Notes |
- He served in WWI for Italy. He came to America without Dorothea; she stayed home with family. Then he was drafted into the US Army in 1917, and served for a year. They had one child who died of pneumonia in Italy.
His wife apparently would not come to the US until her parents died. Judging by the censuses, this seems to have been between 1930 and 1935. During WW1 he registered for the draft, describing himself as an Italian citizen, with a wife and child.
In 1930, he was living with the Palermo family. In 1940, he (aged 51) and Dorothea (aged 54, born in Italy) are living with the Pozzuto family (his brother Epifanio’s daughter Felicia). He had been living in the same house in 1935.
