*** Vincenzo Palisano (1904 - 1988) - James was born in Sicily in 1904. He arrived in the United States with his mother, brother and sister on November 28, 1909.

James worked as a barber in Lockport, NY for many years, eventually owning his own shop with his brother Charles at 18 Lock Street. They advertised as a union shop. The brothers spent a lot of time together and presumably had some arguments- James even filed charges against his brother after one fight, but later withdrew the charges.

He married Josephine in January 1928. They had at least four children: Phylis M., James, Catherine, and Rose.

The Lockport paper reported a story about him losing a bet over the 1934 World Series - he bet on the Detroit Tigers, who lost 11 to 0, and had to push fellow barber Walter Gormley down Main Street in a wheelbarrow. They printed another story and his picture when he bought a new car with $850 in all silver dollars, which he saved for four years. James died on January 9, 1988.
