While researching one of my favorite ancestral uncles, I came across a newspaper article that celebrates his tireless zeal in founding the Union High School in Elk Grove, California. I am hoping that the local history folks in Elk Grove will recognize his efforts in some way.
Here is a transcript of the article, followed by the Optical Character Recognition and finally a copy of the newspaper article from GenealogyBank.com. The GenealogyBank.com collection of the Sacramento newspapers has been very helpful to me in both the 19th and 20th centuries.
A pleasant surprise party was tendered Alfred Coffman at his residence last Thursday evening by the patrons. pupils and teachers of the Elk Grove School. Mr. Coffman for many years has acted as School Trustee. He has filled the position admirably, thereby winning for himself the esteem of all. He has been largely instrumental in securing to Elk Grove the Union High School, and wishing to show their sense of his ability and untiring zeal, the friends of Mr. Coffman presented him with a handsome chair. The presentation was accompanied by a few well-chosen remarks by Delos Gage, expressive of the sterling worth of the recipient. A sumptuous repast was partaken of by the guests, who agreed that this was a memorable event in the annals of Elk Grove history. Among those present were: Mr. and Mrs. Alfred Coffman, Mr. and Mrs. Delos Gage, Mr. and Mrs. Clinton Kerby, Mr. and Mrs. Tom Duffy, Mr. and Mrs. Woody, Mr. and Mrs. Stewart, Mr. and Mrs. Loll, Mr. and Mrs. D.

It was interesting to note that both "Alfred" and "Coffman" were garbled at various points in the article but fortunately both names were recognized properly in a couple of different places which led to my discovery of this article. I'm just lucky, I guess!

Using Griffiths Valuation to Locate Property in Ireland
James Bamford. 1796–1882 My 4th great uncle
BIRTH ABT 1796 •
DEATH OCT/DEC 1882 • Lisnaskea Reg Dist, Fermanagh, Ireland
!BIRTH: about 1796; Estimated birth year from death record below. He resided in Creagh, Agahavea Parish, County Fermanagh, Ireland in 1834 but his birthplace is unknown. James Banford/Bamford was probably not the son of Samuel Bamford of Derryheely. The Brooke Estate Deed for Samuel Bamford describes his oldest son as John Bamford aged 10 in 1807. It is of course possible that John Bamford was older than 10 but the deed also describes William Bamford age eight as the second son so James would have to have been born after 1809 to be the son of Samuel Bamford of Derryheely unless both John and William were actually older than ten and eight in 1809.
!BIOGRAPHY: To Essie Bamford O'Neill from Della Cooke Crawford Dated 1-8-1962 Your great grandfather's name was James. He had a large family. His wife's name was Margaret Emerson. His daughter's name was Jane who married Galbraith Moffatt. Mary who became Mrs. James Crawford lived on the homestead in Crieve, raised her family there and I think there was a Margaret who was drowned coming out here. Her son's names were William, James, Robert, and Edward. William, Robert and Edward married three sisters named Murphy (Not RC`s). Your great grandmother lived with your great aunt Mary Crawford and died with her at the old home stead in Crieve, your great grand father also and were all buried in Colebrook churchyard.
Arrows point to the houses of a-James Banford and b-Margaret Orr
!RESIDENCE: 1864; Per Griffiths Valuation his residence was Crievehill, Enniskillen, Fermanagh, Ireland. He also leased land in two other townlands: Cavanaleck and Tattynuckle in 1864. His landlord in Creevehill was the Earl of Ranfurley.
Griffith's Valuation for 1864 includes a valuation of tenements in the Parishes of Enniskillen and Aghalurcher broken down by Townland and including a reference number to the accompanying valuation maps. See www.AskAboutIreland.ie/griffith-valuation for original documents and maps.
The following lands are found under the name of James Banford:
Ref. # 1a, Townland: Creevehill; Parish: Enniskillen; Occupier: James Banford; Immediate Lessor: Earl of Ranfurly ; Description of Tenement: House, Offices and Land; Area: 110 Acres, 0 Roods, 20 Perches; Rateable Annual Valuation- Land: 34 Lbs. 5 Shillings, Buildings: 1 Lb. and 15 Shillings ; Total Annual Valuation of Rateable Property: 36 Lbs. This parcel is by far the largest in the townland.
Ref. # 1b, Townland: Creevehill is a sub lease; Occupier: Margaret Orr; Immediate Lessor: James Banford; Description of Tenement: House; Area: blank; Rateable Annual Valuation- Land: blank, Buildings: 5 Shillings; Total Annual Valuation of Rateable Property: 5 Shillings.
Also carved out of parcel #1 is a two acre parcel #35 which is subleased by James Banford to James Simonton which includes a house and land.
The valuation map of Creevehill Townland shows parcel #1 in the northern portion of the townland just south of Drumcor Lough which is in the vicinity of the town of Clabby. I have created an image based on the maps available at AskAboutIreland.ie/griffith-valuation which shows arrows pointing to house #a and house #b.
Ref. # 13a, Townland: Cavanaleck; Parish: Aghalurcher; Occupier: James Banford; Immediate Lessor: Sir Victor A. Brooke, Bt.; Description of Tenement: House, Offices and Land; Area: 35 Acres and 1 Rood; Rateable Annual Valuation- Land: 27 Lbs. 15 Shillings, Buildings: 5 Lbs.; Total Annual Valuation of Rateable Property: 32 Lbs. 15 Shillings.
James Banford was subleasing a house to John Gawley on this parcel shown as 13b.
Ref. # 5, Townland: Tattynuckle; Parish: Aghalurcher; Occupier: James Banford; Immediate Lessor: Sir Victor A. Brooke, Bt.; Description of Tenement: Land; Area: 15 Acres 0 Roods 5 Perches; Rateable Annual Valuation- Land: 9 Lbs., Buildings: --; Total Annual Valuation of Rateable Property: 9 Lbs.

