I believe he was named after his grandfather Domenico, a shop keeper in Taranta Peligna.
After arriving at Ellis Island,he spent a short time in New York. Then he made his way to Seattle, Washington. Later, he married Christine Olson (from Sweden) on June 4, 1913. She was born Oct. 19, 1887 & died in 1968.
Tom was a superb tailor. He obtained the finest Italian silk and could make a man's suit to fit perfectly. He is shown in one in the photo.
He and Christine had one son, Irving. After Christine & Irving passed away, Tom went back to Taranta Peligna & lived in a hotel for awhile visiting family.
He passed away in Seattle at the age of 90.
