The News-Sentinel 1959 - Fulton County Public Library

Mr. Ninios, an expert candy maker, saw the candy kitchen become a popular gathering
place of the community’s younger persons, a position which it largely maintained until fire
destroyed the building in 1949.
A year later, the cousins reopened the Berghoff cafe in a new building on South Main
street, Peter continuing to operate his candy and ice cream business in the north half of the
structure.
Surviving are two brothers, Gus [NINIOS] South Bend, and John [NINIOS], still in
Greece; one sister, also in Greece, and two cousins, Louis and Christ [NINIOS], Rochester.
The body was taken to the Zimmerman Brothers funeral home. Arrangements are
incomplete.
