FRED GATELLI
The junior member of the realty firm
of Leonardini and Gatelli, located in the Realty Building on South San Joaquin
Street, Stockton, Fred Gatelli was born in San Francisco on August 28, 1897. He is a son of Antonio and Marie (Camacia) Gatelli, natives of
Italy, but who have been citizens of the Golden State for many years. In 1903 Antonio Gatelli came to San Joaquin
County and bought 150 acres of land in the Weber Tract and planted it to vineyard
and met with success in his venture as a vineyardist. In 1915 he retired and spent the remainder of
his days in Stockton. Mrs. Gatelli is
still living and is the mother of eight children. The home ranch is still in possession of the
Gatelli family.
Fred was educated in the schools of
the Bay City and followed various lines of business until he formed his
partnership with Mr. Leonardini; since then he has met with the most gratifying
success as a realty dealer. His marriage
united him with Miss Marie Mantovain, a native of
Italy, and she died leaving a daughter, Eleanor Marie. Fraternally Mr. Gatelli is a member of
Stockton Parlor No. 7, N. S. G. W. He is
always ready to do his part to promote the best interests of Stockton and
vicinity and by upright dealings has won the confidence of all with whom he has
business dealings.
