GEORGE FREDERICK SAUER was born in Bavaria, Germany, in 1836. He spent his 
boyhood and was educated at this home. In 1856 he came to New York city, 
remaining there for two yeas. In 1858 he journeyed to California, coming to San 
Luis Obispo. It has here that he met his future wife, and was married April 23, 
1862. Four children were the result of this union, two of whom are now living, a 
son and a daughter. Mr. Sauer was engaged in the bakery and grocery business, 
and made San Luis Obispo his home until his death which occurred July 31, 1873. 
He served as City Treasurer during the years 1865 and 1866. The subject of this 
sketch was a man of the strictest integrity, and, as the proprietor of one of 
the earliest places of business in the city, occupies an important position in 
its history.