Sampson Looney- with yDNA He Is Fatherless No More
One of my recent projects was to flesh out the family tree for my friends, Jan and Ron Looney of Walnut Creek, California. Jan created a tree on Ancestry.com called the Janet Combes Family Tree and shared the tree with me making me an editor. I was able to find ancestors for both Ron and Jan out at least five generations on most lines.
The Looney line is shown in the pedigree chart below beginning with Ron's father:
Edward Francis Looney
BIRTH 4 DEC 1918 • Lynchburg, Laclede, Missouri, USA
DEATH 31 MAR 2011 • Union City, Alameda County, California, USA
Ron had his y-DNA tested through Family Tree DNA which enabled the administrator of the Looney DNA project to add three more generations to Ron's pedigree. His end of line prior to the DNA test was Sampson Looney:
Sampson B Looney
BIRTH 18 DEC 1806 • Tennessee, USA
DEATH 12 JUL 1864 • Pierce City, Lawrence, Missouri, USA
As you can see in the above image from FindaGrave.com, the gravestone is the primary source for the birth and death dates. Note that there is an alternate spelling on this gravestone. There are many variations in the records:
ALTERNATE NAMES: Looney, Loomey (notice its m, instead of n), Loney, Lonne, Loony, Lunn, Lunna, Lunny, Luny, Lone, Loo, Loony, Louin, Louine, Luening, Luhan, Luin, Luna, Lunage, Luneau
I found an Ancestry.com Message Board on the Looney family with a posting by one of the Administrators of the Looney Family DNA Project:
As one of the Admin for the Looney DNA Project I have been asked for assistance in trying to figure out who Sampson Looney's parents were. Based on a single Y-DNA test of one descendant of Sampson Looney, we discovered that his Y-DNA match most closely matches the Y-DNA of several descendants of the John 2 Looney family line.
There is one DNA marker in particular that points in this direction. So far only the John 2 Looney descendants possess this one marker at the value of 11. From what we know of the John 2 Looney family line, it seems that John's son, David Luney/Looney is the most probable ancestor who could be the father for Sampson Looney. David Looney was granted land by his father in Botetourt County, VA about 1808 but by 1810 David Looney is gone from the Botetourt County, VA records.
On 6 Jan 1806 David Looney married Margaret "Peggy"Farrier in Botetourt Co, VA. Sampson is said to have been born that same year which makes sense. David Looney is said to have left the state prior to the 1810 census.
Based on this Y-DNA testing I am pretty confident that Sampson Looney was the son of David 3 Looney, son of John 2 Looney. Records show that David 3 Looney married Margaret "Peggy" Ferrier in Virginia. Through this marriage we know that David 3 Looney was deceased prior to 4 January 1820 when Margaret (Ferrier) Looney's father, Robert Ferrier, who's will is recorded in Giles Co, VA. Robert Ferrier's first bequest was $250 to "heirs of David Luny, Decd". From the way the will is written it appears there was more than one heir of David 3 Looney, deceased, his son-in-law.
I have added Sampson 4 and David 3 Looney, son of John 2 Looney to my family tree on Ancestry and you can locate them here:

