A Wilson Family Tree
Notes for Dominick Lino
Birthplace of Palermo, Sicily is from https://www.ancestry.com/family-tree/person/tree/83283076/person/42479893670/facts . Before, I only knew he was from Italy.
Newspaper obituary (don't know what paper, or the date, but death date was 29 Jan 1944):
Following an extended illness, Dominick Lino, 87, died Saturday, January 29, at his home, 1114 Mariposa street.
Mr. Lino came to this country at the age of twelve years from Italy, where he was born September 10, 1856. He was a pioneer resident of the West Side and before his retirement about three years ago, owned and operated the Union Station barber shop.
He was the husband of Mrs. Theresa Lino, father of Mrs. Rose Nash of Syracuse, N. Y., and George Lino, Canon City, Colo. Both the son and daughter came to Denver for the funeral services held Wednesday morning at the Theodore Hackethal Mortuary. Requiem mass was sung at St. Elizabeth's church and burial took place in Mount Olivet cemetery.
Newspaper article (don't know what paper, or the date, but their 50th anniversary would have been 4 Jul 1931):
GOLDEN WEDDING PARTY POSTPONED DUE TO ILLNESS
Mr. and Mrs. Dominic Lino Will Celebrate Aug. 1 Instead of July 4.
An aged Denver couple, Mr. and Mrs. Dominic Lino, aren't going to let an illness that came at the worst possible time deprive them of celebrating their fiftieth wedding anniversary.
When the date came around, July 4, Mrs. Lino, who is 71 years old, found herself confined to her bed at 1114 Mariposa street, the family home for forty-three years.
Since she wants to take an active enjoyment in the anniversary celebration, she just gave Father Time a shove that pushed him to Aug. 1.
"I ought to be well by then," said the pleasant, white-haired little woman, who Monday still was in bed while the knitting process went on in two ribs and a collarbone broken two weeks ago in a fall on the stairs.
OPERATES UNION STATION BARBER SHOP.
Lino has operated a barber shop at the Union station forty-six years. Altho he is 73 years old, he still gives haircuts, shaves and other tonsorial attentions, standing on his feet thru-out the day like a young man. His hand is steady and he has no thought of retirement.
The veteran barber, an Italian by birth, came to this country when only 12 years old. He moved to Denver, after a short stay in Chicago, to be with an uncle here.
His wife, a Canadian, came here to live with a sister. Six weeks after her arrival and a slightly shorter time after the good-looking young Italian made her acquaintance, they were married in the Stout street cathedral, razed more than a score of years ago.
OLD PICTURE IS PRIZED POSSESSION.
A picture taken then by the late Charles A. Nast, in his log cabin studio at Fifteenth and Larimer streets, is one of their treasured possessions. Shortly before Mrs. Lino's accident, the couple went to the present Nast studio, at Sixteenth and Champa streets, where they had another photograph made, in approximately the same pose, by Will H. Nast, son of the man who photographed them at the time of their wedding.
Mr. and Mrs. Lino have a daughter, Mrs. C. W. Nash, Syracuse, N. Y.; a son, George D. Lino, who lives with his parents; a grandson, Leonard Wilson, Trinidad, and two great-grandchildren. All will be in Denver for the delayed anniversary observances.
First name is written as Dominic in article about 50th wedding anniversary and on his wife's death certificate. He is listed as Domenico in the 1940 census, which could be his original name.
CGS letter of 11 May 2002 says that there was a baby buried at Calvary Cemetery with the notation "28 June 1883, child of D. Lino". The 1900 census notes that Therese had five children, three of whom were living, so this could have been one of them.
The name on his death certificate is hard to read, but probabably Domnick Lino.
Died at home (1114 Mariposa St.). Can't read cause of death, but maybe a heart attack?

This is a questionable identification. The name is hard to read, and actually looks more like "S. Leno" than anything. However, he is a barber (probably; also hard to read) and from Italy, so it's a possible match. Age is listed as 25, which doesn't really fit, but I have seen plenty of others with inconsistent ages. He is listed as a boarder in Enumeration District 14, Denver, Arapahoe Co., CO. I can't read the name of the family he is boarding with.

Microfilm: T623 roll 119; Vol. 3, Sheet 6, E.D. 92, Arapahoe Co., CO
Listed as Domnick Lino, 41 years old. Born Sep 1858 in Italy. Address 1114 S. 9th St., Denver, CO, owned home free. Father born in OH, mother born in Australia -- I'm pretty sure this is a mistake; this was the national descent of the three people above him, and I think the enumerator accidentally wrote it on an additional line. He was a naturalized citizen. Household consisted of Dominick, Therese, Rose, Joie, and George Lino.
