DESCRIPTION ILASCO, MO - Gaspar Homolos immigrated to America in 1902, first to Painesville, Ohio, and then to Ilasco where he worked in the Atlas Portland Cement Company's quarry as a sledgehammer operator.  In 1905, he met and married another Hungarian immigrant, Rose Marie Molnar.  They had two children, Gizella Barbara and James.  Gaspar's wages were  not enough to maintain the family; therefore, in the early years, they took in borders to supplement his income.
