FRANK CECH.—Ranching in Imperial County during the past few years has progressed
on a colossal scale. Among those ranchers who have made a success of this
enterprise is Frank Cech of Westmoreland. Mr. Cech, located in Water Company No.
8, is the owner of eighty acres of very valuable land. His holdings has been
brought up to a high state of cultivation and command the attention of every one
owing to the many modern conveniences which are to be found there. Frank, the
subject of this review, came to Imperial County, January 15, 1911. He was born
in Moravia, Austria-Hungary, March 4, 1888, and received his education in his
native country, leaving school at the age of 19 years. While in his native land,
and immediately following his time at school, Mr. Cech was engaged with the
co-operative creamery for one year, and after severing his connection with that
concern Mr. Cech migrated to the United States. Following his arrival in America
he worked as a farm hand and also secured employment in a creamery in Iowa for
three years before coming to Imperial County. Mr. Cech's first undertaking in
this county was a dairy with twenty-three head of cattle, which he conducted
successfully until he purchased the present property. Mr. Cech at present
operates a dairy with eighty-five head of cattle on the place, which,
incidentally, is an enterprise bringing in lucrative returns. Mr. Cech was
married at Oxford Junction, Iowa, January 11, 1911, to Miss Mary Drozd of
Moravia, Austria-Hungary. As the result of this union three children have been
born in Imperial County—Mary A., Frank J. and Agnes B.
