Grandfather Procopio Geminiano was born in Urdaneta, Pangasinan, Philippines, at the beginning of the 20th Century. He was a very talented musician who joined the US Army as a member of the 31st US Infantry Regimental Band.
He married Lucina De Vera on June 9, 1922. They had six daughters: Martina (stillborn), Aniceta, Corazon, Consolacion , Pepita, and their last daughter who only lived a few months, Adela
Popular with the American soldiers, "Jimmy" composed music for the Regiment and taught people to play the piano, violin, sax and trumpet. He played with the military band at the Luneta, which in the 20s was the garden spot of the Manila.
Sgt Geminiano died suddenly at age 32, while on duty at Headquarters US Army Garrison, Post of Manila. It was a Thursday. [note: military determined murdered by poisoning]
He was buried on March 27 (following an autopsy, suspected murder/poisoning) with full military honors following a procession from Intramuros to Ft. McKinley.
Following World War II, his remains — and those of hundreds of others buried at Ft. McKinley and other US cemeteries in the Philippines — were moved to Clark Cemetery.
