1891-1895 St. Paul Directories: Jacob Bacigalupo

The 1890-91 Directory had no entry for Giacomo Bacigalupo. He reappears in the 1891-92 Directory rooming at 359 Jackson and calling himself "Jacob," a more anglicized version of the Italian "Giacomo." He is working as a clerk presumably for Giovanni Bacigalupo's confectionery at 359 Jackson.

The 1894 St. Paul Directory has no entry for Jacob Bacigalupo. I suspect he may have been out of the country. According to the 1900 Census, 1894 was the year of his marriage to Theresa. The 1895 Directory shows him living again at 166 Martin with August Bacigalupo which is confirmed by the 1895 MN Census. He is working with a Joseph Derbarbieri at a confectionery on 305 Jackson.
