23 Sep 1998: Naturalization papers obtained from the Genesee County History Center indicate that Augustino petitioned for citizenship April 2, 1919 at Moutiers St. Jean, Cote d'or, France! The petition states that he had been in the American Expeditionary Forces in France since April 30, 1918, so he had been fighting in Europe for nearly a year for the United States while still an Italian citizen! The papers further state that he emigrated from Termini Imerese on March 5, 1902 (Approx. 9 1/2 years old) and arrived in the United States through the Port of New York City on March 15, 1902 on an unknown ship. He had an amended petition for citizenship on May 7, 1926 (I don't know why there was an amended petition) and his oath of allegiance read in part: "I hereby declare, on oath, that I absolutely and entirely renounce and objure all allegiance and fidelity to any foreign prince, potentate, state, or sovereignty, and particularly to Victor Emmanuel III, King of Italy,..."
On the petition, his height was listed as 71" (6' 1"), his complexion was "light", eyes were "gray" and hair was "brown" with no birth marks!

The first family car was purchased by Anna Sansone Caito with funds provided by her father. She bought a 1932 Hudson! Her son, Samuel J. Caito, remembers having the car in 1944 when he was in college (remember those were the war years and one had to hold on to a car for quite a while). In 1948, when cars were available again, the family bought a 1948 Oldsmobile Hydromatic (automatic transmission) for a price in the mid-$600.00! And, you HAD to trade in your car in order to buy a new car.
