There are a number of Italians at Coal City and among them Charles Gioanetti occupies a deservedly prominent place, as his bakery is one of the leading business houses of its kind in the city. He was born in northern Italy, January 21, 1873, a son of Joe and Gretta (Domenich) Gioanetti, both of whom died in Italy. The father was a baker. They had thirteen children, of whom four survive, Charles being the youngest. Charles Gioanetti attended school in his native land, where he was taught the trade of a baker. In 1901 he came to the United States locating at Chicago, where he lived until 1907, when he came to Coal City and opened his present establishment in partnership with G. Zeano, but is now alone. His is the only Italian bakery in the city, and consequently receives a large patronage from his fellow countrymen, although he does a substantial amount of business with others who appreciate the quality of his product. Mr. Gioanetti owns his own building which is conveniently located on the main street of Coal City. In 1903 Mr. Gioanetti married Theresa Marango, and they have three children: Joe, Lucy and Mary. The Catholic Church holds the family membership, while Mr. Gioanetti is a Republican, politically. Energy and hard work have placed him where he is now, and undoubtedly will still further advance his fortunes. page 817 Additional Comments: Source: History of Grundy County, Illinois, Chicago: Munsell Publishing Co.
