Bollini, William - Without doubt this is the age of the young man. Conditions 
are such that men are developed rapidly and the demand for the enthusiasm and 
energy of youth is insistent and steady. No longer is it necessary for a man 
to wait until time has silvered his hair and lined his face before he can 
command the confidence of his fellow men. Real worth is recognized without 
thought of age. Thus it is that many of the most important offices of every 
community are in the capable hands of the younger generation, and these 
progressive men are proving the wisdom of electing them while they are in the 
full vigor of young manhood. One of the striking examples of what can be 
accomplished by the younger men of today is shown in the career of William 
Bollini, city clerk of Coal City, to which office he was elected April 1, 1912.

Mr. Bollini was born in this city in 1886, a son of Dominic and Mary (Marron) 
Bollini. The father was born in Northern Italy, while the mother is a native 
of Switzerland. She went to Italy where she met Mr. Bollini and they were 
there married, coming to the United States in 1883. They settled at Coal City, 
Ill., where he entered the mines, and worked in them until a few years since, 
when he retired, but both he and his wife are still living at Coal City. They 
had four children: Minnie, William, Julius and Dominic.

William Bollini attended the schools of Coal City, and after finishing his 
courses he began working as a clerk in a store, thus continuing until 1904, 
when he entered the employ of the Public Service Company of Chicago, with 
which he is still connected. Taking an enthusiastic interest in Coal City he 
has great faith in its future and is doing all in his power to advance its 
material prosperity. The Republican party has always had in him one of its 
most effective supporters.

In 1907 Mr. Bollini married Katherine Borella of Coal City. They have two 
children: William Antone and Maria Frances. Mr. and Mrs. Bollini are Roman 
Catholics.
