8. | Marcus DeCastro Villarosa was born on 8 Oct 1893 in Imus, Cavite Province, Philippines (son of Venancio Villarosa and Bebiana De Castro); died on 6 Nov 1968 in Los Angeles, Los Angeles Co, California. Notes: Marcus DeCastro Villarosa was b 8 Oct 1893 in Imus, Cavite Provence, Philippines to Vinancio Villarosa (b. est 1872 in Cavite Provence; d. 9 Jun 1942 in Imus) and Bibiana DeCastro (b. est 1862 in Kawit, Cavite Province; d. 20 Sep 1938 in Bacoor, Cavite Provence). After the Spanish American War and the subsequent Philippines-American War in which the United States acquired Philippines as its first imperialist act, Marcus joined the United States Navy in 1909 using the pseudonym Tommy or Thomas or Timoteo for a given name and Legaspi or Legassky for a surname. In the 1920 US census there is a Thomas Legassky or Thomas Legasphy, aged 25, who was born in Philippines and whom resided on Westminster Street, Wilkes-Barre, Ward 15, Luzerne County, Pennsylvania. Thomas was a boarder in the household of Willard and Edna Williams. His marital status was "divorced" and he was a laborer in a machine shop earning wages. He was able to read and write. In the 1930 census, Thomas had abandoned his Navy name but it turned out as Marke Villa Rosa in the census. Similar information from the 1920 census for Thomas Legassky is found for Marcus in the 1930 census. He resided on McLeon Street, Wilkes-Barre, owned his own house valued at $6000, and had no radio set. His age at first marriage (Gertrude Thomas) was 29, his father and mother were born in Philippine Islands and they spoke Spanish. From the 1930 census we learn Marke's immigration year was 1918. He was a naturalized US citizen and spoke English, his occupation was foreman in a carpet mill, and he earned wages or salary. In 1930, the Villa Rosas household members were: Marke, aged 35; Gertrude (Sr) aged 25; Gertrude (Jr) aged 5; Gladys aged 4; Marcus (Jr) aged 3; Paul aged 1; and a Mary Mailander aged 46. Marcus D Villarosa and his wife Gertrude are found in the 1933 Wilkes-Barre Pennsylvania City Directory living at 200 Barney. His WWII draft registration card says he was working at American Cart Foundry Co, Willkes-Barre PA. In a Veterans Administration application for a headstone filed by Marcus' wife, Gertrude dated 18 Feb 1969 shows an enlistment date of 7 Aug 1909, a discharge date of 6 Aug 1913, and a rank of "Matt 1st Class" (Mess Attendant)* Marcus' burial place and the location of the headstone is George Washington Memorial Park, Paramus, New Jersey. At the time of the application, Gertrude E. Villarosa was living at 92 Turner Rd, Pearl River, New York. Since the dates of WWI were 28 Jul 1914 to 11 Nov 1918 and the US entered the war 6 Apr 1917 apparently Marcus was not involved in WWI. Marcus married Gertrude Egbert Cressler about 1918 in Wilkes-Barre, Luzerne Co, Pennsylvania. Gertrude (daughter of Frederick Richard Wolfe Thomas and Mary Adaline Cressler) was born on 22 May 1904 in Wilkes-Barre, Luzerne Co, Pennsylvania; died on 27 Sep 1974 in Santa Monica, Los Angeles Co, California.
