Biographies
MANUEL JACINTO.
MANUEL JACINTO.--A worthy representative of the native sons of the Golden State, is Manuel Jacinto, who was born December 12, 1879, in Yolo County on a farm, the son of Marion and Carry (Silva) Jacinto. His father came from the Azores Islands to California when he was a boy, and settled on a ranch and farmed in various places in Yolo and Sacramento County. He passed away in 1911, his wife having died in 1902.
Manuel Jacinto was educated in the public schools of Sacramento County. He helped his father on the ranch, and when he became a young man he engaged in the wood-peddling business. His business has grown to such an extent, that he now has two large trucks which are used in making deliveries. He has engaged in the construction work of the state and county highway, and he and his partner built eighty miles of road. Although carrying on an extensive coal and wood business, Mr. Jacinto conducts an eighty-acre ranch, which is devoted to bean-raising. Mr. Jacinto is independent in his political views, casting his ballot in favor of the candidate whom he deems best fitted for the office, regardless of party ties. Fraternally, he is a member of the U. P. E. C. and I. D. E. S., Portuguese societies. He is deeply interested in the progress of his business and is a public-spirited and enthusiastic supporter of all measures proposed for the benefit of the community.
