Boggio, Charles - Owing to the former mining industries centered at Coal City, 
this community carries on considerable business and its merchants have to be 
prepared to meet the demands of representatives from numerous nationalities 
attracted to this point by the mines. One of the leading business men and 
merchants who has proven himself able to cope with all the conditions here is 
Charles Boggio, dealer in general merchandise. Mr. Boggio was born in Italy, 
and is one of the best examples of the live, progressive men of his country.  
His birth occurred October 21, 1885, and he is a son of Charles and Angeline 
Boggio. It 1888 the family came to the United States, settling at Braidwood 
where the father found employment in the coal mines, working there for some 
years, although he is now living retired at Coal City. He and his excellent 
wife had eight children, four of whom died in Italy, the others being:  Mary 
Cimia, Charles, John and Joseph. The members of the family are all Catholics. 
Mr. Boggio belongs to the Foresters. Politically he is a Republican but has 
never sought office, his time being fully occupied with the cares of his 
business. It was in 1907 that Mr. Boggio, recognizing the opening at Coal City 
for a good mercantile store, resolved to establish himself there. This he did 
in a small way at first, adding to his stock as trade increased, and now he 
has one of the leading stores of his kind at Coal City. Mr. Boggio handles a 
full and varied line of dry goods, groceries, boots and shoes and other 
commodities to be found in a first class establishment, and his success is 
fully justified for he is honorable in his methods and accommodating in his 
service. He owns his store building.

June 3, 1914, Mr. Boggio was married to Margaret Juliet Borella, at Coal City, 
Ill.