I contacted the person who posted this message through his Ancestry.com user name: LooneyMcBride. He replied the same day with some background and sources for his research.
Hi Nick, My name is Larry W Johnson and I live in Grapevine, TX half way between Dallas and Fort Worth. I have been researching the Looney family for a lot of years and a lot of my research is built on prior research done by Leroy W Tilton and the lady who coordinated and typed the Looney Family Manuscripts, ca 1963, Miss Elizabeth Looney of Washington, D.C. Of course there were a multitude of early Looney family researchers who coordinated their research with Mr. Tilton and Miss Looney. Tilton stopped his research about 1963 because of age and Miss Looney continued hers until her death in August 2001.
I also found an excellent summary of the life of Sampson Looney posted by an Ancestry.com user. I took the liberty of reorganizing the information in chronological order:

MESSAGE POST HAS BEEN EDITED TO PLACE EVERYTHING IN CHRONOLOGICAL ORDER BY NICK CIMINO, SEP 2018
1806- Sampson B. (Sam) LOONEY was born on December 18, 1806 in Grainger County, Tennessee. But, NO ONE has cracked the puzzle! Who were Sampson's parents? [UNTIL NOW!] Tradition has it that Sampson's father died young and the mother married 2) Standifer and 3) Stewart. {That theory doesn't work since Laban Stewart was born 1803 and Sampson Looney was born 1806 so marriage order would be Stewart, Looney then Standifer} [MR. JOHNSON QUESTIONS THE SOURCE FOR THE BIRTHPLACE OF SAMPSON.]Is Labon,Laban Stewart half brother of Sampson Looney? Laban Stewart's grand daughter Mary Etta Nelson married Thomas Looney, youngest son of Sampson and Sarah. Sampson's parents would have been born about 1785 +or- 5.
1812- Sarah Brown HUNT was born on April 11, 1812 in Claiborne County, Tennessee. Listed as Feb 9 in Sampson's Bible.
1830- Sampson Looney was married to Sarah Brown HUNT (daughter of John T. HUNT) on August 30, 1830 in Morgan County, Illinois. Illinois Marriages, 1790-1860, online has the date as 31 Aug. 1830, but the actual certificate states the date as 30 August 1830. I have a copy. The application is made by William Rogers. John Hunt made a statement to the county clerk: 'Sir this is to inform you that you may consider yourself safe in issuing license to Samson Looney to marry my daughter. Signed by John (x) Hunt. This statement was witnessed by John Profe or Grofe.I have a copy of a note from John Hunt giving Sarah permission to marry. There are many Hunts in Clairborne Tennessee, for example Thompson Hunt in Claiborne County, Tennessee in 1850.
1832-1833- He was in 1832 in Barry County, Missouri. By 1832, Sampson and Sarah and first child, Caroline, settled in the section of Crawford County which would become Greene County Missouri in 1833.

