ELLMORE S. CLANCY
The horticultural interests of San
Joaquin County are indebted to Ellmore S. Clancy for his active co-operation
and progressive spirit in irrigation development and general advancement of the
locality where he resides. He was born
at Acampo, California, on December 31, 1891, and is one of the three Clancy
brothers who have demonstrated what intelligence and hard work will accomplish
along horticultural lines. He is a son of John H. and Fanny (Towne)
Clancy. The father was a representative
and active farmer for many years in San Joaquin County; and later he conducted
a merchandise business in Acampo.
Ellmore worked as a clerk for nine years in stores at Acampo and in its
environs. His education was received in
the grammar and high schools of Lodi and his knowledge of horticulture began on
his father’s farm.
The marriage of Mr. Clancy occurred
on February 3, 1914, in Lodi, California, and united him with Miss Elvena
Sanguinetti, a daughter of Stefano and Mary Sanguinetti, both living on a ranch
one mile northeast of Acampo. Mrs.
Clancy attended the Elliott grammar school and is one of a family of seven
children. The sketch of her brother
James Sanguinetti appears in this work.
Mr. Clancy owns a thirty-acre ranch, which is planted to almonds, and
which he has brought to a high state of cultivation and productiveness. His equipment for irrigating this tract of
land consists of a four-inch pump operated by a motor. Diligence and determination have
characterized Mr. Clancy’s operations, and have enabled him to advance steadily
toward the goal of prosperity.
