Charles Tomaier - Not lacking occupative training in his native land of Bohemia, Charles Tomaier learned to be a practical and experienced butcher under his father, who taught him every detail of that business. Nor had he lacked an education in his native tongue, for he had been graduated from a gymnasium in 1886 and had been reared in habits of frugality and self-reliant industry. His father, Joseph, died in 1911 in Bohemia, where the mother, Barbara, still makes her home. All of the five children are still living, Charles being next to the youngest among the five, and he was born May 6, 1864, at the old family homestead in Klenec, Bohemia, where he passed the uneventful years of childhood and youth. Often as he assisted his father in the meat market he heard people tell stories about the new world and its opportunities and early in life he determined to cross the ocean as soon as he could start out for himself in the world. It was during 1886 that the hoped-for opportunity came to him and he was enabled to take passage on an ocean steamer which brought him to New York. Thence he went west as far as Chicago and secured work in a large packing house.
The years spent in Chicago were filled with the most arduous labor and constant hardships associated with the struggle to earn a livelihood, but it was not until 1900 that he gave up work with the large beef companies. At that time he came to California and settled in Mojave, where he has since remained, meanwhile erecting two cottages and the Mojave lodging house. During the first year in this place he engaged in mining. Next he was employed in the freight and round-house of the Southern Pacific Company. Upon resigning that position he secured the agency for the Maier Brewing Company of Los Angeles, which he still holds, besides which, since November 1, 1912, he has been agent for the Wieland Brewing Company. In addition he has established and now conducts the Mojave soda works, where he is engaged in the manufacture of soda and mineral waters for sale in the town and surrounding country.. Since coming to Mojave he has been a local worker for the Democratic party and has identified himself fraternally with the Bakersfield Lodge of Moose. While living in Chicago he was united in marriage with Miss Mary Stradel, a native of Bohemia. Four children comprise their family, namely" Louis, Mary, Charles and Blanche.