Their second child was the first white baby born in Barry County. Later, The census of 1840, 1850 and 1860 show Sarah with her husband Sampson.There is a paragraph about E. M. Looney on page 206 from History of Lawrence County, Missouri which includes: "His grandfather was a native of Tennessee but came to Missouri in 1833 and settled on what is now known as the "Baumgartner Farm." He was an Indian trader and had many dealing with the various tribes with all of whom, by reason of his fair dealing, he was on friendly terms. He has long since crossed over the great divide." {Do not know publish date of book.The date is after 1930}.Sampson was enumerated on the 1833 Greene County Tax list: 2 horses value 60, 2 cattle value 20, one pole 37 1/2, Total value $80, Total Tax 71 2/8.
1832-1845-Sampson preempted land near Prewett's Creek, later known as Clear Creek, in section 30, Twp. 26, Range 28. Section 30 was also the home of William Capps, whose home was the place of the first meeting of the officers of Barry County when it was established in 1835. The new county seat was known as Mount Pleasant.
1840-He appeared on the census in 1840 in Mount Pleasant Township, Barry County, Missouri.

1864- DEATH OF SAMPSON LOONEY- Sampson died on July 12, 1864 in Pierce City, Lawrence County, Missouri.
There is a STORY that Walter L. Looney told her that Sampson was killed by his son James Washington Looney. J W Looney lived next door to Sampson. Sampson was a blacksmith. He was sitting in a rocker with his Bible in his lap when he was shot by his son. Apparently Sampson did not agree with the war.Another STORY states Sampson died at the hands of bushwhackers, land rich, without a will. According to the Probate Court of Lawrence County the final settlement was 4 Feb 1870.
1864- Sampson Looney was buried in City Cemetery, Pierce City, Newton County, Missouri. On the tombstone name is spelled Luny.

