"THOMAS ALBONICO was born at Gravedona, Province of Como, Italy, June 13, 1871. His father was Bartholameo Albonico, a farmer who passed his entire life in Como, Italy. Thomas was reared on, the farm and educated in the public schools.
He remained at home assisting his parents until 1898, when he determined to try his luck in California, of which he had heard such good reports. In 1898 we find him working on a dairy in Marin County. In 1902 he came to Humboldt County and after working on a dairy at Blue Lake for four months he found the same kind of employment on Arcata bottoms, where he continued for three years.
Next he spent ten months at Freshwater and then returned to Arcata bottoms, where he continued as a dairy hand.
In January, 1908, Mr. Albonico had saved enough money to start in the business, leasing a farm of forty-one acres on the bottoms, where he ran a dairy of twenty cows. Two years later he gave the lease up and rented the Lafe Sidel ranch of forty-five acres, where he milked twenty-five cows for three years, and then sold his lease and brought his dairy herd to the John Bulwinkle place, where he is running a successful dairy of twenty cows.
He understands dairying and is a man that is well liked and favorably known. He is a stockholder in the United Creameries Company.
In Arcata June 6, 1908, occurred the marriage of Mr. Albonico, being united with Freda Schultz, a native daughter of San Francisco. Her father died when she was a year old and her mother married a second time, becoming the wife of John Bulwinkle, and the daughter always went by the name of Freda Bulwinkle.
Mr. and Mrs. Albonico have three children: Anna C., Bartholameo and Mary M. Fraternally he is a member of the Woodmen of the World. In national politics he believes in the principles of the Republican Party. With his family he is a member of the Catholic Church in Arcata."
