Notes for Charles F. PRECIADO

After the family returned to San Andreas in around 1878-80, Charles F. their seventh child was born. He was Madera County Tax Collector for several years, elected in 1902, at the age of 22. He organized and managed the Madera Coyote baseball team which won the Championship in California in the amateur league. He had extensive farming interests also. In 1897, Charles established the Preciado Company, known as the C.F. Preciado Stationery and Fountain Lunch. This was the only store of its kind in Madera for several years and was a popular meeting place for young and old alike. Children came there for their School supplies, and Arbor Nook was part of the store where young people gathered for food, dancing, and good fellowship. This store was located on the main street of the town of Madera. Ida and Lita worked at the Fountain, Ben and Henry, with Charles on the book and stationery side. Ben could be seen painting signs and chalking up scoreboards tallies.

There was seldom a celebration in Madera that was not held in front of the store. For years Madera rallied upon the billboards of Preciado s for the National Baseball scores and election returns. Charles passed away in 1941.