Good luck piecing together your Ancestor Puzzles!
Newman and Nelson- Alphabetical and Descendant Ties
When you are researching ancestors that died before the 1850 census, you are presented with an ancestor puzzle with many missing pieces. Prior to 1850, our puzzle pieces include census, tax lists, land, probate and host of other records that often get ignored. Such is the case with two of my ancestors, William Newman and Moses Nelson:
William Newman
BIRTH BEF. 1763 • St Marys Church, Burlington, New Jersey, United States
DEATH 1840 • Nicholas County, Kentucky, USA
5th great-grandfather
Moses Nelson
BIRTH 10 MAR 1758 • Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, USA
DEATH 12 JUN 1833 • Bath County, Kentucky, USA
My intent was to research William Newman but I kept finding Moses Nelson in the same records. Their names are both found in the "Ne" portion of the indexes. They appear to be contemporaries but not necessarily associates. Their descendants were joined together by the marriage of William Thomas Newman and Louisa Joyce Fowler, three generations later as shown in the pedigree for their daughter and my great grandmother, Julia Ann Newman:
I was interested in finding information about William Newman because I was intrigued by the fact that he freed his slaves in his will. Here is what I found:
William Newman Research Log- July 2018 by Nick Cimino
William Newman was born in 1763 by some accounts in Burlington, New Jersey. He married Cassandra Tippet in 1780 in Charles, Maryland. They had five children in 11 years. He died in 1840 in Nicholas, Kentucky.
The 1780 marriage of William Newman to Cassandra Tippet is supported by the biography of their son-in-law, David Wilson:
David Wilson ... married, in Bourbon County, in 1815, Sarah, daughter of William and Cassander (Tippet) Newman
SOURCE: History of Bourbon, Scott, Harrison and Nicholas Counties, Kentucky, ed. by William Henry Perrin, O. L. Baskin & Co., Chicago, 1882. p. 800.
The 1790 census shows a William Newman in Charles County, Maryland:
Name: William Newman
Home in 1790 (City, County, State): Charles, Maryland
Number of All Other Free Persons: 4
Number of Household Members: 4
This census would indicate that William and Cassandra had two children prior to 1790. This is slightly inconsistent with the known family information which shows three children born prior to 1790:
Birth of Daughter Eleanor Newman Bond Fugate (1783–1875) 6 Aug 1783 • Maryland
Birth of Daughter Sophia Newman Harden (1787–1857) Abt. 1787 • Maryland, USA
Birth of Son Thomas David Newman(1788–1848) 22 Feb 1788 • Charles County, Maryland, USA
By 1800 the William Newman Household had grown considerably. We appear to be missing one child in our records as there are only two children shown as born between 1790 and 1800:
Birth of Son Augusta Newman (1794–1861) ABT 1794 • Maryland
Birth of Daughter Sarah Newman Wilson (1795–1872) 4 Feb 1795 • Maryland
We have knowledge of three daughters and two sons but as shown below there was another boy under 10 recorded in the 1800 census. In addition there is a white male 45 and over that is a subject of speculation. There are two females 10 through 15 shown in the 1800 census but Eleanor Newman would have been about 17 and Sophia Newman would have been about 13 which is a slight mismatch.
Home in 1800 (City, County, State): Port Tobacco Parish, Charles, Maryland
Free White Persons - Males - Under 10: 2 (Augusta Newman, age 6 and ??)
Free White Persons - Males -10 thru 15: 1 (Thomas David Newman, age 12)
Free White Persons - Males - 26 thru 44: 1 (William Newman, age 37)
Free White Persons - Males - 45 and over: 1 (unknown older male)
Free White Persons - Females - Under 10: 1 (Sarah Newman, age 5)
Free White Persons - Females - 10 thru 15: 2 (Eleanor, age 17 and Sophia age 13)
Free White Persons - Females - 26 thru 44: 1 (Cassandra about 35)
Number of Slaves: 1 (Perhaps there is a deed or a will which shows this name.)
Number of Household Members Under 16: 6
Number of Household Members Over 25: 3
Number of Household Members: 10
The 1810 census shows the following:
Free White Persons - Males - 16 thru 25: 1
Free White Persons - Males - 45 and over: 1
Free White Persons - Females - 10 thru 15: 1
Free White Persons - Females - 45 and over : 1
Numbers of Slaves: 4
The earliest event that I have found so far involving the Newmans in Kentucky was 7 Aug 1813 in Bourbon County, Kentucky, Thomas David Newman was married to Nancy Johnson.
In 1814 the marriage of Sarah Newman to David Wilson occurred on 16 Jun 1814 in Bourbon County, Kentucky, USA.
Shortly thereafter, Agusta Newman, son of William Newman and Cassandra Tippet enlisted for War of 1812 service on 10 September 1814.
Agusta Newman and Melinda Sledd were married in Bourbon County on the 3rd of November of 1815.
In 1819 Agusta Newman was a Grantor to Benjamin Boardman, Grantee, Book E, Page 367 and in - 1827 Agusta Newman was Grantor to William Sledd, Grantee, Book G, Page 560 both deeds in Bourbon County.
The 1820 Census shows William Newman as follows:
Home in 1820 (City, County, State): Nicholas, Kentucky
Enumeration Date: August 7, 1820
Free White Persons - Males - Under 10: 1
Slaves - Males - 14 thru 25: 1

Free White Persons - Under 16: 1
Free White Persons - Over 25: 2

I composed emails to my colleagues in the Association of Professional Genealogists and I was especially pleased to receive the following response:
from: Cynthia Maharrey
to: Nick Cimino

subject: RE: William Newman Freed His Slaves in 1840
As a rule in the state of Kentucky, manumissions were recorded in deed books or in county court orders books. That should be where you would find Sam, Hannah, Mary and her children's manumissions.
Bath County had a courthouse disaster in 1864. Union troops were occupying it when a Confederate attack was waged on Owingsville. They abandoned it leaving a stove burning which caught the building on fire. While not everything was lost, some months later during another raid, some of the remaining records were pulled into the street and burned. So, although deeds and court order books for Bath County exist from 1811, the legibility and availability of the records contained therein may be hit-or-miss.
Nicholas County suffered no such disasters and those manumissions, if William Newman's wishes were carried out, should be in the deed or court orders books.
Many of the early Kentucky courthouse records are now housed in the Kentucky Department for Libraries and Archives in Frankfort. Many of those records are available online through FamilySearch.org. If you can't find what you seek through them, I'd be happy to work up a proposal for you.
One more thing, Kentucky also recorded free blacks on the tax lists, so they might appear there as well!
Cynthia Maharrey has provided me with some good suggestions which might help me find what happened to the slaves that were freed by William Newman. Wish me luck!

