An energetic and successful business man of Stockton is John L. Bernadicou who conducts a French hand laundry at 828 North El Dorado Street. His birth occurred in Arette, Basses-Pyrenees, December 3, 1874, a son of Pierre and Marie (Hayet) Bernadicou, both natives of that place. There were nine children in the family: Valentine, Bernard, Grat, John Louis, our subject, Marie Theresa, Madaline, Marie Louise, and the two younger children who died in infancy. The father lived to be eighty-four years old and the mother seventy-one. John L. Bernadicou received a public school education, then spent three years in the French army in the 24th Field Artillery; he then went to Paris and worked for one year and spent one year at Nojentsur-Marne. In June, 1899, he arrived in Stockton where he worked for his brother in the French Hand Laundry at 140 South California Street, later at 224 East Fremont Street; he then purchased the business and three years ago he erected the modern building at 828 North El Dorado Street, where he has successfully conducted his business with gratifying results.
