Ernest Carlini (son of Carmine Carlini and Maria Carmina diTella, born 1916, died 1999)This is a very good book that gives a feeling for what it was like to live and work in Dawson. It forgoes facts and figures to concentrate on stories from the residents of Dawson.
Arthur diLorenzo (son of Domenico and Maria Colaianni, born 1912, Aguilar, Colorado, died 1997)
Sabina diLorenzo Cericola Faba (daughter of Domenico and Maria Colaianni, born 1906, Duluth, Minnesota, died 2003, Albuquerque, NM)

RC Church,
Dawson, NM. From "Coal Town - The Life and Times of Dawson, New Mexico", ©Toby Smith. |
| St. John the Baptist -- a
sturdy,
stone building
with simple crosses atop its three facades, and an imposing and steep
flight of steps out front and concrete-hard pews within -- was one of
the few buildings in Dawson not built by Phelps Dodge. Mass at St. John
the Baptist was held daily, at 6:00 A.M., though most worshipers
didn't go to church until the 8:30 service on Sunday mornings. At
10:30 A.M. on Sundays another service was held there, known as the
Mexican Mass. Both the sermon and the music at the second second
service were in Spanish. |

Ellis Island Note on Carmine Frazzini and Angelo Frazzini in the previous cemetery listing : There is an Ellis Island entry for Angelo Frassini, arrived 20 Nov 1907 age 5. With mother Maria Antonia Carlini 28 yrs. Lived with mother-in-law, Giuseppa Morelli in SPA. Going to her husband / his father Carmine Frazzini 2136 15th St Denver CO (that's Prospero Frazzini's address). So Carmine is the father of Angelo. Carmine's mother is Giuseppa Morelli. From a rootsweb.com database, Carmine was born 20 Jul 1881 - no SPA records are available for that year. But I think I found his parents and siblings, look below on this page.The 263 men killed in the 1913 Stag Cañon Mine #2 explosion is only exceeded by the 362 men killed in Monongah, WV explosion of 6 Dec 1907.

| [talking
about Father
Joseph Anthime
Couturier, paster of St. John the Baptist Church] Joseph "Jiggy" Palumbo never served as an alter boy. but he attended St. John the Baptist from almost the day he was born in 1913. When Palumbo died in 1936, at age twenty-three, cut down one Sunday afternoon in July by a lightning bolt on a baseball diamond in Raton, it would cause a deep religious rift in Dawson. Palumbo was an enormously friendly young man who came from a large and well-liked family. He had wanted to be a coach after high school, but, with no jobs available, he went into the mines and soon became a union organizer. An athlete, Palumbo had wavy-haired good looks and a laugh that never seemed to cease. Indeed, he was laughing as he ran across the infield to his spot at second base on the afternoon lightning shredded his ball cap. Palumbo's death shocked the town, not just because he died so young, but because his died doing what Dawsonites believed to be sacrosanct: playing sports. And yet the real shock occurred afterward. Because Jiggy Palumbo had married Leola Meikle, a Protestant, and had gone off to Taos to tie the knot in front of a justice of the peace, and because Palumbo had not received the last sacraments when he died, Couturier refused to hold the young man's Mass. Nor did the priest permit Palumbo to be buried in the Catholic section of the Dawson cemetery, along side his mother, who only four months before at the age of forty-eight had died of pneumonia. Palumbo had been extremely close to his mother; on the morning that he died, he had told his family to be sure to put flowers on her grave. Eventually, a funeral was held for Palumbo at the Community Church, and the service drew one of the biggest crowds that Dawson had ever seen. Everyone came, it seemed, except Father Joseph. ... The senior Palumbo had been so grief-stricken by his son's death and the subsequent furor it caused, happening to soon after his wife's passing, that he had refused to let the family hold a wake. On top of that, Domenico Palumbo had stayed away from church for a good long time and had only returned when a new priest took over. |

