FRANK BREITENBUCHER
An industrious rancher is Frank Breitenbucher, now the owner of 740 acres of fine farmland four miles to the south and two miles to the east of Clements. He is a native son, who first saw the light near Stockton, in San Joaquin County, on May 23, 1867. His father, Christopher Breitenbucher, came to California when he was twenty-two years old, and engaged in teaming out of Stockton. He later went to farming, and took up government land, but never proved up on it. He died at the age of fifty-nine years, while his devoted wife lived to be sixty-two. Their family, in order of their birth, is as follows: C. A., J. C., and H. W. Breitenbucher, the elder brothers; Frank, our subject; Alex; Clara, Mrs. F. M. Rowe; and E. E. Breitenbucher.
Frank grew up on the home farm about thirteen miles due east of Stockton, and attended the old Enterprise school. With his four brothers he farmed for years a ranch of 3,000 acres in the Grant School District in San Joaquin County. About twenty years ago he started to farm by himself; and since then he has been cultivating from 1,600 to 1,800 acres of grain land. He bought 740 acres and the balance he leased; and today he owns about 1,000 acres. On the farm of 740 acres about seven miles southeast of Clements, he built a home and added other improvements in the shape of excellent farm buildings. This home was erected about six years after he had married at Stockton on April 22, 1902, Miss Harriett Cottrell, a native of San Joaquin County and the daughter of Isaac and Anna Cottrell. One son has blessed this union, Warren Breitenbucher.
Frank Breitenbucher has engaged in the stock business in a small way, and he also has about 150 head of sheep. He is a patriot, through and through, and during the late World War served as one of the captains in the Liberty Loan bond drive in the eastern section of the county. He is a Republican, but always and foremost a free American. He belongs to the Clements Lodge of Odd Fellows, in which he is a past grand, and he is also a member of the Lodi Encampment of Odd Fellows, and with his wife a member of the Rebekahs.
