Book - Greeks of Stark County (Ohio) - 403 Greek Names

The book "GREEKS OF STARK COUNTY, Images of America Series" was authored by William H. Samonides and Regine Johnson Samonides.  Published by Arcadia Publishing in 2009.  

The books in the Images of America Series include photographs on almost every page, this book is no exception. The GREEKS IN STARK COUNTY includes 215 photographs.  For your convenience I have listed below the 403 Greek names included in the book.

Book description:  By the early 20th century, Stark County was one of the fastest-growing regions in the nation. The home of martyred president William McKinley had become a major industrial center, with alloy steel as the engine of growth for the booming local economy. To fill the ever-increasing demand for labor, waves of immigrants from Greece and Asia Minor settled in Canton and Massillon. Some sought economic opportunity; others were fleeing the Pontian Black Sea coast, where ethnic cleansing of Greeks accompanied the creation of the Turkish state. For the immigrant earning less than $3 a day, building a church meant making a commitment to a new life. In Canton, St. Haralambos Greek Orthodox Church was founded in 1913 and Holy Trinity Greek Orthodox Church in 1917. In Massillon, St. George Greek Orthodox Church was established in 1931. Churches and mutual aid organizations provided cohesiveness to the dynamic, often fractious, Greek community, which survived world wars, economic depression, and social discrimination and continues to flourish today.