The name of SPA'S men is DI LUDOVICO ANTONIO or as write by VIVIEN on buried list of Dawson cemetery, LODOVICHO ANTONIO. This person made two trips in 1901 and 1909 and his correct name is Domenico Antonio Di Ludovico. Giuliano |
| After
I sent Giuliano the newspaper clipping, he said: Molte grazie Marco Antonio Di Ludovico was grandfather of actually SPA's mayor Antonio Di Ludovico, yes the same name. I found at first n° two trips from SPA, and the mayor told me that his grandfather died around 1927 near Albuquerque for a steel bar in a mine. At this point I verified cimiteries in bernadillo and colfax county. Ciao |
| Giuliano, Here is another manifest for a man named Antonio DiLudovico. Is this the same man? He was a US Citizen in 1921 (Naturalized at Las Animas, CO on 28 Sep 1909 No. 1733). He was 45 years old. ciao. Mark |
| Marco Probably because Antonio Di Ludovico was born in 1876, but the family doesn't know about naturalization. His first trip on 1901 second 1909; and 1920 after war. Giuliano |
| To:
<markd@silogic.com> Subject: R: Re: R: Re: dawson news Date: Sun, 9 Dec 2007 19:18:18 +0100 (CET) Caro Marco The SPA's mayor Antonio Di Ludovico confirms that his granfather was born in 1876, father Valentino and mother Maria Musilli and wife Maria Carlini.On 1927 the info of death of Tony Lodovivo arrived in SPA with birth data wrong.

| Working alongside your father
was
sometimes an
eye opening experience. Arthur "Stach" DiLorenzo quit school his senior
year to join his father, Dominic, in Mine Number Six. "At first I
couldn't stand him. He wouldn't let you stop. These were the hand drill
days, before electric drills, and it was hard. I finally could load
more than him, and that's when we got along." |

| Food and drink play
prominent roles
in almost
every Dawson childhood memory. Often there was homemade wine on those
tables as well. Alice DiLorenzo used to watch her father, Domenic, brew
what everyone called "Dago red" in the family cellar, and then keep
small glasses filled with it at mealtime. |

Journal DILORENZO -- Tony DiLorenzo, 78, a resident of Albuquerque since 1957, died on Wednesday, November 29, 2000 after a short illness. He is survived by his wife of 53 years, Margaret Mary DiLorenzo; son, Jeffrey A. DiLorenzo and wife, Conda L. of Rio Rancho; granddaughters, TyAnna L. Martin of Albuquerque and Miya E. Martin of Rio Rancho; grandsons, PFC Charles B. DiLorenzo of Ft. Hood, TX, Michael T. Martin of Rio Rancho and Sean E. Martin also of Rio Rancho; sisters, Sabina Faba of Albuquerque, Pearl Carlini and husband, Sam of Raton, NM, Lucille Fisher of Dearborn, MI and Dorothy Tome and husband, Frank of Pasadena, CA and numerous nieces and nephews. Tony graduated from Dawson High School in 1941 and enlisted in the US Army in 1942 where he served in the Pacific Theater including beachheads in the Philippines, New Guinea, Luzon and Aleutian Islands. He was awarded the Purple Heart and Bronze Star among numerous other decorations. After leaving the Army as Tech Sergeant in 1945 he returned to Dawson, NM where he worked for Phelps Dodge Corp. until 1949. He and Margaret then moved to Ft. Worth, TX where he began his career with the U.S. Postal Service. Tony was transferred to Albuquerque where he retired in 1980 after 31 years of service. He was an avid golfer and horse racing fan. Tony was a beloved husband, father, grandfather, and brother who will be deeply missed by his family and friends. We look forward to the day when we will all be reunited with him in the presence of the LORD. Services will be held on Monday, December 4, 2000, 12:30p.m. at French Mortuary, Wyoming Chapel, 7121 Wyoming Blvd. NE, with Father Clarence Galli, officiating. |
| There are sad
stories, however, and
surely one
of the most heartbreaking occurred when Margaret Mary Beall married
Tony
DiLorenzo in 1947 and Margaret Mary's mother, so incensed, refused to
speak to her daughter, an only child, for almost forty years. |

