Nicola Galardi (1) xxxx-xxxx Caroline Bruno (1) xxxx-xxxx xxxx. Both were born in Italy. 190x. They immigrated to the United States at the turn of the century. About 1902. They settled in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. xxxx. What Nicola did for a living is unknown. xxxx. They lived in a small two bedroom home in Philadelphia, in later years Caroline ran a small candy store. She also made raisin wine and sold it, even though it was during the prohibition years. xxxx. Caroline was said to be a small woman, with a will of her own. That trait shows up quite often in the Galardi family. xxxx. They spent some time in Abruzzi, Venice, Rome, Holland, London, Paris and then back to England where they lived in Huddersfield. xxxx. Nicola lived to be 94 years old. His son Albert said many times he would have lived to be a 100, if a window had not fallen on his head. This was indirectly responsible for his death. It seems he became very senile after that incident, and often wandered away. Caroline would take him for long walks to tire him out and keep him from wandering off. He finally was hurt on one of his excursions, and was taken to Philadelphia General Hospital, where he died the next day. xxxx. Caroline died of stomach cancer, she was in her 80's.
