Carlo Bruno
CARLO BRUNO, general merchant and butcher of Rural Valley, was born in
Longobard (Lombardy), Italy, Jan 15, 1860 and a son of Vincenzo and
Rosa(Provinzana) Bruno.In 1888 Mr. Bruno came to the United States, and for the next eight years
worked as a laborer on railroads and in the mines, during that peroid saving
his money thriftily so that in 1896 he was able to enbark in business as a
butcher at Walston, JeffersonCo, Pa. For four years he did a good business at
this point, and then sold to come to Rural Valley, Armstrong Co, Pa. Here he
established himself as a butcher and general merchant and his progress shows
that he was wise in making the change. Although he is one of the pioneer
Italian merchants of the valley, his trade is not confined to those of his own
nationality, his store being liberally patronized by all the people in the
neighborhood.On Jan 29, 1895, Mr Bruno was married to Josephine Pellegrion, daughter of
Frank and Francisca Pellegrino of Castiglione Marittimo Italy. Two children
have been born to Mr.and Mrs. Bruno and his family belong to St. Mary’s Roman
Catholic church at Yatesboro. He is a member of St Joseph’s Society and is an
execellent representative of the substantial class of Italians who have
settled in this county and developed into such reliable business men.Politically Mr. Bruno is a Republican, but he has never sought office.
