JOHN H. FAGG
A man who has demonstrated his executive ability in many positions is John H. Fagg, the district manager of the Pacific Gas and Electric Company of Stockton, whose jurisdiction includes all of San Joaquin County and parts of adjoining counties, extending from Jackson to Tracy, Byron, Brentwood and the Delta section and as far north as Galt. He was born in St. Paul, Minn., December 31, 1883, and he was three years old when his parents arrived in California. He was educated in the public schools of Sacramento and Placer counties; later he took an engineering course in the Polytechnic school of San Francisco. His electrical career started in 1905 when he began working for the Central California Electric Company at Auburn, Cal. Starting at the bottom he worked his way up step by step to his present important position. After a short time he was transferred to Alta, Placer County, and became foreman; later was sent to Sacramento as division foreman and later construction foreman at Sacramento. In 1906 the company's name was changed to the California Gas & Electric Company. In 1914 he came to Stockton and was put in charge of the operation and maintenance department; later he became assistant manager of the San Joaquin district, in charge of the electrical department. On December 1, 1920, upon the resignation of J.W. Hall, Mr. Fagg assumed charge of all the activities of the big corporation in the San Joaquin district. Always courteous and affable, Mr. Fagg makes friends wherever he is.
Mr. Fagg's marriage occurred in 1914 and united him with Miss Marie C. Harney, a native of Lodi, Cal., her parents being pioneers of the Golden State. They are the parents of two sons, James B. and John H. He is a charter member of the Lions Club of Stockton and of Morning Star Lodge No. 68, F. & A.M.
