Description

Anthony Petropulos immigrated from Greece to Massachusetts in 1897. He moved to Lewiston around 1915 and worked for the Lewiston Police Department from 1918 to 1945.

Anthony Petropulos married another Greek immigrant, Anastasia Kargas, in 1922 and they raised two children. They were active members of the Greek community in Lewiston, especially in the Greek Orthodox Church.

Written in Greek and English, this baptism record for Anthony and Anastasia's son, John, was recorded in 1930.
