ALFRED STEHLI is one of the foremost and in point of residence one of the early
settlers in Imperial County. He is a representative of Switzerland, so many
members of which have become useful and substantial citizens of California. Mr.
Stehli has a good ranch of forty-seven acres in the Southside Water Company, and
came to Imperial in June, 1907. He was born in Canton Zurich, Switzerland,
February 6, 1881, a son of John and Salome Stehli. His father is deceased and
buried in his native land, and Mr. Stehli's mother still resides in the old
country. Mr. Stehli received his education in his native land and came to
America in 1903. He found employment on ranches for a time when he returned to
his native place and was married in Emsideln Canton, Switzerland, to Miss
Balbena Enz, October 3, 1910. Returning to Imperial County, he rented a ranch
and bought cows and engaged in the dairy business for five years, when he
purchased his present property. He raises crops for dairy purposes and has
thirty milch cows and sixty-five head of other stock. Mr. Stehli has improved
his holdings until now he has one of the model places in the county. Mr. and
Mrs. Stehli have two children: Emma, born in Imperial County, September 17,
1911, and Alfred, born in this county, November 18, 1912. Mr. Stehli is a
self-made man, as he started out in life on his own resources and through his
energy he has made a success financially.