<mstratton4413charter.net> Subject: San Pietro Avellano Date: Fri, 4 Jul 2008 14:07:40 -0700 I am writing this for my wife because she is "allergic" to the computer! My wife's name is Laura Palumbo Stratton. She was born in Dawson in 1916 to Domenico and Maria Palumbo. Her parents both came from San Pietro Avellana and were married there in New Mexico. There were eight children in the family, three boys and five girls. There are now only three of the girls left , my wife, Laura , and two of her sisters, Emily and Sara. We have been to San Pietro Avellana several times; our first time was in 1969 when Laura was able to locate many of her relatives. Although Laura does not speak Italian, she is able to understand it fairly well. We have Italian friends in Rome who usually accompanied us to San Pietro and served as interpreters. Our daughter in Boise, ID , found your web site when she was researching her relatives and passed the reference site number to me. Monty Stratton |
| Dear
Monty and Laura, Thanks so much for your email. I've read a lot about the Palumbo family from Dawson. In the book by Toby Smith, "Coal Town - The Life and Times of Dawson, New Mexico", I saw that Toby interviewed you, Laura, when he wrote the book. Toby had wonderful stories about Dawson which I enjoyed very much. I have visited the cemetery in Dawson where I saw the graves of Laura's parents and brother, Joseph. And I've visited the cemetery in Raton where many more people from San Pietro Avellana are buried. My great granduncle Teridano diTella lived in Dawson. I believe that around 1910, your father, Domenico, and my great granduncle Teridano shared a house in Dawson with several other men. Most likely, uncle Teridano was a friend of both Domenico and Maria. Uncle Teridano never brought his family to the US. He died in 1944 and is buried in Raton. You may even remember him from Dawson. He was a carpenter and made furniture. Uncle Teridano's grandson, Giuliano Colajanni, is coming to the US from Italy this summer to attend the Dawson reunion. Giuliano never met his grandfather. I will be going to Dawson for the reunion. Can you send this email also to your daughter, I would like to email her. I have been in touch with Shari Burns who is the granddaugher of Laura's brother, Art. I've sent Shari Burns a copy of this email. I hope we can keep in touch. ciao. Mark DiVecchio |

sisters (Emily, Laura, and Sara) in Dawson NM. Their mother,
Maria Capone Palumbo, was my grandmother's (Teresa Capone Cinea) sister.".

Tue, 27 Mar 2007 16:43:55 -0700 From: Ellen <ellzybell sbcglobal.net>Subject: Brandolino Geneology Hello Mark, My Aunt Sharon forwarded your e-mail to me. I was very excited to see your web-site and learn about Dawson, NM. Giuseppe Brandolino and Carmela Sanelli are my great-grandparents. I would love to get the photos of their gravesites. I have a few photos you may be interested in. One is a family photo taken of them taken around 1913 with their three oldest children. Another is of them in the 1940's and the last is my grandfather, John's, graduating class of 1940 from DHS. Let me know if you would like copies of any of these photos. I'm afraid I don't have any information about Silvino Brandolino, but I have e-mailed another aunt who is working on that line and will pass on any findings. Thanks, Ellen |
| Ellen, Great to hear from you. In the next two emails, I will send the photos from Mt. Calvary Cemetery in Raton - tombstones of Giuseppe Brandolino, his wife Carmela Sanelli and daughter Mary. Your great-grandparents were very popular in the Italian community in Dawson. I've found them listed many, many times as god-parents at baptisms of children. I found these records in the microfilmed records from St. John the Baptist Church in Dawson. The closest association seems to be with family of Domenico Palumbo and Maria Capone. That family was from San Pietro Avellana (my mother's hometown). Your great-grandparents were god-parents to: Laura Palumbo baptised 3 Sep 1916 Sara Palumbo baptised 15 Sep 1918 Josefina Palumbo baptised 12 Sep 1920 Emelia Palumbo baptised 18 Jun 1922 Michele Palumbo baptised 12 Apr 1925 Luisa Palumbo baptised 21 Apr 1929 They were also god-parents to: Imelda Graciella del Tonto baptised 17 Jun 1923 daughter of Antonio del Tonto and Eugenia Massarotti (I believe del Tonto is a name from Caramanico or the nearby town of Sant'Eufemia a Maiella - my father's hometown.) I found the death records of your great-grandparents in the records from St. Patrick's Church in Raton: 1 Dec 1944 Giuseppe Brandolino, 66 years buried 4 Dec 1944 Mt Calvary Cemetery, Raton. born Italy, lived Dawson. "Pulmonary Fibrosis Myochadetis" "Died early this morning in Miner's Hospital" 19 Jul 1954 Carmela Brandolino, 68 years Lived in Ventura, CA, born Italy buried in Mt Calvary Cemetery "Heart Attack" This is by no means a complete list. When I was searching the microfilmed records, I was, of course, looking for names related to my family. There may be many more records concerning Giuseppe and Carmela that I didn't write down. I would really like to see the photos that you describe. May I ask if I can use them on the Dawson web page? ciao. Mark |

