ANDREW J. BONA
Thirty-one years of the life of
Andrew J. Bona have been spent in Stockton, where by close application to
business and well-directed energy he has gained success, being now the
assistant cashier of the Bank of Italy in Stockton and accounted one of the
substantial citizens of this section. He
was born at Amador City, California, December 29, 1889. His father, a California pioneer, passed away
in 1891; and during the same year Andrew J., then two years old, was brought by
his mother to Stockton. Here he received
his education at St. Mary’s College; later, in 1907, graduating from the
Western School of Commerce. Following
his graduation, he entered the employ of the Holt Manufacturing Company as bookkeeper,
where he remained for one year. In
April, 1910, he entered the San Joaquin Valley Bank as a messenger boy. He became bookkeeper, and then teller; and he
is now assistant cashier and has full charge of the foreign-collection
department of the Bank of Italy in Stockton.
Fraternally he is a member of the Stockton Parlor No. 7, N. S. G. W.;
the Stockton Elks, No. 218; the Knights of Columbus; and the Stockton Italian
Club. Mr. Bona is a busy man, but finds
time during the vacation period each year to spend some time in fishing and
hunting, which are his favorite sports.
