DESCRIPTION ILASCO, MO -  Although the actual wedding took place in Italy, soon after Pantaleone  emigrated  to Ilasco where he worked for the Atlas Portland Cement Company.  He left behind his new wife Rosa who was pregnant.  Six years later he sent for Rosa and his daughter Daisy to join him in Ilasco.  Rosa took a poignant photograph of herself and her family before leaving because she knew she would never see them again.  At one time Pantaleone worked at the plant while the family ran a grocery store and took in borders.  Later they sold the store and bought a farm which Pantaleone worked after his shift at the plant.  Altogether they had 13 children, all but Daisy born in Ilasco.
