F. H. VOIGHT.—Though not a native of this country, the subject of this sketch is
thoroughly Californian in his methods and in spirit. He was born at Brockum,
Province of Hanover, Germany, September 13, 1863, his parents being William and
Minnie (Meierrohl) Voight. He was reared at his native place, and in accordance
with the customs and regulations of the country attended the government schools
between the ages of six and fourteen years. After completing this course, he
started in life as a workman in the field of agriculture, which he followed
there until he had reached the age of twenty-one years.

   In 1884 he came to the United States, and, proceeding direct to California,
brought up at Modesto. He has ever since been identified with Stanislaus county.
In 1885 he rented from his uncle, Henry Voight, a ranch about six miles east of
Modesto, which he cultivated for three years. During the six years following he
handled a ranch about six miles distant from his present location. Since the
fall of 1891 he has been in possession and control of 640 acres of the T. K.
Beard place, where he now is. Mr. Voight devotes this land all to grain growing,
to which it is well adapted. He is a thoroughly practical farmer, and has been
doing business on his own account ever since attaining his majority.

   Mr. Voight is not connected with any secret order. He was reared in the
Lutheran Church, and is now a follower of that creed. He is unmarried.
