ROY R. STILGENBAUR.—One of the essentially representative members of the banking
interests of Brawley is Roy R. Stilgenbaur, assistant cashier of the Imperial
Valley Bank since 1913. He came to Imperial County in 1909, and is a native of
Baltic, Ohio, where he was born March 7, 1890, a son of Otto W. and Mary (Bader)
Stilgenbaur, who have been residents of Canton, Ohio, for over twenty years. The
subject of this sketch was educated in the public and high schools of Canton,
graduating from the latter in 1907. He then attended the Western Reserve
University of Cleveland, Ohio, for several years. Coming to Brawley while it was
in a primitive state, without sidewalks and ditch water running in the streets.
Where the plaza is situated, he became associated with Stahl Brothers, where he
remained for two years. He then formed a partnership with J. C. Gresser and
purchased the grocery department of Stahl Brothers. Mr. Stilgenbaur disposed of
his interest in the store to take up his present position with the bank as
assistant cashier, where he achieved success from the start. He was united in
marriage to Miss Grace Clinton in Los Angeles, California, July 4, 1915, and
their one daughter, Phyllis, was born September 27, 1916. Mr. Stilgenbaur is now
serving as secretary of the Brawley Merchants' Association. He is a Royal Prince
of El Oasis Temple No. 173, Dramatic Order Knights of Khorasson at El Centro,
California, and served as the first presiding officer of that temple, and has
the distinction of having been, in 1911, the youngest chancellor commander of
the order of Knights of Pythias in the United States. Mr. Stilgenbaur has always
given his influence in support of any measures that have tended to forward the
welfare of Brawley and Imperial County.
