On this day in Mendocino history…

May 28, 1926 – Well-known blacksmith Emil Seman died. Born in Germany in 1856, he apprenticed as a blacksmith before coming to America in 1879. He began his long career in Mendocino with Jacob Stauer in the early 1880s before taking a position as blacksmith with the Mendocino Lumber Company. Four years later, he purchased half of Stauer’s business and their partnership continued until Stauer’s death in 1893. Seman then assumed full ownership of the business.
