From the public domain book:
History of San Mateo County, California
, published in 1883
John K. G. Winkler
The subject of this sketch was born in Prussia,
December 21, 1829. In 1855, he emigrated to Australia. Having learned the
trade of coachmaker in his native country, he followed that occupation while
in Australia. He came to this state in 1869, arriving on the 5th day of May
in that year. After a stay of three weeks in San Francisco, he came to Woodside,
where he opened a shop a short distance below where his present place
of business is located. In 1882, he erected a frame building sufficiently large
to accommodate a wagon and blacksmith trades, manufacturing wagons and
carriages, besides carrying on a general wood and iron repairing for the farmers
and teamsters of the surrounding country. He married Maria Hoehne,
a native of Prussia, and they have five children; John T. C, Louis E. H.,
Earnest, Bertha and Ferdinand.