1940 Draft Cards Reveal Cimino Family History
New hints on my Ancestry tree led me to some interesting documents on Fold3.com for my grandfather and his brothers. First let me show you some pictures of the people in the documents.
Here is a picture of three of the Cimino brothers taken in 1973.
From left: Kathleen (daughter of Fred), Dick, Fred, and John Cimino
I do notice that Grandpa Dick is holding his cigar. I have very vivid memories of his ashtray next to his recliner in the family room. I believe that he smoked Roi Tan cigars. We had several of his cigar boxes for trinkets over the years but I do not have any today.
Here is an image of an ashtray that was similar to the one that Grandpa Dick had next to his recliner:
Armour Company employees in 1932. Kneeling third from left is Fred Cimino. Standing third from left is Dick Cimino.
Carroll Stewart was a neighbor on 17th Street and I believe he is the man with his hand on Fred's shoulder in the picture above. Carroll and his girl friend Ollie and Fred and his girl friend Shirley stole away from Sioux City and got married on the same night in Shirley's hometown of Pender, Nebraska.
This is John Cimino before he lost his hair so it was probably taken about 1940.
A Cimino Family Picnic in 1962
All of the people in the above photo are Ciminos except where the last name is noted. Standing: Austin McCrory, Sophie, Christena "Tena", Shirley, Ann, Rose Cimino Ferraguti, and Jimmy McCrory. Kneeling: Antonino "Tony" or "Nonnu", Fred, Betty, Tony, John, and Rose's husband, Sam Ferraguti. At one point, I thought this was in Sacramento but it may be in South Sioux City.
So here are the draft cards for the Cimino brothers:
1940 Selective Service Registration Card for Dick Cimino
Grandpa Dick worked at Armour Meat Company in 1940 and lived on 17th Street in South Sioux City.
Physical Description of Dick CiminoGrandpa Dick and Fred were the tallest at 5' 8".
1940 Selective Service Registration Card for Fred Andrew Cimino
Uncle Fred worked at Armour Meat Packing Company in 1940. Fred was the only one that did not live on 17th Street in 1940.
Physical Description of Fred Cimino
1940 Selective Service Registration Card for John Joseph Cimino
This is the first record that I have seen with Uncle John's middle name. I had him as John J. Cimino until now.
Physical Description of John Cimino
John was the shortest and the lightest of the four brothers at 5'4" and 125 pounds.
1940 Selective Service Registration Card for Sam Cimino
Sam was working on a WPA project in 1940.
Physical Description of Sam Cimino
Uncle Sam was in the middle with a height of 5'6". Sam is the only brother not shown in any of the pictures above so here are some pictures of him:
Sam Cimino and dog about 1940
The inscription on the back of this picture says "Josie, the dog is the one with his mouth open, Sam". Josie is Sam's sister.
Anna Parr Cimino and Sam Cimino at the grave of Sam's sister, Camela Defozeo.
The Italian spelling of this sister's name was Carmela Cimino Defazio. She was the second Carmela born to Tony and Mary Cimino in Sicily. They were obligated to name their first daughter after Tony's mother, Carmela Grasso. Carmela came over on the boat in 1911 with her mother, Maria Ossino, my Grandpa Dick (Sebastiano) and Uncle John (Giovanni) but died in childbirth in 1920. Her grave is in the Marian section of the Calvary Cemetery in Sioux City, Iowa. Carmela's husband was Pasquale "Pete" Defazio. His second wife, Mary Pironaggi, his mother and several other family members are buried in this same family plot.
Sam and Dick Cimino about 1940.
I notice that Grandpa Dick liked to feature his cigar in photos.
He smoked Roi Tan cigars as I recall.
1942 Affidavit by Tony Cimino for Delayed Birth Certificate of Fred Cimino
As I was adding the draft cards to Uncle Fred's profile on Ancestry.com, I noticed that he had a hint for an Iowa Delayed Birth Certificate. This was a pretty interesting document as it was a 1942 affidavit filed by his father, Tony Cimino and signed with an X. Again we see creative spelling as the mother was Maria Ossino not "Uosino." I guess you have to sympathize with the record officials trying to understand the broken English of our Italian immigrant ancestor.
Haley Aguirre of the Sioux City Museum gave me some information about the Ciminos and the packing houses:
In the 1940 city directory for Ciminos. I see the three brothers you mentioned – Dick, Fred, and John – as butchers at Armour. I also see two more, Sam and Sophia [John's wife], who work at Cudahy's, another city packing plant. All are shown as residents of South Sioux City. I managed to get my hands on a South Sioux City directory, but the earliest I have is 1957. There John and Sophie Cimino live at 402 W. 15th, and Tony and Christina Cimino live at 618 W. 17th. John is employed at Armour.
Ms. Aquirre also sent me some images of the Armour plant. The first is from the early 1920s, and the second is from right around 1940, when the Cimino brothers would have been working there.

