Show CARL JO EPH ANTORO J 28,2004 harlie came here from Sicily. He got a job working with my great uncl I gu w 'd call him. Then he heard they were hiring railroad workers in Ohio. o there sa place called Tiffin, Ohio. So he went to Tiffin, Ohio. He got a job there. We had a little Italian community there and they helped him get a job. Then when he got settled, he called my dad. He said, "Come on over. You can find a job." My dad ended up in Bellevue, Ohio. He stopped in New York on the way also, in the Bronx. But he got a job working for the Wheeling & Lake Erie Railroad in Bellevue, Ohio. He was a section hand like most of them were. They did then the kinds of jobs they give to Mexicans or Blacks, now, see. They (Italian immigrants) were the ones that did those jobs in those days. So that's how they came to Ohio. He found out he could get a job there. I think that he worked for fourteen or fifteen cents an hour. BEC: Wow, that's something. SAN: And he did it. BEC: He was able to manage to live on that. SAN: I remember during the Depression, I'd buy the money orders to send to the Home Owners Loan Association Corporation in Cincinnati. He was paying on the house. He could just pay the interest payments. The interest payments were five dollars and eighty cents a month. BEC: Oh, wow. SAN: So we sent that. BEC: Did you stay in Ohio until you went into the service? SAN: Yes. BEC: You attended schools there, too? 4 |
