HARRY BOTTINI
A native son of San Joaquin County
who has devoted his efforts very successfully to agricultural pursuits since
arriving at manhood’s years is Harry Bottini.
He is the owner of the twenty-one-acre home place near where he was born
August 9, 1893, in Morado precinct, a son of Giovanni and Dominica Bottini,
both natives of Genoa, Italy. Giovanni
Bottini was a young man of twenty-eight years when he came to this country and
after arriving in California he worked at hydraulic mining at La Grange, then removed to San Joaquin County where he bought twenty
acres some seven miles northeast of Stockton in the Morado district. This ranch he developed to an orchard of
walnuts and peaches with about six acres in vineyard. There were seven children in the family: Bert, deceased; Filda,
Mrs. Solari, resides in Stockton; Antonio, deceased;
Harry, the subject of this sketch; Linda, Mrs. Armondo
Costa, deceased; Edith, Mrs. Secondo Costa, resides
in Stockton; and Irene, Mrs. Augusto Lagomarsino, who
has a daughter, Esther. The father
passed away in 1918 at the age of sixty-three and the mother in 1911 at
forty-eight years of age. Harry Bottini
received his education at the Greenwood district school in the vicinity of the
home place and since he was sixteen years old helped his father run the home
ranch. After the death of his father he
bought the interests of the rest of the family, so that he is now the owner of
the home place of twenty-one acres of vineyard and orchard. His sister Irene and her husband make their
home with him on the ranch. Harry
Bottini has many warm personal friends and has established a reputation as an
excellent agriculturist, and has become a valued citizen of the county. He is a Republican in his political views.
