Pauli, G. T. The subject of this, sketch whose portrait appears in this work,
was born in Australia, August 18, 1827. but moved with his parents to Hamburg,
Germany, when quite young, and there received his education. At the age of
twenty-one he proceeded to Rio de Janeiro, but, on hearing of the discovery of
gold in California, he transferred his location to Valparaiso, there to await a
confirmation of the intelligence. In January 1849, he left that city for the
land of gold, and arrived during the last days of May of that year in San
Francisco. His first employment was as clerk for Lewis Adler, in Sonoma. In
November 1849, he left that position and established a business of his own
there, in partnership with Francis Schultze, which was continued until 1852,
having branch stores in Napa and Santa Barbara, with an office in San Francisco.
In December of that year Mr. Pauli became the sole proprietor of the Sonoma
establishment, which he managed until the Summer of 1855, when, disposing of his
interest to L. Kamp, he commenced a wholesale grocery business in San Francisco,
having associated with Mr. Janssen; this firm was dissolved in 1857. After
residing on his farm in Sonoma valley for a space, in 1858 he re-opened a store
in the town of Sonoma, which he still continues. In 1869 he was elected by the
Democrats to the office of County Treasurer for two years. In 1871 he was
re-elected by the same party; in 1873 he accepted the same nomination, and was
the only one elected on the tax-payers' Ticket; in 1875 he was defeated for the
same office on the Independent ticket, and in 1879 received the nomination on
the Democratic ticket for the State Treasurership, which he declined on account
of failing health. He is still a resident of the town of Sonoma, though in 1876
he moved his residence to Santa Rosa while holding office. Mr. Pauli married,
January 14, 1852, Eliza Silva, a native of Chili, who died March 17, 1872, by
whom there was a family of six children, three of whom are now alive.
