BENJAMIN A. SCHONEMAN is one of the progressive ranchers of Imperial County, and
has attained success in his chosen vocation. His activities have brought about a
wonderful change in his place, and he is now renting 100 acres of choice land in
Water Company No. 5. Mr. Schoneman came to Imperial in the fall of 1908. He was
born in Capac, Michigan, March 10, 1886, a son of Gotfried and Minnie Schoneman.
The family are of German origin and came to America over sixty years ago. Both
parents are deceased and are buried in Michigan. The father of Mr. Schoneman was
among the sturdy pioneers of his locality. Benjamin A. acquired his education in
the public schools where he was born. He assisted his father on the home place
until he was twenty-one. He then worked at farming for seven years and has made
a success in growing barley and corn. He also is largely interested in the hog
business. Politically Mr. Schoneman is independent and always votes for the man
irrespective of his party. Mr. Schoneman has a large circle of friends and
acquaintances in his locality. Mr. Schoneman married March 27 1918, Miss Violet
Barwise, a daughter of Mr. and Mrs. William Barwise, residing at Ontario,