1940s view showing the ramp where the cattle were herded into the plant
The uncanny coincidence in all of this is that Haley Aquirre is related to the DeFazio family. Her husband's grandfather is Gary Aguirre. Gary's father was a Mexican immigrant named Luciano Aguirre. Gary's mother was Rose Frances DeFazio. Rose's parents were Pasquale "Pete" DeFazio and his second wife, Mary Pironaggi.
Haley Aguirre shared several details about the Italians of Sioux City:
Sioux City did not have a very high concentration of Italian immigrants, at least in comparison to other parts of the Midwest like Chicago. The neighborhood with the largest concentration of Italians was what we now call the East Bottoms, so called because it was on the east side of the railroad tracks and the Floyd River, in the river bottoms. The people who lived there at the time never called it "bottoms," they actually resented the name and its negative connotation. They called it "east side."
Regardless, the main streets over there were 7th Street. You'll see it referred to as East 7th, to notate that they're talking about the east side of 7th, the portion across the river from downtown. 7th runs east-west, the major north-south streets were Morgan and Steuben. So that first address you gave me for Anthony Cimino, 614 Steuben, was in the East Bottoms. He surely would have known that large Italian community living there.
People in the East Bottoms primarily worked in factories, railroads, and the stockyards, all of which were close by. The Community House was down there, a social service agency that particularly looked after Sioux City's immigrant populations. It offered English classes, trade apprenticeships, day-care services for children with two working parents, and more services that I could ever name here. The director of the Community House was a woman named Mary Treglia, an Italian immigrant. You can read more about her story and the Community House here: http://siouxcityhistory.org/notable-people/36-mary-treglia-and-the-mary-treglia-community-house.
The Bottoms unfortunately are no longer there. They were eradicated in the 1950s and early 1960s when the Floyd River Flood Control Project re-routed the river right through the neighborhood. The Community House was moved to the Northside, where it sits today, and residents of the East Bottoms were forced elsewhere. Many moved to Sioux City's Westside, which also had a working-class population. West 7th Street had long been a major business district for immigrants of all kinds. I'm not surprised to see Anthony Cimino living there, either.
Gary [her husband's grandfather] also told me stories about the East Bottoms. He grew up at 8th & Steuben Streets. The door to every house was always open. Anyone in the neighborhood could walk into any house, sit at the table and be served a meal. Adults could sit and play cards between shifts of work. Children would play by the railroad tracks, and sometimes they were lucky enough to see the circus train come into town.
Many DeFazios worked at the Community House when they could and knew Mary Treglia well. Gary was even pallbearer at her funeral. He also mentioned that all the Italians that he knew of living there were Catholic, and members of the Enunciation Church in the Bottoms. Therefore, the Diocese of Sioux City may have more information for you: https://scdiocese.org/
I was stunned to get so much information about the Italians of Sioux City and even more amazed that Haley and I were connected through a family relationship.
