JOHN B. ALEGRETTI, proprietor
of the Twelve-Mile-House, Castoria Township, was born in Italy, in 1849. He
came to America in 1862, landing in New York, remained but fifteen days, and
took the steamer to San Francisco, where he remained for two years, then came
to Stockton. He was engaged in fishing for the next eighteen years, catching a
great quantity of salmon and sturgeon. In the year 1864 he made considerable
money shooting antelope as they came to the San Joaquin river to slack their
thirst. He purchased his place in the year 1881. It is a neat little grocery
store connected with a saloon, situated twelve miles from Stockton, on the
Durham Ferry road.
