Biographical
Eusebio Maglinte was born in the 1890s in Dimiao, Bohol, Philippines. According to United States census records, he attended school until the fourth grade. Maglinte left his homeland aboard the S. S. Venezuela, which departed Manila on August 2, 1920, and arrived thirty days later in Honolulu, Hawai'i. He made this voyage with fifty-two other Filipino men, mostly from Bohol, Cebu, and Negros Orientalas as laborers for the Hawaiian Sugar Planters Association. After three years, Maglinte left Hawai'i aboard the S. S. President Pierce for San Francisco, California in November 1923. The 1930 United States census documented Maglinte as a farm laborer, living with twenty-six other Filipino men on Georgiana Slough Road near the town of Isleton and Walnut Grove, southwest of Sacramento. Within five years, he had moved to San Joaquin County and was living on the Wright Tract. In 1940, Maglinte is still living in the same place with sixteen other Filipino men, who had all worked seventeen hours the week before according to the 1940 United States census. The census also recorded that Maglinte had worked twenty-six weeks and made $350.00. By 1947, Maglinte had moved to Stockton, California on 203 East Hazelton Avenue and was still working as a laborer. Maglinte died on August 13, 1952, in Santa Clara County, California. Almost every record shows a different date of birth for Eusebio Maglinte. On the passenger list of his first journey to Honolulu, it is recorded as January 15, 1898. On the passenger list of his journey to San Francisco, it is listed as May 31, 1892. On his California death record, it is given as April 15, 1891.
