9. Joseph Perry1 (Pop) Barboza (JoseA, ManuelB, João LuisC) was born on 2 Mar 1889 in Pai Luis, São João Batista, Vila Real, on the island of Brava, Cape Verde, a Portuguese colony. His father, Arsenio, was 46, and his mother Ignez da Rosa was 20. He immigrated to the USA abt 1906 at the age of 17, booking passage by serving as a cabin boy on a two-masted schooner sailing out of Cape Verde. With the outbreak of hostilities in Word War 1, Joseph joined the army, enlisting on 22 Jun 1918 when he was 29 years old, serving out his enlistment at Camp Devens, Middlesex Co., Massachusetts, USA. Camp Devens was “ground zero” in the 1918 influenza pandemic. The first cases at Camp Devens were reported on September 8, 1918. By September 23rd, 10,500 of the 50,000 soldiers were infected due to the close quarters of the troops living there. The flu quickly spread to the nearby towns and inevitably struck Joseph’s family and friends. In late 1918, Joseph went AWOL to help the Petren family as his goddaughter Arienne Petren contracted the flu. Fortunately, Joseph escaped infection himself and was discharged from service after the end of the war on 29 Jan 1919. After the war he worked at a textile mill where he met Catherine Nescior. The couple married on 19 Oct 1919 and settled to live in mill housing in Holyoke, Hampden Co., Massachusetts, USA. He later (during the 1940’s) worked at Stevens Arms, an armory in
Holyoke. He lost part of two fingers on his right hand in an industrial accident. He loved cigars and western novels by Louis Lamour. Joseph and Catherine had nine children in 12 years. He died on 8 Jun 1974 in Chicopee Falls, Hampden Co., Massachusetts at the age of 85.
