Thiele Family
Frederick Thiele and his family.
Frederick THIELE was born at Doncaster in 1855, the sixth child of Gottlieb and Phillipine Thiele who were pioneer settlers of the district. He attended the school conducted in the Lutheran Church at Waldau where Max Schramm was the teacher. The transfer of the school from Waldau to Main Road in 1864 was effected during the time of his attendance. After leaving school, Fred worked on the family orchard at Friedensruh, and grew up to become one of the district’s most successful orchardists.
Early in his life he was sent by his father for professional training in horticulture at the nurseries of J.C. and T.C. Cole in Hawthorn where he learnt various methods of plant propagation. Fred was an innovator and introduced better methods of management to make the orchard more profitable. He was also a mentor to his brothers Edmund and Alfred, who in later years with Fred, worked the family orchard in partnership. At one time Fred realigned a section of Ruffey Creek below the homestead, digging this out by pick and shovel. Evidence of this can still be clearly seen in the creek today.
