RUDOLPH G. MANGELS.
Rudolph G. Mangels holds a high place among the successful fruit raisers of Solano county, for he has given thoughtful
and intelligent direction to his work and has devoted himself indefatigably to the improvement and cultivation
of his ranch. A native of Solano county, he was born on his father's farm on the state highway on the 18th of May,
1889. His parents are Louis and Mina (Schroder) Mangels, both of whom still reside here, though the father is now
retired from active business affairs. He came to San Francisco at the age of fourteen years, remaining there until
he was twenty three years of age. He then bought a place near Cordelia, comprising two hundred and sixty acres
of good land, to the cultivation of which he devoted himself assiduously until his retirement, enjoying splendid
success. He grew many grapes and had a well equipped winery on his place, making large quantities of excellent
wine.
Rudolph G. Mangels was educated in the public school at Cordelia and the high school at Suisun. He then devoted
himself to the home farm, assisting his father for a number of years, and later bought his present place, which
is located on what is called the lower road, planting it mainly to fruit. He is well informed on horticultural
subjects and thoroughly understands the cultivation and care of fruit, so that the success which has crowned his
efforts has not been accidental but has been the reward of his persistent and well directed labors. He has made
a number of fine improvements on the farm and has a very comfortable and attractive home.
Mr. Mangels was married to Miss Myra McCade, of Chicago, and they are the parents of three children. Politically
Mr. Mangels has given his support to the republican party and has been intelligently interested in public affairs,
keeping in close touch with the current issues of the day. He is above all a home man but is also a lover of outdoor
life, being particularly fond of hunting and fishing.
