Eugenio "Eugene" Ghirardelli
(merchant, May 1862-disappeared in 1909; legally declared dead in 1921)
Youngest son Eugene did not seem to fare as well as his other more successful siblings. He did not work for Ghirardelli & Sons as did his older brothers, but tried to run his own venture, E. Ghirardelli Mercantile Company, which failed, leaving him to be sued in Superior Court. Eugene married Rosie (or Rosa) Capelli, with whom he had two children, but in 1909 he "ran out on his wife and disappeared" and was declared legally dead by his wife in 1921.
*** Son of Domenico Ghirardelli, founder of the Ghirardelli Chocolate empire.
