John Ullian lived with his brother Valentino and wife Teresa in Centerville,
Iowa where they both worked as miners in the coal mines. His nephew Anthony
Soardi Ullian also lived there.
John was called for service in the First World War in 1917. He went to
Rockford, Illinois, to Campo Grant where he received his basic training.
He was then sent overseas where he fought in France. He was gassed and
suffered a bayonet wound in his arm.
Upon return from duty he went to Rockford where he entered the landscape
business with his Ferraro friends from back in the Alpine Region of Northern
Italy.
His future wife, who he probably knew in Italy, came over in November 20,
1920. They were married in December , 1920. See how they must have known one
another in Italy?
They went on to have six children.
His wife Linda died in the 1929 flu epidemic leaving five minor children.
John in 1930 put them all in an orphans home and went to work in Texas where
he remained until the 1950's. It is not known why he chose Texas.
He returned to Joliet, Illinois where he lived on a farm bought by his sons
after serving in WWII.
John worked as a landscape gardener. He also worked for Joliet Heating for a
period.
With service connected injuries he was entitled to care from the US Veterans
Hospital. He needed care for lung problems.
He died of pneumonia at 80 years of age.
To his last days he could recite his military service number.
Any information available about the ancestry of Antonio would be
appreciated. Contact the Ullian Family History Project secretary for dependency
information. Much of this data is also needed.
Ullian
Over the years I have collected names similar to Ullian as a curiosity. A
derivative of Julius Cesar, for sure, the Julian Calendar, as well as these last
names may seem to follow. To suggest additions and add nationalities send an
email to dularson@bellsouth.net
Ullian is my middle name. It was the maiden name of my mother. The spelling
is Ullian. But I have documents from Italy which show relatives spelling the
name Ulian. The immigration workers probably came as close to the pronunciation
by the immigrant as they could. Hence many families say their name changed at
Ellis Island.
