Born
c. 1897, Zoupena, Greece

18 Nov 1915, Titusville, PA

Athanasios sailed from Naples on the Celtic with his uncle Jim Nickles, landing in New York on 10 April 1911, bound for Olean, New York. In America he went by “Thomas” and clerked in the Chios brothers’ store in Titusville, Pennsylvania, living with his sister Anna (opens in a new tab).

Four years later an ear infection turned into severe mastoiditis, and he died on 18 November 1915. It was a hard year for the family: his cousin John D. (opens in a new tab)’s wife Julia had died in childbirth that March.

Where the records disagree

  • Immigration records imply he was born in 1902. His death record gives his age as 18 years, 9 months and 8 days, which means February 1897. The family tree uses 1902.
