CARMASSI
GUGLIELMO G. CARMASSI.--A resident of Sacramento County since 1901, Guglielmo G. Carmassi was born in Tuscano, Italy, August 20, 1884, where he spent his early life on the farm and attended the excellent school in his locality. In 1901, when sixteen years of age, he emigrated to California. For a short time he worked on the farm at Colfax, but the same year he came to Sacramento and found employment in the Phoenix Hotel and Cafe where he continued for a period of twelve years. He then leased Riverside Inn and for five years made a success as proprietor of that hostelry. Removing to Placer County he became proprietor of the Allen Cafe near Auburn until 1919, when he purchased a ranch at Loomis, where he is raising fruits. His orchard and vineyard of twenty acres, which he still owns, is a model and in splendid bearing condition. In 1921 he came to Hood, leasing Hotel Netherlands, where he is making a specialty of Italian and French dinners, the cuisine being excellent. It is a popular place and well patronized.
In Sacramento, December 1, 1910, Mr. Carmassi was married to Nellie McLaughlin, who was born in Nevada County, Cal., a daughter of Frederick McLaughlin, a mining man. She was reared and educated in Sacramento and is ably assisting her husband in his business enterprise. Their union has been blessed by the birth of two children: Delores and Frank. Fraternally Mr. Carmassi is a member of the Eagles in Sacramento.
