JOSEPH M. SCHEIBR has achieved success in life as a result of his own efforts.
He has been upright in his business dealings and has now the respect and
confidence of his neighbors and associates in his community. Mr. Scheibr was
born in Switzerland in 1897. He acquired a limited education in his native land.
He is a son of Jacob and Anna Scheibr. Joseph M. came to America in 1903 and
located in Minnesota. Here he found employment for some months and later, in
1904, he removed to Los Angeles, where he remained for two years and worked at
the dairy business. In 1906 he came to Imperial Valley and worked out for
fifteen months at dairying. He then bought thirty cows and rented land for four
years at Imperial. He then came to the El Centro district, where he remained
three years on one place. March, 1913, he moved his dairy string to his present
place and purchased eighty acres with his brother, Ambrose, who was born
December 28, 1881. Scheibr Brothers now have a string of fifty cows. The subject
of this sketch was the first Swiss to locate in Imperial Valley, his brother
coming to the county two years later. Joseph M. was the first Swiss to purchase
cows and engage in the dairy business in Imperial County. The brothers are
progressive and up-to-date ranchers and have a well appointed place.
