Either John didn’t give his wife Antonia Maria “Mary” Goettina’s information for some reason, maybe he didn’t understand the questioner, or the census taker didn’t ask, in any case our loss.

Goes to show how invacuate written materials from the past can be. You have to take a number of sources to really understand someone’s life.

JHJ collection. Standing is Antonia Maria “Mary” (Goettina) Trabucco, seated is Giovanni Battista “John” Trabucco, girl standing is Matilda Marie “Tillie” (Trabucco) Johnson, seated baby is Pete John Trabucco. Original photograph.

The Giovanni Battista “John” Trabucco and Antonia Maria “Mary” (Goettina) Trabucco farm with the house and buildings which they built. You can also see his 1946 gray Ford pickup behind which across the highway I believe is the Giovanni “John” Frullo house (with chimney) where Mary;s sister Caterina “Katie” (Goettina) Frullo lived. Many Italian farmer/miners purchased 5 acre plots from rich landowner DeWeese. There were so many rocks on the farm when they cleared the land for farming that they built a tall long wall with them. In turn of the century census you can see numerous Italian families in this area.

This was the Trabucco farm bread oven probably during the seventies and unused for about twenty years. Building built by Pete Trabucco is seen at right. Grandma Trabucco would bake fresh bread in this oven, coal shed next to it provided the fuel.

Giovanni Battista "John" Trabucco family farming

Coal Camp Christmas. A little of the history about Rockvale, Colorado. A number of the Goglio family went to this school, particularly the small white building on the left. The Goglio family lived just down the street from this school. Rockvale was near the CF&I mines where all the Trabuccos, Frullo’s and Goglio’s worked.
