ISAAC A. CHRISTLIEB.
As the name Christlieb would suggest it is of German origin, and means "for the love of Christ," and history has it that it dates from the siege of Belgrave, in 1717, when a lad whom Prince Eugene captured he so christened. This lad was Frederick John Charles Christlieb, the great-grandfather of the subject of this sketch. The martial spirit of this youthful soldier was strongly implanted in his second son, Frederic Charles Christlieb, who was born in Durham in 1751 and who became one of the faithful co—workers of George Washington, counting no sacrifice too great which would ultimately lead to the emancipation of the colonies from the tyranny of the Mother Country. Among the experiences which he passed through was the memorable winter of 1777—78 at Valley Forge, during which time the American army suffered untold hardships from hunger and cold, unfitting about half of the men for active duty. It is related of Frederic Charles Christlieb that he left the camp at Valley Forge barefoot and without hat or coat, bent on securing supplies to relieve the sufferings of his comrades. Of recent years a monument has been erected by the Daughters of the Revolution on this historic ground in memory of the soldiers who died in camp during that historic winter. The wife of this patriotic soldier, Catharine Umberger, was a native of Holland, who came to this country 'when a child, in or about the year 1765, settling in Philadelphia, Pa.
Among the children born of the marriage of Frederic Charles and Catharine (Umberger) Christlieb was Isaac Christlieb, who was born in Mifflin township, Cumberland county, Pa., in the year 1790. Imbued with the same spirit which had prompted his ancestors to defend their rights in a just cause, he too in his turn was no less valorous when the opportunity came, as was exemplified by his service in the Pennsylvania militia, during the second war with England in 1812.
The son of Isaac Christlieb, Isaac A. Christlieb was born in 1834, seventeen miles west of Carlisle, Cumberland county, Pa., near Doubling Gap. He received his education in the public schools of Miffiin township, after which his attention was demanded in a more serious direction, namely, the gaining of a livelihood. His early home being in a farming community, it was quite natural that he should turn his attention to this employment, and he continued to follow farming as long as he remained in the east. At the age of twenty-one, in 1855, he set out for the west, at that time locating in Minnesota, and it was in that state that the following forty-three years of his life were passed, first as a farmer, and latterly as a carpenter, having in the meantime become proficient at the trade. His identification with the far west dates from the year 1897, at which time he came to California and located in Pasadena, following his trade of carpenter there for seven years. He then came to Orange county and purchased the land which he still owns and cultivates near Fullerton, two and one-half miles southwest of the town. At the time of purchase no attempt had been made toward its cultivation, and much laborious work has been put upon it between that time and this. However, he now has thirtyfive acres planted to oranges, and it is his purpose to have the entire tract of forty-nine acres in orchard before the year 1912. From sixty-three trees alone he received a profit of $200 during the season of 1909.
Mr. Christlieb's first marriage united him with Miss Susan Baird, who passed away in 1876, having become the mother of two children, Frankie and May E., both of whom are deceased also. Later Mr. Christlieb was married to Miss Mary E. Classen, and two children were born of this marriage also, Alexander J. and Benjamin H., both tillers of the soil, and the latter a resident of Minnesota. The third marriage of Mr. Christlieb united him with Miss Alice Whittaker, a native of Indiana, who passed away in Los Angeles in 1902. During the progress of the Civil war Mr. Christlieb was living in Minnesota, where he rendered commendable service as first lieutenant of Company A, participating in the Sioux massacre. In this attack the Indians massacred twelve hundred whites in three days, and so great was the white man's fear of the Indian's treachery, that for two years thereafter it was deemed necessary to guard the homes of the settlers. Politically Mr. Christlieb is a Democrat, as was also his brother, Benjamin F. Christlieb, who was a representative in the state legislature from the eighth district of Minnesota for two years. His later years were passed in California, and his death occurred in Los Angeles in 1900. Mr. Christlieb has one sister living, in Oregon, Holt county, Mo., at the advanced age of eighty-nine years. Ever since taking up his residence in Orange county Mr. Christlieb has been warmly interested in measures for the upbuilding of his community, and all who are privileged to know him, admire him for his many stable qualities of mind and heart, and for the good that he has accomplished since coming into their midst.
