Changed his surname to Jim
Buon Cappodanno !!!
I finally had an opportunity to talk with my Aunt Julia who was 93
yesterday. She is the last surviving member of Carmine Domenico
Cima's family.
Here is what I managed to learn from her: August Cima never came to
this country,and we don't know if he married or had any children.
Luigi Cima settled near Latrobe, PA and had either 5 or 6 children.
He used Jim as his surname, instead of Cima.
His children were as follows:
Augustine, who was born 8-19-01 in Whitney, PA. He became
a Benedictine Priest, ordained 06-12-32, celebrated his 25th
anniversary as a priest in 1957 I think that he died around 1975 at
St Bede Abbey in Peru, Illinois.
Charles, who was a local politician, and I think that he
was a PA state representative.
Nellie, who never married and still lives in Latrobe.
Josephine, who became a Nun, in CO Springs, CO.
Anthony, who moved to Los Angeles, CA
Mary, who was either a daughter or a niece. I can't be
sure. She married a Panigal, and they had 5 children, namely Gracie,
Millie, Margie, Joe and Mary.
