Frank Debiasio came into the United States from Roccamonifino, Italy on 12 April 1901. He changed the spelling of his last name from Dibiasio to Debiasio. The reason for this is because it was spelled wrong on his naturalization papers. Before Frank Sr. died he insisted that his head stone spelling be Dibiasio. The Family stone is spelled Debiasio but
Franks is spelled Dibiasio.
When Mr. Debiasio arrived from Italy in 1901, he traveled from the Brunswick railroad station down to Maine St. covered with deep mud. Pedestrians used planks to cross the street. People who had come to town to "trade" hitched there horses to post. Debiasio had to resort to sign language, but soon learned enough English to become a citizen. He met several other Italians who worked in the feldspar mines at Cathance where Debiasio joined his uncle, Antonio Debiasio, upon coming to this country.
His first job at the mines was a water boy. He carried drinking water to the men who worked in the quarries and his daily pay was 90 cents for a ninehour day, (in those days a pair of shoes cost a dollar and a half or less and one could buy a whole chicken for 50 cents), a rate which he doubled when Major Willis employed him in the mines drilling and blasting and in charge of a crew of men. Debiasio also worked for Norman Smith who was instrumental in building the feldspar mill in Topsham Village and in getting the siding laid to Elm St., where formally teams of horses had hauled the "spar." For 22 years he was timekeeper and foreman at Consolidated Feldspar.
During the depression he moved his family to Peace Dale Rhode Island and later to Portland Connecticut so he could work in the feldspar mines for the same company he worked for in Topsham Maine. About 1931 the family moved back to Topsham Maine where they lived in a camp on Tedford road one winter. They owned a house on Cathance road before they left the first time but when they came back the family (Trufant) renting the house would not move out but bought it instead. He them bought land and a house with 5 acres on Middlesex road for $2500.
[139] He was 2 hours away from his 88th birthday when he died.
