Nick Lococo, an Italian immigrant who lived in Danville in the 1940s, tried to locate his family in Italy during the World War II battle action in Europe but without success. That changed in March 1944 when word came from a Frankfort soldier serving there located Lococo family members.
The March 24, 1944, edition of the Advocate call the news an “unusual coincidence of the current war” after hearing the story. Lococo had attempted to locate his family in Italy and Porticello, Sicily, where heavy bombing occurred during an invasion.
