ADOLPH CARIGIET
For the past twenty years Adolph Carigiet was prominently and successfully associated with the advancement of Stockton along the lines of building operations and his death on July 13, 1922, was a severe loss to his devoted family and the community. He was born August 7, 1871, in Canton Ticino, Switzerland, and in early boyhood learned the cabinet maker's trade, which he followed in his native land until he was eighteen years old. In 1889 he arrived in San Francisco and spent three years in that city following his trade, where he soon made a name for himself as an expert in his line; in 1902 he removed to Stockton and for twenty years was employed by such prominent builders as Messrs. Melvin, Daniels and Green; he also worked for the Union Mill Company for about eight years.
The marriage of Mr. Carigiet to Miss Albina Giannini was solemnized at St. Mary's Church, Stockton, April 29, 1903. Mrs. Carigiet is the daughter of John and Candida (Bertazzi) Giannini, both natives of Canton Ticino, Switzerland. Her father is now deceased and her mother's sketch appears in this history. Mr. and Mrs. Carigiet were blessed with five children: Esther, a graduate of the Stockton high school, class of 1922; Ethel, Alice, Eda and Lois, the latter being deceased. Mr. Carigiet was prominently identified with the construction of most of the modern homes in the Sunnyside Addition to Stockton, which was opened up about ten years ago by Mrs. Candida Giannini and which has become one of Stockton's most favored residential sections. The death of Mr. Carigiet was keenly felt by his devoted family and large circle of friends and the community where he was so well and favorably known.
