VIEIRA A

 

 My Antone Vieira

This section is about a friend of my gramp & grandma, a very very dear friend, who we knew all of our lives & who lived on the third floor of my grandmother's home for many years.

 

Antone (as we called him) was b 5/5/1889 in Sao Nicolau, Cape Verde Islands.  (I have reason to wonder about this as I have not found his baptism).    He was the son of Manoel S. Vieira & Narciza Maria Ramos.

(It should be noted here that you would think that I could just go to that particular date in the Catholic Church records to find his birth.  But I can't.  First - there are two churches -  do Rosario & da Lapa. Secondly, there are no birth certificates.  The way that you find births is via the baptismal certificate.  I am told by a person from the islands that there was a proscribed period in which the baptism had to be completed or the person was fined (had to pay an additional fee).  So a certificate should be found within a year from the date of birth.

 

  Antone was married to Louiza Barros Vieira.  It appears that he was single when he arrived in the US at age 23 on his birthday, 5/5/1912. (It could also be that he assumed this birthdate b/c it was the date of his arrival).      He was the brother of Theophile Manoel Viera (b.  d.     )  & Jose Manoel Vieira (b. 8/3/1887, d. 12/1/1967).  He entered on the Ship = William A. Grozier which left Fogo & arrived in New Bedford.  He left behind his father, Manoel S. (not sure yet what the S is for) & he would join his brother Jose/Joseph Manoel Vieira.  

 

At the end of his life, Antone lived at 323 Purchase Street.  He is buried at St. John's Cemetery in New Bedford, Massachusetts along with a number of other people (a huge stone) (Antone M. Viera 1889 - 1985, Luiza B. Vieira 1883 - 1955, Jose M. Vieira 1887 - 1967, Ann Vieira 1891 - 1964,  Manoel 1917 - 1998, & Theophile WHO SPELLED HIS NAME WITHOUT THE SECOND I.  1916 - 1998).  

 

Antone's Massachusetts Death Certificate indicates that he had been a speeder tender in a textile mill.  And in fact, my grandfather (John Anthony Santos/ Joao Antonio dos Santos) & Antone often worked together for a period in Boston.  

 

I have many memories of Antone but two that stand out are (1) He had a beautiful, clean & polished vehicle which he never drove.  It just sat in front of the house.  Each day he would get all dressed up in beautiful clothing and he would walk somewhere.  (2)  Ten years to the date of my gram's death he went to Church & then to the cemetery & then came home & sat in the Adirondack chair in the back yard - and died.  I think he chose his time.
