CHARLES MILOSLAVICH
A popular restaurateur of Stockton,
Charles Miloslavich is the owner and proprietor of a restaurant located at 328
East Weber Street. He is a native of
Dalmatia, born December 18, 1885 a son of Charles and Catherine
Miloslavich. The father of our subject
passed away two months before the birth of his son Charles; and the mother
still makes her home in Dalmatia, now aged eighty years. Nicholas Miloslavich, a brother of our
subject, was a soldier in the army of Austria and was severely wounded and has
been disabled, so remained in the old home with his mother; a brother, Atone,
left home for America and arrived in California in 1900; he secured employment
and sent money home for the passage of Charles, and in 1901 he arrived in New
York and came direct to Stockton, where he joined his brother. He soon found employment in a restaurant at
fifteen dollars per month, a part of which he laid by and in 1912 he had saved
enough money to buy an interest in a Weber Street cafe, and within three years
time he had purchased the interest of the other partner in the business, and
today is the owner of what is known as Charlie’s Popular Restaurant, and has
built up a prosperous business.
At Stockton in 1910 Mr. Miloslavich
was married to Miss Mary L. Capitanich, a daughter of
N. Captianich, a pioneer fruit and vineyard rancher
of San Joaquin County; she was born in Lead City, South Dakota, and was five
years old when her parents removed to Stockton, California. Three children have been born to Mr. and Mrs.
Miloslavich: Charles, Jr., Kathryn and
Robert. Mr. Miloslavich owns a residence
in North Crest at 647 North Baker Street; also another residence at 847 West
Park Street, and desirable real estate on East Street; in 1921 he sold his
Yosemite Lake property to the city of Stockton.
Mr. Miloslavich belongs to the Stockton Merchants’ Association and the
Chamber of Commerce, and fraternally is a member of the B. P. O. Elks, No. 218,
the Stockton Eagles and the Red Men.
