Emil Augustus Neresheimer (1847-1937) was a prominent member of the Aryan Theosophical Society who supported William Quan Judge and later Katherine Tingley. He was a diamond broker. His daughter married Ernest Temple Hargrove.
Neresheimer served as an agent of Mrs. Tingley in searching for land in Point Loma, California, where the Lomaland community was later situated.
In 1893, after the World's Parliament of Religions, he and his wife Minnie hosted the Society's delegation as they assembled in New York. Maude Ralston, Alexander Fullerton, Miss F. Henrietta Müller, C. J. Strauss, and Mrs. Ella Judge were listed among the party.
