JOHN RAINER
Arizona, The Youngest State, 1913, pg 631

John Rainer, deceased, was prominently identified with 
mercantile interests of Globe as a member of the firm of 
Zucco and Company, grocers. He was born in Tyrol, Austria 
in 1876 and acquired his education in his native country.  
When he was eighteen years of age he crossed the Atlantic 
to America and spent three years in New York state, later 
coming west and settling in Colorado, where for seven years 
he engaged in mining.  From that state he went to Washington 
and after mining there for a short time came to Arizona, 
settling in Globe in 1904. He turned his attention to the 
grocery business shortly after his arrival and in that line 
his well directed efforts met with a gratifying measure of 
success.  He was associated with Messrs. Zucco and Bono in 
the firm of Zucco and Company, owning a fine establishment 
at 485 North Broad Street--one of the leading retail grocery 
houses in the city.  An important and growing trade was built 
up, Mr. Rainer's energy, aggressiveness and initiative 
contributing in substantial measure to this result.  He 
continued his connection with that business until his death, 
which occurred October 8, 1915.

In 1902 Mr. Rainer married Mrs. Anna Vidano, a native of 
Italy, who came to America in 1892.  She was the widow of 
Sam Vidano, who passed away in 1899, leaving three children: 
Peter, of Globe, now engaged in the jewelry business; Edward, 
who lives in Italy; and Lena, who also lives in Globe.  To Mr. 
and Mrs. Rainer were born two children: Carrie, born in 1903 
and John, born in 1906.
