Menozzi, Isodoro, one of the business men of South Wilmington, is another of 
the sons of Italy who have succeeded in the new world which he chose as his 
home. He was born in northern Italy in 1875, a son of Caeser and Clotilda 
(Ferrari) Menozzi, both natives of Italy. The father was a merchant and farmer 
in his native land, continuing in business until his death. The mother is also 
deceased, both passing away in Italy. They had the following children:  
Artimeo, who resides in Italy; Rita, who resides at Clark City, Ill.; Peter, 
who resides at Cardiff, Ill.; Massimo, who lives in Italy; Isodoro; and Marie, 
who lives in Italy, living, and Angelo, who died in Italy; Joseph, who was 
killed at Clark City, Ill., in a mine accident; four who died when very young; 
and Clementa, who died in Italy.

Isodoro Menozzi assisted his father while attending school, thus continuing 
until he was thirteen years old, at which time he began working as a laborer.  
Within three years he went to France and was employed in excavating a tunnel.  
Desiring to enter broader fields, he came to the United States in 1906, and 
for a year worked in the mines at Coal Gate, Okla., but returned to Italy in 
1907 and gave his country a military service of one year. In 1909 he returned 
to Oklahoma, but after a short stay, came to South Wilmington, Ill., and 
embarked in his present business. He is also treasurer of East Brooklyn, Ill., 
and is high regarded by his associates.

In 1902 Mr. Menozzi was married to Gilda Monari, the ceremony taking place in 
Italy.  Mr. and Mrs. Menozzi have had four children: Caesar, Hattie, Nora and 
Frederico, all at home. He belongs to the Eagles, the Marco Polo Lodge of the 
Solar Risplendente. The Catholic Church holds his membership. Politically he 
is a Republican, and a leader in his party.
