In 1826, in the small town of Pheddersheim Germany,
along the Rhine River, Jacob Schram was born. He came
from a winemaking family. When he was sixteen the
young Schram immigrated to New York. He was educated
in the trade of barbering, and, in 1852, sailed across
the Caribbean, crossed-over the Panama Isthmus, and
continued up to San Franscico. He spent the next several
years barbering, eventually moving his way north,
to the Napa Valley.
