| Notes for Charles Valentine Grisso |
On both of his marriage applications, Charles listed his occupation as "harness maker", a trade he learned from his father. As the demand for harnesses decreased, however, his leather working shop was converted to mostly shoe repair, beltmaking and other cobblery. He served as a sheriff's deputy for Kosciusko Co. for a period of time, but in quiet rural Sydney this was a part time occupation. By the time my mother was in high school, he was in his late sixties, and working as the janitor at Sydney High.
Wabash Co. Death Certificate Bk 18809, p. 95, line 842, lists Charles Valentine Grisso, harness maker, b. 14 Feb 1884 in Indiana, father Adam, mother Julia Ann Huffman; d. 15 July 1966, age 82, in Pleasant View Nursing Home.
The Social Security death index lists Charles Grisso, b. 14 Feb 1884, d. July 1966, SSN 316-34-3772 issued in Indiana, last residence Wabash, IN. |
