EMILE S. SANGUINETTI
One of the best-known sheep men in
San Joaquin County is Emile S. Sanguinetti, a native of the county, born on
June 23, 1888. His parents, James and
Mary (Lagomarsino) Sanguinetti,
were both natives of the Genoa district of Italy; the father came here in the
early days and engaged in raising vegetables, later acquiring a ranch of 320
acres at Peters, where he farmed and raised draft horses for many years, and
was also interested in viticulture at Lodi, but he is now retired from active
ranch life. He and his wife were the
parents of eight living children, four sons and four daughters.
Emile S. Sanguinetti attended the
Peters, Linden and Farmington schools, but started to work on the ranch at an
early age, guiding a plow before he was old enough to harness a horse. He remained on the home place until 1911,
when he came to Stockton and entered the employ of the Joe Gianelli Company,
driving a delivery wagon. He worked up
through the various departments, from salesman to manager of the wholesale
department of the company and was one of their most capable men. In July, 1918, while still connected with
this firm, in company with his father-in-law, Frank Parker, he bought a band of
800 sheep and in October of that year he resigned his position to give his
entire time to sheep raising, in which he has been
very successful. His cousin, Louis
Sanguinetti, purchased Mr. Parker’s interest about this time and the partners
now have 1,800 sheep and a rented range of 900 acres near Peters.
Mr. Sanguinetti’s
marriage united him with Miss Julia Parker, who was born in this county on her
father’s ranch near Peters. They have
two children, Parker and Euretta. In addition to his interests in sheep raising, Mr. Sanguinetti also has valuable real estate
holdings in Stockton. In fraternal life
he is a member of the Red Men and Eagles.
