      JAMES MARCELLO, well known in the city of Portsmouth as a gen-
eral contractor, was born in Italy, April 18, 1862, a son of William Marcello,
who never came to this country. James Marcello came to the United States
when fourteen years old, at first residing in New York for about two years.
From there he drifted to different places until he reached Boston, where he
obtained employment as foreman for a construction company. Subsequently
coming to Portsmouth, he started his present business, in which he has been
eminently successful. During the thirteen years in which he has resided here
he has built a number of the large and important buildings in the city, and is
now engaged in putting in pipe for the Kittery Water Company. Last year
(1913) he laid nine miles of pipe, his contract for this year calling for three
miles. He now has thirty-five men in his employ, last year having as many
as one hundred. Mr. Marcello has been twice married, having two children
by his first wife, Emelio and Carrie, and four by his second, namely James
W., Allen William, John and Helen. Mr. Marcello owns a fine residence on
School street, in which he resides; also another residence on School street
and two business blocks on Market street. He belongs to the Foresters and
the Royal Arcanum, is independent in politics, and is a member of the Cath-
olic church. It would be hard to find a better representative of Portsmouth's
enterprising and successful citizens of foreign birth.
