AUGUST V. WULFF.—Prominent in the agricultural activities of Imperial County,
August V. Wulff has achieved success as a result of his own efforts, and he has
been earnest and upright and has the esteem of all who know him. Mr. Wulff is a
native of Sweden and was born May 6, 1861, a son of Adam and Jennie Wulff. Both
parents are deceased, having passed away in Sweden when August V. was but a
small boy. At the age of eleven August V. came to the new world with his aunt,
Dorothy Wulff, and remained at her home in Missouri, where he assisted in
farming. He received a limited education in the country school in his locality
and at the age of sixteen Mr. Wulff went to Texas alone. Here he found work on
the cow ranches and at farming. Later he took up forty acres of school land. He
improved his holdings for a period of four years when he sold out in 1897 and
came directly to the Imperial Valley. In 1906 he took up eighty acres and his
wife filed on one hundred and sixty acres near Signal Mountain. Mr. Wulff held
his eighty for five years, when he disposed of the land and now devotes his
entire attention to farming the 160 acres. This place has been brought up to a
high state of cultivation. A substantial residence and other buildings have been
erected. Mr. Wulff has his place largely in cotton, but has a portion planted to
alfalfa. He can boast of six head of the finest work horses to be found in
Southern California. He was married June 4, 1908, to Theresa Schaniel, a member
of one of the respected and pioneer families in the Valley. Politically Mr.
Wulff is independent and in his political views he always supports the man and
not the party. The family are members of the Catholic church of El Centro and
take an active part in church work. Mr. Wulff has spent his life in hard,
faithful labor and he is now beginning to reap the reward of his continual
efforts. He started at the foot of the ladder and by his own efforts he has,
through energy and business foresight, accumulated a handsome competency.
