JOHN ZVIERKOVICH, proprietor of the Opera Restaurant at Woodland, is the son of
John and Mary (Vidole) Zvierkovich, natives of Dalmatia, Austria. The father was
a brick-mason by trade, and died in his native country in 1866; and the mother
is still living in the old country. Mr. Zvierkovich, the subject of this brief
mention, was born in Austria in 1864, and in 1878 came to California, locating
directly in Stockton, where his first employment was as a waiter in a
restaurant. Being ambitious to excel as a caterer, he at length began to conduct
such an institution upon his own responsibilities, in the city of Woodland, Yolo
County, and he has now as fine a restaurant as can be found in any town of
15,000 inhabitants. His present place was opened by him in 1887, and is
estimated at $2,000 value. He is a member of the I. O. R. M. of Sacramento,
lodge No. 39, is yet unmarried, and is esteemed by all as a good citizen and a
responsible business man.
