| 174 | Feb 18, 1937 applied for SS...resided at 75 E 2 Street, NY--- From Peter Huller: One thing that still puzzles me is how my grandparents got together. The existing tale was that Grandpa came to America with his father around 1922, realized American women weren't for him, and sent for Maria La Rosa, a neighbor girl, to come marry him. She came within a year. My Aunt Connie was born Feb 1, 1924. In light of the fact that Pietro came over in 1913, I'm wondering at what point did the decision for Maria to come over occur? How did that "long distance romance" take place? Of course I know that in those days, arranged marriages were common, but still, it's a question mark in my mind. A cute side story goes that when Grandma's boat came in, Pietro hopped in a little rowboat and went out to "guide the ship in." When they met on the dock (or wherever), I guess Pietro was chewing gum and Maria asked him what the heck he was chewing for so long and not swallowing! LOL What's sweet about the story is that it's somewhat indicative of their relationship, at least from my perspective - he was always the devoted, loving husband and she was the same, albeit in charge of the family. Again, that's how I saw it. Feb 18, 1937 applied for SS...resided at 75 E 2 Street, NY--- From Peter Huller: One thing that still puzzles me is how my grandparents got together.

| 184 | Frank "Chick" Salanitri, age 84, of West Babylon, New York passed away on Monday, September 28, 2020. Frank was born September 24, 1936. Frank is survived by his wife, Marie; son Joseph (Kim); son Michael; son Funzy (Leslee); and daughter Donna Cady (Joseph); granddaughter Elisabeth, grandson Joseph, grandson Zachary, grandson Michael, grandson Jack, grandson Shane, grandson Ryan, granddaughter Reed, granddaughter Sage, granddaughter Hannah, grandson Jake and granddaughter Ali. Chick was a proud United States Army Veteran and a member of the Softball Hall of Honor. His hobbies included; cars, softball, casinos, boating and golfing. Known affectionately as Chick amongst his friends and family, Frank lived a life full of passion until the very end. From his early days as a ball boy for the Syracuse Nationals, he held an appetite for many hobbies and recreations. Chick's love for sports, from baseball and basketball to bocce and bowling, was second to none. Whether spending time out on the water fishing or watching his grandchildren sing and play sports, he carried a joy with him wherever he went. A community man, Chick spent countless hours coaching in the West Babylon Little League and was an avid member of the Goodfellas Car Club. He founded West Babylon Electric in 1964, a legacy carried on by his children and grandchildren to this day. Above everything else, Chick always puts his family first. Alongside Marie, the love of his life and his wife of 61 years, he raised four beautiful children and twelve wonderful grandchildren. Restless and motivated, he poured his entire soul into everything he did. The fierceness of his love and support for everyone close to him continues to live on through his friends and family today. You're welcome to join us for his service on Friday, October, 2, 2020 at 12:30PM at Pinelawn Memorial Park to honor and celebrate Chick's life as we say our goodbyes.

