ADOLPH CARIGIET
For the past twenty years Adolph
Carigiet was prominently and successfully associated with the advancement of
Stockton along the lines of building operations and his death on July 13, 1922
was a severe loss to his devoted family and the community. He was born August 7, 1871 in Canton Ticino,
Switzerland and in early boyhood learned the cabinet maker’s trade, which he
followed in his native land until he was eighteen years old. In 1889 he arrived in San Francisco and spent
three years in that city following his trade, where he soon made a name for
himself as an expert in his line; in 1902 he removed to Stockton and for twenty
years was employed by such prominent builders as Messrs. Melvin, Daniels and
Green; he also worked for the Union Mill Company for about eight years.
The marriage of Mr. Carigiet to Miss
Albina Giannini was solemnized at St. Mary’s Church, Stockton, April 29, 1903. Mrs.
Carigiet is the daughter of John and Candida (Bertazzi)
Giannini, both natives of Canton Ticino,
Switzerland. Her father is now deceased
and her mother’s sketch appears in this history. Mr. and Mrs. Carigiet were blessed with five
children: Esther, a graduate of the
Stockton high school, class of 1922; Ethel, Alice, Eda and Lois, the latter
being deceased. Mr. Carigiet was
prominently identified with the construction of most of the modern homes in the
Sunnyside Addition to Stockton, which was opened up about ten years ago by Mrs.
Candida Giannini and which has become one of Stockton’s most favored
residential sections. The death of Mr.
Carigiet was keenly felt by his devoted family and large circle of friends and
the community where he was so well and favorably known.
