NICK YLARRAZ
A thoroughly progressive and
up-to-date hotel man is found in Nick Ylarraz, the
genial proprietor of Hotel Central, located at 124 West Main Street,
Stockton. He was born on his father’s
farm in the Pyrenees Mountains, Spain, July 5, 1883, and his education was
obtained in the district schools of his neighborhood and his spare hours and
vacation periods were spent in helping on the home farm. When he was twenty-two years old in 1905, he
came to the United States and located in Nevada, where he spent two years
herding sheep; then the following six years he herded sheep in Oregon; then he
located in Lassen County, California, where he worked in a saw mill of the
Westwood Lumber Company for three years.
He then removed to Reno, Nevada, and spent three years in business
there. About three years ago he located
in Stockton and on November 14, 1919, entered into partnership with Vic Bodaya in conducting Hotel Central, which has proved to be
a profitable and successful undertaking.
From a business standpoint he has been successful, and at all times he
has been straightforward and honorable in all the relations of life.
The marriage of Mr. Ylarraz united him with Miss Felicia Zandeweta,
a native of the same country as her husband and they are the parents of one
daughter, Theresa.
