DAVID CASARETTO

   It was a piece of very good fortune that M. Caton, of Atwater, was able to
get such a capable and efficient manager as David Casaretto for his meat market
in the Martha Washington Stores, Inc. at Atwater. Having a most thorough
knowledge of the butchering, meat-packing and curing industry gained by long
years of experience, he is able to handle the customers in such a way as to make
the best of friends of every one with whom he has dealings and has proved a most
valuable help to his employer. He was born in Indian Gulch, Mariposa County on
June 24, 1856, the second of four children. His father, Giuseppe Casaretto, is
mentioned in another place in this book. He attended the Merced Falls school and
was reared at Indian Gulch. He began the wool-growing business in company with
his brothers and continued in it until 1884 when he took up the butcher trade,
which he followed in Arizona and Colorado as a journeyman for forty years. Six
years ago he came to Atwater and became manager of the Sanitary Meat Market,
where he remained until 1924. About January 1, 1925, he assumed his present
position. He owns his residence in Atwater. He does not tie to any political
party but votes for the best men and measures at all elections.

   Mr. Casaretto was married in Colorado Springs, Colo, in 1888, to Miss Ella
McElroy, a native of Missouri, who came to California with her parents. There
are four children of the union, viz.: Verne W., of Atwater; Ruth, wife of
Charles Wirow, in San Diego County; Hazel, wife of Arthur Davis of Los Angeles;
and Herbert, who died at one year of age.  There are also six grandchildren.
