WILLIAM WOLFSKILL SABICHI
William
Wolfskill Sabichi is a member of one of the Los
Angeles County’s old
and highly honored families, being a son of the late Frank and Magdalena (Wolfskill) Sabichi, specific mention of whom
is made above. He was born in Los Angeles, California,
April 15, 1883, and is one of the thirteen children who blessed the union of
his parents, six of whom are still living in this state. He received his education in private and
public schools, completing his scholastic work at St. Vincent College. For a number of years he was successfully
engaged in the handling of oil securities, and at the present time is actively
interested in the development of this great Southern
California industry. Since
1922 he has been secretary and general manager of the Sabichi estate, which he
has handled in an able and judicious manner.
The Sabichi Company, a family holding, was incorporated December 27,
1922, with the following officers: Dr.
George C. Sabichi, president; Dr. Joseph R. Sabichi, vice president; William W.
Sabichi, secretary and manager; and Mrs. Beatrice Mitchell, treasurer. The directors for the company include the
above mentioned officers together with L. M. Sabichi, Dr. H. A. Putnam and
Arthur C. Hurt.
On the 1st
of August, 1911, in Los Angeles, Mr. Sabichi was
united in marriage to Miss Irene Kelly, of San Francisco. They make their residence at 2107 Ocean Avenue
in Santa Monica.
Mr. Sabichi
is a stanch republican in his politic views but is nevertheless a great admirer
of President Roosevelt. He is keenly
interested in public affairs, though in no sense a seeker after the honors of
public office. He is a member of the Los
Angeles Athletic Club, Santa Monica Athletic Club and the Casa Del Mar Beach
Club. His religious faith is that of the
Roman Catholic Church. Though quite and
unassuming in manner, he is a man of high civic and social ideals and commands
the respect of all who have dealings with him.
