Ellis Island 28 Nov 1908 - Maria Pagura Mian, age 20 (? very hard to decipher), and daughter Rina, age 2, to Boston to join husband Angelo - from Arba (south of Meduno, NW of Spilimbergo). Left mother Caterina Louisa.

“Maria Mian, (maiden name Pagura) that possibly the climate was too cold and so she decided to go back to Italy (Arba) when my dad was around 3-4 years old. “ ca 1916 - L. W. Mian July 2011

ANgelo’s WWI draft registration says that Maria is in “Milazzo”, Italy (there is a Milazzo, but it is in Sicily, so this seems like a misinterpretation of another place name, perhaps Maniago which is near Fanna and Arba, probably the original towns of the couple). Angelo is working for Waldo Brothers of Boston, doing terrazzo work in Kingfield, Franklin, Maine.
