Notes
There are two August Corsiglias in the census records. Both born ~1882 and, yet, both as resturant owners. One of these is John B. Corsiglia's son, but it is difficult to determine which one (at this time).
Obiturary for Delphine (1963-02-20 Chicago Tribune): Delphine Corsiglia, nee Casazza, beloved mother of Dante and Augustine Corsiglia; grandmother of Donna Rose and Dante, Jr.; sister of Rose Corsiglia and the late Anthony, Raphael, and Linda Rouzan. Visitation at Jordan Funeral Home, 221 E. Erie street, Wednesday, 7 to 9 p.m. Service and Interment private. Please omit flowers.
Delphine sister Rose Corrine Casazza married August's brother Louis. Hence August and Louis married sisters Delphine and Rose and vice versa. To make things even more confusing, both families have a son named Dante.
Notes
August Corsiglia immigrated from Italy to the Unites States in 1896.
