When I looked for Dugliese somewhere, Google suggested
Pugilese instead.
There are a few hits at fultonhistory.com for Carmina Pugilese, including a case against the executor of her will. That one called her
Carmela Pugilese, sometimes known as Carmina Pugilese.
Searching for Carmela Pugliese found this. The date looks like about December 1924--the top of the paper is cut off in the image.
Executions issued
Carmela Pugliese in favor of Jonathan Collinge, $44.08
Carmela Pugliese in favor of Sidney Collinge, infant, $424.63
https://www.rootschat.com/links/01pvg/Infant does not mean "babe in arms". I don't know exactly the legal usage, but Sidney was under age. So your family won the case.
-------
She was a grocer.
1924 Rochester City Directory
Howard F Barnes (Myrtle), lawyer 301 Powers Building, home 445 Flower City pk
Anna S Collinge, tailoress, h 273 Wilder
Carmina Pugliese (widow of Donato) grocer at 293 Orange
Leon Pugliese (K Pk) resides 293 Orange
So she probably owned a store. In 1925 both Jonathan and Sidney Collinge were painters. Maybe they did some work for her and didn't get paid. ??
And in 1928, in County Court, she is the defendant in a complaint for foreclosure of a mortgage. So she owned property. Again, maybe they painted at one of her homes and weren't paid.
I didn't keep that link, but it shows up when you look for her as Carmina or Carmela, I forget which.
