Victoriano Yano

Type:
Archival materials
Date:
1971
Scope and Contents:
Includes a letter dating from 1971 and written in Visayan by an unidentified correspondent in the Philippines. The letter provides little information relating to Yano and his life in Stockton, California. Instead, it serves as a primary source for understanding how people attempted to stay connected with people in another country during the 1970s.
Biographical:
Victoriano Yano was born to Miguel Yano and Vicenta Antoni in the Philippines in 1907. Little information exists about his early life, education, and family other than his marriage to Margarita [Mary] Ricablanca, who was Puerto Rican, on May 22, 1929. They gave birth to three daughters: Madalene (1940), Barbara J. (1945), and Leona (1950). By 1950 the United States census documents the family as residing on 1482 Plantation Road in Makawao, Maui, Hawai'i. Yano worked as a janitor at a general hospital while Mary worked as a trimmer for a pineapple cannery company.
