LELIO
V. PAULUCCI
LELIO V. PAULUCCI, of
the firm of Paulucci & Casassa,
commission merchants and general produce dealers, 515 and 517 Davis street, San
Francisco, dates his birth near the city of Lucca,
Italy, October 20, 1855, the youngest of seven children of Vincent and Alisabetta (Pucini) Paulucci; the parents, also natives of Italy, are deceased,
the father dying in 1874 and the mother surviving until 1887.
Our subject emigrated to America and landed at San Francisco in 1871, where he secured a position as grocery clerk,
occupying the same for some three years, when he went to Mendocino county and
engaged in mining for a year. This business not being in keeping with his
tastes, however, he returned to San Francisco and engaged in clerking for many years. In 1884 he
became the partner of Mr. Casassa (whose sketch is
given elsewhere), and has since carried on the commission business in this
relation. Their trade has continued to flourish and increase in volume
from the day of opening, and is now classed among the most substantial in the
city.
Mr. Paulucci was married in San Francisco, October 26, 1879, to Miss Katherine J. Murphy, a native of Iowa, and they have three children living and one daughter deceased. The
living are Eva, Lelio and
Vincent; Estelle died in 1881.
In politics Mr. Paulucci is a conservative Democrat, and quite active in
local matters. He is a member of Laurel Grove, No. 17, A. O. D., and of
the Knights of Honor—both of San Francisco. Mr.
Paulucci was naturalized in San Francisco in 1883.
