When a young man, the father made a trip to South America, remaining four years, but during a cholera epidemic he returned to Italy, where he has since engaged in farming. They were the parents of four children: Pietro, the subject of this sketch; Clara, Mrs. Giannone; Jennie, Mrs. Alberti, and Louise. Pietro attended the grammar school in Chiavari and was seventeen years old when he left for the United States. </font></span></font></p><p><font face="helvetica"><span style="font-family: 'bookmanoldstyle','serif'; font-size: 10pt"><font face="arial,helvetica,sans-serif">When he arrived in Stockton he soon found ranch work and with characteristic industry and economy was soon able to purchase land where he began to farm for himself. Eight miles northeast of Stockton he bought twenty acres of stubble field, which he has improved and which affords him a fine income. His irrigating plant at first consisted of a five-horsepower engine, but this was replaced with a five-horsepower electric motor and still later with a ten-horsepower motor which drives a four-inch pump. Mr. Sanguinetti also built a residence where he and his family reside.</font> </span></font></p><p><font face="helvetica"></font><span style="font-family: 'bookmanoldstyle','serif'; font-size: 10pt"><font face="helvetica">On November 14, 1911, in Stockton, Mr. Sanguinetti was married to Miss Carrie Cadamartori, born on the Linden Road six miles from Stockton. She is the daughter of Jack and Rose (Molinari) Cadamartori. The former came to California from Italy about forty years ago and for seven years was lumbering in the Sierras and then purchased thirty-two acres in partnership with another man; later this ranch was divided and Mr. Cadamartori received sixteen acres as his share. In 1920 he sold his ranch and now resides in Stockton. There were five children in the family: Carrie, Mrs, Sanguinetti; Emma. Mrs. Cassasa residing in Manteca; Winifred, Mrs. Joseph Gotelli, deceased; Antonio, and Irene. Mr. and Mrs_ Sanguinetti are the parents of two children, Raymond and Helen; they are members of the Catholic Church and Mr. Sanguinetti is a member of the Giardenieri Lodge in Stockton.</font></span></p>
