CHARLES De CARLI
A native son born in Stockton April
13, 1872, Charles De Carli is the son of Charles De Carli, who was born in
Canton Ticino, Switzerland. Having been
left an orphan he came to Stockton, California, when twelve years of age, and
was in the employ of Antonio Galgini’s fish market
where he learned the business so that later on he started a business of his own
as a dealer in fish, poultry and eggs, being located on Weber Avenue.
Here he continued in business and
was on the high road to success when he was stricken in death from smallpox at
the age of thirty-two years, having already accumulated considerable
property. He had married a native daughter
of San Joaquin County, a Miss Isadora Versallo, whose
parents were California pioneers, and she passed away at the age of forty-two
years, leaving two children, Charles of this review, and
William Tell.
On completing the grammar school, Charles
became a clerk in the grocery store of Granville Bros., continuing with them
for twenty-five years, becoming one of their most valued employees. Resigning his position in 1916, he entered
the employ of the city as janitor of Franklin School, the Board of Education
having sent for him to accept the place, as it was an exceptionally difficult
place to fill. However, he discharged
his duties satisfactorily for four years and then was transferred to the street
department and soon afterwards to the park department and he is
now in charge of Columbus Park. Mr. De Carli’s marriage occurred in Merced County, where he was
united with Rosa A. Vacaro of that county, and they
have one daughter, Mrs. Madeline Christy of Stockton. Mr. De Carli is prominent fraternally being a
member and treasurer of Iroquois tribe of Red Men and has served as secretary
and treasurer of the board of relief of the Red Men for this district for the
past ten years. He is also a member of
the Independent Order of Eagles, having been a member of its board of
directors. The U. P. E. C. also numbers
him among its members. He has been
active as a Republican, having served about twenty years as a member of the
