Nicholas Carl D’Angelo

Nicholas Carl D’Angelo/From a site I found on the net.

Nicholas said:

The actual date of my birth was 17 January, 1916, but I was told
by my Parents that my Birthday was the 18th and naturally all
school records and birthdays were celebrated on 18 January, until
I needed a Birth Certificate for my marriage at the age of 25,
and found out the correct date (Nicholas C. D’Angelo and Isabel
A. Martin were married 15 August 1942). I was born Nicholas Carl
D’Angelo in the Chambersburg section of Trenton, New Jersey in
my parents’ house located at 404 Elmer Street on 17 January 1916.
At the time of my birth the family consisted of 4 boys and 1
girl: Anthony, John, May and Joseph. Later came Daniel and
Catherine. Both of my Parents were born in Italy. My Father,
Nicola was born in 1879 in Cassendrino, a town situated north
of Naples and my Mother, Lucia was born in San Fele in 1885,
a little village south of Sorrento. The earliest background of
my Father's life was that he served 6 years in the Italian Army
during the Ethiopian War between the years 1894 - 1900. Upon his
discharge he returned to his hometown to marry his betrothed only
to discover that she had died. As was the custom in prearranged
marriages, he was supposed to marry her elder sister, who he
disliked. So, with the help of his brothers John and Louis, who
sent him money from the US, he was able to join them in America.
While living at the house on Elmer Street, I went to the
Centennial School up to the 4th Grade, which was located on
Whittaker Avenue, between Butler and Bayard (now Roman Hall).
At the age of ten, we moved to Quinton Avenue and I went to
Hamilton School (now where Roma Bank is) till the 6th Grade.
