To those that ‘serve and protect’ ...
abbreviated 1934 obituary for my great great uncle .. With the passing of John Marasco, last sunday night, DesMoines lost one of its eldest Italian American residents and pioneers. Mr Marasco was born in Italy in 1854 and came to America ... For the past 34 years, he has been a resident of Des Moines and has been employed by the city police department for 27 years. While in this position, he made friends with thousands of his neighbors. He is survived by his widow and 6 children. He was known among the Italian and American people for his active service in the protection of his community. His many friends mourn his passing and send sincere condolences to his family ...
I guess it’s not 1934 anymore !!!
