Twelfth Generation

99. Domingo (tío Domingo de Sevilla) GRACIANI MARTÍN^{151,180,181,213} was born on 4 Aug 1828 in Aranjuez, Madrid, Spain.¹⁵³ He was living between 1856 and 1898 in Madrid, Spain.^153,214

He was a carpenter (carpintero).^{151,153,189,215} Según Isabel BESTEIRO GRACCIANI, escribiendo a su sobrina Carmen LAGOS BESTEIRO (de Signes), "el tío Domingo de Sevilla era un verdadero artista en obras de madera . . . fue él que construyó la casa de muñecas de la cual creo que habrás oido hablar a tu mamá, que entre otras cosas tenía una escalera de caracol perfecta hecha de un solo tronco de madera y los balcones y las puertas talladas, todo era una verdadera obra de arte." Según Ramón GRACIANI RUIZ, era un artesano en joyería.

Isabel BESTEIRO GRACCIANI, writing to her niece Carmen LAGOS BESTEIRO (Signes) wrote “your tío Domingo of Seville was a true artist in woodworking and it was he that built the doll house that I believe you have heard about from your mother which, among other things, had a perfect spiral staircase made from one tree trunk and with sculpted balconies and doors, all a wonderful work of art.” According to Ramón GRACIANI RUIZ he was an artist in jewelry.

He is listed in the Guía Gómez Zarzuela ("Guía de Sevilla") as "del comercio, Herbolario 21" in 1908. He is not listed in prior or succeeding years.

He appeared in the census in 1890 in Madrid, Spain.¹⁵³ He was a carpenter in Madrid, Spain in 1890.¹⁵³ Place of occupation as of the 1890 census: "Estación del Mediodía" [Atocha Station]. Sueldo anual 1460 pesetas. He lived at Calle de Atocha 94, segundo izquierda in Madrid, Spain on 1 Dec 1890. He appeared in the census in 1895 in Madrid, Spain.²¹⁶ He was unemployed ("ninguna [ocupación] - inutilizado") in 1895 in Madrid, Spain²¹⁶ He lived at Calle de Atocha 94 segundo izquierda in Madrid, Spain on 1 Dec 1895.²¹⁶ He moved to Sevilla, Spain in 1898.²¹⁶ He was living between 1898 and 1910 in Sevilla, Spain.^214,215 We know he moved to Seville in 1898 and that he was living in Seville in 1908, and it is thought that he died in approximately 1910. He died after 1908 in Sevilla, Spain.^152,217 Esperanza GRACIANI CASTILLA believes he died in Seville c. 1910. He was also known as el tio Domingo de Sevilla.¹⁵¹

Antonio GRACIANI VÁZQUEZ: "Era un Republicanote Federal de la vieja escuela, salió por pies de Madrid cuando los Cantonales, pues seguramente estaría en las barricadas. . . Yo lo llegué a conocer en Sevilla, recuerdo que tenía sobre la cama en vez de un Crucifijo, un gorro frigio y una bandera Republicana." GRACIANI VÁZQUEZ confirma la "leyenda" familiar de los GRACCIANI americanos: "Como anécdota te contaré, que cuando nacieron sus hijos quiso ponerle de nombre Federal a uno y Nitroglicerina a la otra, como es lógico el cura no quiso, los dejo sin bautizar hasta que se casaron. De Mónica (Nitroglicerina) no sé una palabra. De Segundo (Federal) si . . . [v. Segundo GRACIANI GARCÍA]." (Esta historia corresponde casi palabra por palabra con la historia que les contó Carmen LAGOS BESTEIRO (Signes) a sus hijos, con la excepción de que ella pensó que la hija se llamaba Cecilia.)

Antonio GRACIANI VÁZQUEZ writes "He was a full-blown Federal Republican of the old school, he had to beat it out of Madrid when the [federalist insurrection, c. 1873] failed. I got to know him in Seville, I remember that instead of a crucifx over his bed he had a Liberty Cap and a Republican flag." GRACIANI VÁZQUEZ confirms the "legend" of the American branch of the family. "As a story I'll tell you that when his children were born he wanted to call his son Federal and his daughter Nitroglicerine. As is logical, the priest didn't want to do that, so he left them without being baptized until they were married. I don't know a thing about Mónica (Nitroglicerine). I do know about Segundo (Federal) . . . [see entry for Segundo GRACIANI GARCÍA]."
(This corresponds almost word for word with the story the Signes children heard from their mother Carmen LAGOS BESTEIRO (Signes) throughout their childhood, except that she thought the girl's name was Cecilia.)
