LOUIS F. SANGUINETTI
A public-spirited citizen of the
Peters district of San Joaquin County is Louis F. Sanguinetti, who devotes his
energies to stock and grain farming, his ranch being two miles east of Peters. He was born near Stockton August 7, 1882, the
youngest son of Angelo and Giovanna (Zignego) Sanguinetti, and was only one year old when his parents
settled on the ranch, a portion of which he now owns and on which he makes his
home. He received his education at the
Everett district school in the neighborhood of his home, and as is usual with
farm-reared boys, at an early age was taught to work. When his father passed away in 1916, he was
fitted to continue the extensive farming activities. Angelo Sanguinetti was a man of sterling
worth to his community and his death caused sincere regret, for he was an
advocate of all progressive movements; two years later in July, 1918, the
mother passed away. Louis F. received 640
acres as his portion of the home place, which he has continued to farm to grain
and on which he also raises fine stock.
On September 1, 1911, at Stockton
Mr. Sanguinetti was united in marriage with Miss Louisa K. Delucchi, a native
of San Francisco, California, a daughter of Antone Delucchi, a California
pioneer. Two brothers of Mrs.
Sanguinetti, Joseph and Antone, reside in Stockton. In 1917 Mr. Sanguinetti entered into
partnership with Emilio Barrera, a native of Piedmonte, Italy, born May 18,
1893. He came to California in 1910 and
has continuously followed ranching since.
Mr. Barrera entered the service of the U. S. Army on November 2, 1917,
and served in the A. E. F. as a first class private in the 1st
Division, 2nd Signal Corps; he was sent to France and saw active
service in ten battles, and also served with the Army of Occupation at Coblenz;
he returned to the United States and was honorably discharged in August,
1919. The partnership of Mr. Sanguinetti
and Mr. Barrera has been productive of mutual benefit and the extensive and successful
grain and stock operations carried on have been proof of the richness of the
soil and ideal climatic conditions of the Peters district. Mr. Sanguinetti is a member of the N. S. G.
W. and the B. P. O. Elks, No. 218, Stockton.
