatory to going to the Vosges sector, where he was stationed at St. Marie in Alsace, in the defensive sector. He went into action in the ChateauThierry and Aisne-Marne drive and was wounded in the leg. After spending three weeks in the hospital he was able to rejoin his company and was in the Argonne offensive. He was again wounded on October 3, 1918, by a piece of shrapnel that tore a hole through his left wrist. He was sent to the hospital, where he remained six months. He spent thirteen months overseas, returning to the United States during January of 1919, and was discharged May 1, 1919, at the Presidio at San Francisco and returned to his home in Victor. His wife had made her home with her parents in Lodi while her husband was overseas. On his return, they moved onto their ranch, and since then he has given all of his attention to viticulture.
