GOOGLE TRANSLATION: CAVALIERE PAUL MILAZZO
We bet that there is not one person in Cheyenne did not know Cav. Milazzo.
Not only do I know all but know him well.
Dear and adorable figure of a simplicity that charms., Cav. Milazzo is a man
of the ancient mold, an Italian old-style, who continues to love the homeland.
We loved how our fathers, with humble devotion.
The Milazzo is a noble family, the Barone's di San Giorgio (one of
Sicily's oldest) and was born in Camporeale in Palermo in 1871. Emigrated
in 1902 and located in New Orleans in Louisiana where it passed in Wyoming.
Paul Milazzo was made Knight of the Crown of Italy (click on link for medal info) in 1926 in recognition of his
senior services and the corresponding Consulate to Cheyenne, a position he held with zeal and dignity,
He saved many Italians from the death penalty and is a staunch defender of our condtions whenever the opportunity presents itself of having to leave some trouble.
The Milazzo family years ago lost a son John, for skilful airman and personal friend of Lindberg.
The boy died April 27, 1927 in a flying accident while transporting mail from
Chicago to Cleveland, leaving parents in the darkest despair.
Paul Milazzo has an innate instinct in his nature to always put peace and prevent
disorders. Has its way of doing something dibenevolo of protection that distinguishes and
places it near the most beautiful figures of Italian emigration to America. |
