This gentleman is well known among the prominent business men of Santa Cruz. He came to California, USA in 1853, and ten days later located in Santa Cruz, where he has since resided continuously. He is a native of Haigerloch, Province of Hohenzollern, State of Prussia, and was born September 11, 1833. His education was obtained in his native village. After graduating from a college of some local repute, at the age of fifteen he was apprenticed to learn the dry goods business. He remained in the dry goods business until he was twenty years old. In September, 1857, he started for America, arriving in Cleveland, Ohio, USA, where a brother resided, on the 2d of January, 1852. This trip was an eventful one, as he was fifty-six days in an emigrant ship on the Atlantic Ocean, and four weeks on a vessel which was frozen in Lake Erie. This long and tedious trip so depleted the young man's finances that, notwithstanding the most rigid economy, when he arrived in Erie he lacked two cents of having enough money to buy his ticket to Cleveland. The ticket, however, was supplied him for the sum that he had, and he arrived in Cleveland, Ohio, USA, safe and sound, without a penny. Remaining in this place about a year working in a dry goods and clothing store, he started to California, USA via the Isthmus. Arriving in the State he went to Pine Grove, in Sierra, and took charge of the mercantile business there, and six months later bought out the business, which was conducted under the firm name of J. Bernheim & Bro., the subject of this sketch having charge of the mercantile business, while the brother was engaged in mining. He remained here until 1864, following mercantile and mining pursuits. In 1863 he made a trip through California, USA and in the spring of 1864 returned to Santa Cruz, which he previously visited, and established the business, which has now grown into one of the most important in the county, and which is well known throughout the State as the "Bernheim Company." When he came here, he bought out George Otto's stock of goods on Front Street, in a brick building. The stock of goods was worth about $3,000, to which $2,000 worth more of goods were added. The capital stock of the Bernheim Company is now $100,000.In 1868 he returned to the home of his youth, in the old country, and married Miss Babette Levy. This important event occurred in August, 1868. She was the playmate of his boyhood and the friend of his youth, having been born and reared in his native city. He shortly afterwards returned to Santa Cruz, where he and his wife have reared a family of seven children. The children are: Melville, aged twenty-two; Harry, twenty; Louis, eighteen; Milton, sixteen; Percy, fourteen; Julian, twelve, and Flossie, ten. The family later moved to a home on the corner of Locust Street and Chestnut Street so that Jacob could be nearer to the business district.
