FRED A. SANGUINETTI
A native son of California, Fred A.
Sanguinetti has been identified in a practical and successful manner with
agricultural pursuits during all his active
career. He resides on his thirty-five
acre vineyard five miles south of Lodi on Cherokee Lane. He was born north of Stockton on his father’s
ranch on June 20, 1871, a son of Stephen and Maria Sanguinetti, both natives of
Italy, who came to California in 1860 and first settled at Stockton; then the
father removed to the Waterloo district of San Joaquin County, where he
purchased 175 acres of grain land and immediately set about improving it. He was among the first to set out a vineyard
and orchard in that district. Fred A. is
the third in a family of eight children born to his parents. The father lived to be seventy-eight years
old and the mother is living, aged seventy-five years.
Fred A. Sanguinetti attended the
Franklin school at Stockton; and when the family removed to the Waterloo
district, he attended the Waterloo school.
He assisted his father on the home place until he was twenty-nine years
old, when he was united in marriage with Miss Corinda
Maresco, in February, 1900. She was born at Stockton and is a daughter of
Louis and Jennie Maresco, both natives of Italy. After his marriage, Mr. Sanguinetti spent one
year at his father’s home; then he took charge of his father’s twenty-five-acre
vineyard on the Eight-Mile Road out of Stockton, remaining there for two years;
then he purchased his present thirty-five acres of grain land, which he set to
Tokay and Zinfandel grapes. He has
installed a five-inch pump with a twelve-horse-power engine for the irrigation
of the vineyard, and a smaller one with a five-horse-power motor for domestic
use, and has also built a house and other farm buildings on his ranch. Mr. and Mrs. Sanguinetti are the parents of
two sons, Stephen and Leslie. Mr.
Sanguinetti is affiliated with the Red Men of Stockton.
