Edward Reasbeck
 
As a citizen of progressive spirit and good business ability Mr. Reasbeck has 
attained both prosperity and influence during his long residence in Yolo county, 
his many friends and associates fully appreciating his qualities of honor and 
manliness and his example of public interest.  Born November 3, 1842, in 
Pomerania, Prussia, Mr. Reasbeck was educated there and later became a railroad 
employee.  After fifteen years of faithful service he decided to leave his 
native land and cast his fortunes in America.  He landed in New York City in 
1882, and from there came to Woodland, Yolo county.  Here for two years he 
engaged in farming and fruit raising, and then removed to the foothills of Butte 
county, where he purchased thirty acres, which he still retains.  In 1905 he 
took up his residence in Winters, where he owns one and three-ninths acres, upon 
which is located his present comfortable residence.  
 
In 1866 Mr. Reasbeck married Miss Helena Neamann, also a native of Prussia, and 
to their union two children were born:  William Carl Theodore, a fruit grower 
near Winters, and Maria Wilhelmina Johanna, also a resident of Winters.
 
Mr. Reasbeck is a stanch Republican, prompt to aid all public movements of 
worth, and as an active member of the Christian Church of Winters takes a 
prominent part in the betterment of social conditions.
