Isaac A. Christlieb

1834–1917

Isaac A. Christlieb (Friedrich Carl Christlieb1, Carl Christlieb2, Isaac Christlieb3) [967], born 25 April 1834. Isaac immigrated to Long Lake, Minnesota in 1855, being one of the pioneers of the locality. “He served as Clerk and Assessor of the Town of Medina, Hennepin County, Minnesota. The Christlieb Family, p. 30.

“The son of Isaac Christlieb, Isaac A. Christlieb was born in 1834, seventeen miles west of Carlisle in Cumberland County, Pennsylvania, near Doubling Gap. He received his education in the public Schools of Mifflin Township. His early home was in a farming community. In 1855, at age twenty-one, he set out for the west and settled in Long Lake, Minnesota, where he spent forty-three years of his life as a farmer and at some later time acquired carpentering skills.”

“In 1897, he came to California and located in Pasadena, where he followed his trade as a carpenter for seven years. He then came to Orange County and purchased forty-nine acres in Fullerton, on March 24, 1903. This was undeveloped land with scrub growth and many rocks. It took hard labor to improve this land. As written in the “History of Orange County, published in 1911, Isaac A. Christlieb said in an interview that he had thirty-five acres planted to oranges and hoped to have all forty-nine acres in orchard by 1912. He also stated that from 63 trees he received a profit of $200 during the 1909 season.”

“Isaac A. Christlieb was married to Susan Baird in 1859. Born in 1837, she died in 1877. She was from Clark County, Ohio. This marriage ended in divorce. Isaac married Alice Whittaker. She died in Los Angeles in 1902. Isaac died in Fullerton on May 25, 1917 and is buried in the Rosedale Cemetery in Los Angeles where his third wife is also buried.” Clyde J. Christlieb, Placentia, California, August 1994.
