Aaron Fleishhacker and Delia (Stern) Fleishhacker are names that San Francisco may properly hold in affectionate memory. Both were pioneers, conspicuous for good work and all those influences that exalt a community.
Aaron Fleishhacker was born in Bavaria, in 1820. He came to California during the gold rush period, for a time being identified with the general mercantile business at Forrest City and later at Carson City, Nevada. He was a man of energy, was prosperous, and after his marriage in 1857, to Delia Stern, he returned to California and located at San Francisco.
For a number of years he was intimately associated with that group of stalwart pioneer metropolitans known as the "Big Four" comprising O'Brien, Mackey, Flood and Hopkins. In 1880 Aaron Fleishhacker took up the business of manufacturing paper boxes, and to that line he gave his chief attention until his death.