| 186 | From George Colley (gwcolley@earthlink.net): Catharine Colley (a.k.a. Catherine Cauley or Cally) was born about 1816. She is assumed to be a daughter of William Colley. I believed she is one of the females listed in the 1820 Census for Wilkinson County Georgia. The Wilkinson Co. Georgia Historical Collections list Catherine Cauley as sister of Ransom Payne's wife (Elsie Cauley). Ransom Payne wife is with little question William Colley's daughter Ailcy Colley (a.k.a. Elsie Cauley). Catherine Cauley is reported to have been unmarried with children and living with a man named Eli Worthing born 1851, relationship unknown. The names of the children are: ? David Cauley, b.1832; d. before 1864. ? Elias Cauley, b. 1836; d. 6/5/1904 (Tombstone says 1900). ? William Harvey Cauley, b. 1835, d. 9/11/1909 (74 years old). ? Jane F. Cauley, b. 1842; d. ?. Catharine Colley is named in William Colley's Will without reference to relationship. She was left the small sum of $5.00 (less then the worth of one head of cattle). Catharine contested the Will of William Colley but after extensive litigation lost her case in the Georgia Calhoun Co. Superior Court. Catharine and her father must have been very strong willed people and this may have been the source of their conflict. Catharine's three sons were in the Civil War. David Cauley was reported killed in Spotsylvania VA. Other sources say he was wounded there and died later at home. David had legal papers fixed in 1854 to become his mother?s guardian, stating that Catherine was a "lunatic". Elias Cauley enlisted as private in Company H, 2nd Regiment, 1st Brigade, Georgia State Troops October 11, 1861. Mustered out 1862. Enlisted as a private in Company I, 57th Regiment Georgia Infantry May 3, 1862. Captured at Whitemarsh Island, Savannah, Georgia, on February 22, 1864. Released at Fort Delaware, Delaware June 16, 1865. Born in Wilkinson County Georgia in 1836. Died in Wilkinson County, Georgia on 6.5/1904. Gravesite: Griffin District (Joins Laerens Co.) of Wilkinson Co. GA, Walnut Creek Baptist Church Cemetery. William Harvey Cauley ? 1st Corporal ? May 3,1882. Captured at Vicksburg Mississippi July 4, 1863. Exchanged September 1863. Surrendered at Greensboro, North Carolina April 26, 1865. Born in Wilkinson County, Georgia in 1835. Died there 9 November at the age of 74. Gravesite: Griffin District (Joins Laerens Co.) of Wilkinson Co. GA, Walnut Creek Baptist Church Cemetery." | COLLEY, Catherine (I2051)

| 188 | From Philadelphia Inquirer: Joseph F. Pizzirusso, 79, of Springfield, Delaware County, a professor of engineering and inventor, died of cancer Saturday at Chester County Hospital. In 1967, Professor Pizzirusso became an instructor at Pennsylvania Military College - now Widener University. He retired from Widener in 2004 as a full professor. While teaching, he was also a consultant to corporations including Foamex and Scott Paper Co., and held several patents. In the 1990s, he helped develop an air-filtration system for the Defense Department to prevent sand from clogging the engines of Black Hawk helicopters deployed in deserts. Thirty years earlier, he designed a nuclear submarine heat-exchange unit for the Atomic Energy Commission. "He was a 'super genius,' " his daughter Diane Hoover said, but chose teaching over a lucrative full-time engineering career. At Widener he tutored students who were having difficulties with course work; at his grandson's elementary school in Chadds Ford, he volunteered to supervise hands-on science projects; and at schools in Chester he spoke to students about expanding their goals. Professor Pizzirusso grew up in New York. He earned a bachelor's degree and a master's degree in mechanical engineering from Brooklyn Polytechnic Institute. He and his wife, Rose Furnari Pizzirusso, spent their courtship in the New York Public Library while he researched his thesis. They married in 1952. From 1954 to 1963 he was an associate professor at the Cooper Union for the Advancement of Science and Art in New York. He had also taught at Pennsylvania State University and Delaware County Community College. His daughter said he was fascinated with how things worked and enjoyed home repair and improvement projects as well as gardening and painting. In addition to his wife and daughter, Professor Pizzirusso is survived by another daughter, Lynnore Compton; sons Joseph G. and Douglas; a brother; and five grandchildren. A Funeral Mass will be said at 11 a.m. today at St. Dorothy Church, 4910 Township Line Rd., Drexel Hill. Friends may call from 9:30 to 10:45 a.m. at Ruffenach Funeral Home, Township Line and Burmont Roads. Burial will be in SS. Peter and Paul Cemetery, Marple Township. Contact staff writer Sally A.

