JOHN A. LECHLEITER, manufacturer of all kinds of farming implements, wagons,
carriages etc., at Winters, is the son of George (a native of Lorraine, France)
and Geneva (Krenzberger) Lechleiter, a native of Germany. His father is now
running a wholesale tobacco store in Lincoln, Illinois. He was born in 1854, in
Louisiana, within fifty miles of New Orleans, and came to California in 1870,
landing in Sacramento. After residing there a year he went to San Francisco and
remained there until 1877, when he married and went to Honolulu. While in San
Francisco he built the omnibus for the Lick House, and also for the Baldwin
Hotel and the Russ House, also many other large transfer wagons and hacks, and
he prosecuted the same trade also in Honolulu. Returning from the Sandwich
Islands in 1879, he opened a carriage shop at Maxwell's in Colusa county, in
April, 1881, where he flourished for eight years; and then, in 1889, he settled
in Winters, Yolo County, where he has a fine shop and a prosperous business. The
works are run by a ten-horsepower engine, the model for which he had made by Mr.
Williams, of Colusa County.

  Mr. Lechleiter married Susan M. Webster, a native of Tennessee, in Oakland,
November 29, 1877, and their two children are Emma Elvira, born February 17,
1880; and Frank T., August 30, 1881.
