If you want to see Ron Pearse, Class of 1961, a psychology professor at Fairmont State with his own professional services on Locust Avenue,  dance with Emily Gallagher during the Marion County Dancing With the Stars United Way fundraiser, click on


Ron is the son of T.J. and Madge Pearse of Monongah. Ron’s flower gardens were featured in a Fairmont Times article.

T.J. is a former Marion County schools superintendent who changed his family Prezioso name to Pearse.
 
The Pearse family had the brick home on the elevated land off U.S. 19 just behind the coal shed on the Olesky property on Church Street. A wall kept the Pearse dirt from cascading onto the sidewalk alongside U.S. 19 and the Olesky property.

The late Madge Pearse is connected to Arnold (J.B.) Loss, husband of Suzanne Barr Loss, Class of 1948, of Mill Fall, by blood or marriage. Which means that I may have a round-about tie to the Pearse family since my mom’s sister, Gezala Loss, was married to Frank Loss, brother of Arnold’s dad. Frank and the original J.B.’s siblings were Elizabeth Loss, Rose Tropea (of Tropea Grocery), Mary McGraw, William Loss and Virginia Loss.

T.J.’s parents were Alexendra and Lavania Serge Prezioso. The other children are Ramon Paige of Shinnston, Teresa Prezioso Mangino, Lenora Prezioso Romeno, Elvita Prezioso Knight, Jeannette Prezioso Domico, Nick Prezioso, Celic Prezioso, Roman Prezioso Sr., Arthur Prezioso and Albert Prezioso.

The next generation of Preziosos, besides Lavinia, include Josephine Prezioso Westfall of Monongah, Bea Prezioso Mangino of Michigan, Brulina Prezioso Sweeney of Vienna, Barbara Prezioso Vozniak (married to  Mitch Vozniak) of Monongah, Marie Prezioso of Charleston, Eugene Prezioso and wife Pat of Michigan, Nick Domico and wife Ellen of Fairmont, Dr. Ronald Pearse and wife Julia of Fairmont and West Virginia state senator Roman Prezioso and wife Debbie of Fairmont.
