W. H. STEFFLER, County Treasurer of Calaveras county, California, is a native of
Germany. He was born in Wuerttemberg in 1837, and is the only child of Henry and
Frances (Brandecker) Steffler. From the age of six to fourteen years he attended
school, and in 1852, when fifteen years old, came to the United States and
located in New Orleans with his mother, who had preceded him to this country.
For one year he clerked in a grocery store in New Orleans, and then was engaged
as office boy in the St. Charles Hotel, that city, where he made money enough to
come to California. He landed in San Francisco, via Nicaragua, May 27, 1855, and
four days later went to Sacramento and became a waiter in a hotel. After
remaining there two months he went to Mokelumne Hill, where he was second cook
in a restaurant five months. He then began mining in Calaveras county, and
continued at this for some thirteen years. Then he clerked in J. Bangs' store in
San Andreas for about five years. At the end of that time he bought a ranch near
San Andreas and engaged in farming. Later he peddled fruit, and mined for two
years, when he engaged as clerk for Dasso & Tiscornia in San Andreas. Then he
turned his attention to mining again, and is at present interested in the German
Ridge mine near Altaville. In 1888 he was elected Treasurer of Calaveras county;
in 1890 re-elected, and at present holds the office, being a trusted guardian of
the county's funds.

   Socially, he is an Odd Fellow; politically, a Republican. He enjoys as yet
all that pertains to single-blessedness.
