CYRIAK HERMLE

    Through years of identification with Yolo county, to the development of
which he has contributed materially, Mr. Hermle has become well known as a man
of unquestioned honor and enterprising spirit, his good judgment and rare
business ability having placed him among the most influential citizens of Winters.

   A native of Germany, Mr. Hermle's birth occurred August 7, 1862, in
Wurtemberg, where he received his education, spending his youth on the farm of
his parents, John and Ursula Hermle, also of German nativity. Having completed
the shoemaker's trade, at the age of eighteen years, led by a determination to
win both wealth and freedom in the land of opportunity, the son immigrated to
America, securing a position as a shoemaker in Cincinnati, Ohio, where he
remained six months. In 1881 he came to Yolo county, Cal., and for six years
worked on a ranch, prior to his purchase of a quarter section of land nine miles
north of Capay, which he operated until 1902, when he sold out and bought his
present place of five hundred and sixty acres six miles northeast of Winters.
His peach and almond orchard cover twenty acres and he also raises other fruit.
In addition to his own highly cultivated and productive ranch he leases seven
hundred acres, which he devotes to grain raising. He gathers his crops with a
combined harvester, the motive power for which, as well as for plowing and
harrowing, is supplied by a caterpillar engine. He also at one time engaged in
raising cattle and sheep.

    In 1886 Mr. Hermle was married to Miss Corne Stall, a native of Germany and
the daughter of Charles L. and Kate (Latch) Stall, who ultimately became
residents of California. Two children were born to Mr. and Mrs. Hermle, Frank
and Adolph. Mr. Hermle maintains a deep interest in political issues, is active
in all public enterprises demanding conservative judgment, and with his family
enjoys membership in the Catholic Church of Winters, which receives his hearty
support.