| 194 | Hi Jennifer, Thanks for getting back to me! I honestly didn't even think the email address would still work after so many years! :) This info is so exciting! My mom and I had pieced a lot of it together through her memories of her family in New York and Ellis Island records we found online - though those records don't seem to be too accurate. It's great to see it in tree form and see what we had right and wrong. Not sure if you are interested in filling out more info on this branch of the family tree as I know it's a little distant from yours, but I do have some dates and names to fill in if you needed them. Girolamo Cirrincione was born in 1888 in Misilmeri. He married twice after Cristina, but my mom can't remember their names and doesn't think they had any other children. He died in 1980 in Misilmeri - he had moved back there in his older years. Cristina and Girolamo just had Natale (my grandfather) and Giacomo. They were twins born in 1924, though looked completely different - Giacomo had blonde hair/blue-eyes (like Girolamo), and Natale had brown-hair/brown-eyes (like Cristina). Giacomo is still alive - he lives in Florida and calls my mom every once and awhile. Those three kids are correct for him, and his wife's name was Mary, though she died several years ago. They traveled to Misilmeri quite often as a family, and probably have much more knowledge of the family that had stayed in Italy - like Giustina. My mom had no knowledge of her. Natale married my grandmother, Marcella Chieco (1925-2007), in 1945 and had two kids: Gerald (who you spoke with) in 1946 and a daughter, Chrys, in 1953. That's my mom. She married James Moore in 1984 and had me in 1985. In July of this year, I am getting married too. How funny that Gerald was the one you connected with. He hadn't been in touch with us for years, but then when he resurfaced he knew so much about the family. I should reach out to him to see what he knows about Marcella's side. I actually found that 2000 forum thread while trying to find Concetina's (Giacomo Aiena's wife's) name. Everyone in the family had a nickname, so my mom only knew her nickname - Gudgettina (which we didn't even know how to spell). Concetina it is! My mom also remembers Josephina and Carmela. As far as Girolamo and Cristina's marriage record - we've never been able to find it either. That's what started this whole search - we have their wedding photo and were wondering what year it was taken. I'm attaching it since that's the closest thing to a marriage record we'll probably get for them :) Thanks again for all of this!! It's amazing how far you've traced it all back and it's been wonderful for my mom see all these old names again. Your website is such a great resource too. Hopefully when my mom and I do get to travel to see Misilmeri we can contribute some more research. Best, Francesca Hi Jennifer, Thanks for getting back to me!

He died in 1980 in Misilmeri - he had moved back there in his older years. Cristina and Girolamo just had Natale (my grandfather) and Giacomo. They were twins born in 1924, though looked completely different - Giacomo had blonde hair/blue-eyes (like Girolamo), and Natale had brown-hair/brown-eyes (like Cristina). Giacomo is still alive - he lives in Florida and calls my mom every once and awhile. Those three kids are correct for him, and his wife's name was Mary, though she died several years ago. They traveled to Misilmeri quite often as a family, and probably have much more knowledge of the family that had stayed in Italy - like Giustina. My mom had no knowledge of her. Natale married my grandmother, Marcella Chieco (1925-2007), in 1945 and had two kids: Gerald (who you spoke with) in 1946 and a daughter, Chrys, in 1953. That's my mom. She married James Moore in 1984 and had me in 1985. In July of this year, I am getting married too. How funny that Gerald was the one you connected with. He hadn't been in touch with us for years, but then when he resurfaced he knew so much about the family. I should reach out to him to see what he knows about Marcella's side. I actually found that 2000 forum thread while trying to find Concetina's (Giacomo Aiena's wife's) name. Everyone in the family had a nickname, so my mom only knew her nickname - Gudgettina (which we didn't even know how to spell). Concetina it is! My mom also remembers Josephina and Carmela. As far as Girolamo and Cristina's marriage record - we've never been able to find it either. That's what started this whole search - we have their wedding photo and were wondering what year it was taken. I'm attaching it since that's the closest thing to a marriage record we'll probably get for them :) Thanks again for all of this!! It's amazing how far you've traced it all back and it's been wonderful for my mom see all these old names again. Your website is such a great resource too. Hopefully when my mom and I do get to travel to see Misilmeri we can contribute some more research. Best, Francesca | CIRRINCIONE, Girolamo (I268)
