Living "off' Summer Street in that year were Joseph DeFilice, a laborer, and his wife Theresa. By 1935, the Comeiro family is identified specifically at 36 Summer Street. Its members included Silvio and his wife Rose, both born in Italy, and five children. (In 1926, they were at said to be at 6 Summer Street, which might have referred to this house.) Silvio is listed as a farmer in 1936, but was commonly described as a laborer. From 1945 on, no one at this address was identified as a farmer. The Comeiro family remained at this house through at least 1965. One or more of Joseph and Rose's grown children are identified here in 1945 and 1965. Their known occupations were employment in a box factory, mechanic, and truck driver; the youngest son served in the Army during World War II. Further research is recommended to determine the history and significance of this property, particularly as it relates to Lexington's agricultural history.