received
this file from
Marjorie DiLorenzo,
wife of Fred DiLorenzo (son of Art and Lucille DiLorenzo and brother to
David Arthur DiLorenzo). Fred was born in Dawson in 1940. Pearl was the
daughter of Domenico
diLorenzo and Maria Antonia Colaianni. CONVERSATION WITH PEARL DILORENZO CARLINI July, 2001 Arrived in New York, not sure if they worked in the mine - went to Duluth Minnesota to work in the mine. Had to be on knees with short pik and decided to leave. Story of women not getting off the train - when Aunt Laura and grama (Maria) came with Joe and Domenic to America they were on their way to Minnesota on the train. When the train stopped, the men got off but the women didn’t. The train left the station and the men realized the women hadn’t followed them. The men spoke some English, but the women knew no English. The men contacted the station master and he wired ahead to let the people at the next stop know so they could get the women off the train and return them to the waiting husbands. Imagine how scared they must have been. Born in Duluth to Dominic and Maria Sabina Betty Born in Duluth to Joe and Laura (Crow) Flora Silver Born in Aguilar, Colorado Arthur November 1911 Born in Ludlow Pearl January 1913 Born in Dawson Emma 1915 Dorothy Lucille Toby Alice Jenny? 6/8/19 Pearl said that she was one day old when they hurried to leave Ludlow. It was January and snowing and her dad came home and said they had to get out of there. The people were against the union and felt they were in danger. They went to Aunt Christina’s in Denver and that day 14 women and children were killed in Ludlow. (Mark's note: for some photos of a new monument to the slain, look at this web site: http://www.rebelgraphics.org/ludlow.html .) They also lived in Sugarete, Yankee, Koehler and Dawson Grama died in 1944 and Jenny in 1948 Pearl was 7 when Emma died at age 5 Pearl tells the story of seeing Emma about a week after she died at the window. She also saw her mother with an apron on after she died. Pearl was grieving for her mother uncontrollably, and one night she saw her mother and her mother said, “you won’t let me rest”. Pearl said Papa’s sisters were Julia who lived in Swastika, Christina and Angelina who lived in Denver. Sam’s dad (Carmini Carlini) was 12 years old when he came to the USA and worked with mules. Sam left home at 14 and went to Texas. When he lived in Aguilar he lived in a boxcar and bought groceries in Trinidad. Sam worked in the store from the time he was 14-18 and then in the old fields of Texas. He quit school in the 5th grade. Pearl and Sam owned a grocery store in Jal and then in Raton, New Mexico. Jenny and Toby worked for Pearl and Sam in the store in Jal Mr Felan was the Superintendent at the Dawson school. Special to Pearl. Grampa Franich came to see the DiLorenzo’s. Wanted to meet the family of the man his daughter was going to marry. Mary diLorenzo Arcangeli’s parents are Joseph and Laura de la Croce (Crow) DiLorenzo Husband - Evern Sons - Evern, Jr and David (1 daughter) Daughter - Elaine (2 children) Pat (Pete) DiLorenzo Louie (last to die) DiLorenzo Dominic DiLorenzo Silver DiLorenzo Millie DiLorenzo Carmen (Dominic’s brother) Bought a saloon and store (sold dresses, clothes) in Duluth and the store caught fire. His wife kept all the money in the lining of her coat. They were on their way back to Italy when the fire happened. She still lives in Denver. They had a son, Carmen a daughter and another son. Grama learned to read and write. Grampa taught her. All the Crow’s were firemen or policemen. Dominic Crow quit because other policemen were stealing.

| Hello, I was looking for the date she came to New Mexico to complete some papers to finish closing up my mother's estate and stumbled on your site with the grave markers. My uncle was Everni Arcangeli, married to Mary Di Lorenzo, a favorite aunt of mine who still lives in Raton. He died of cancer, the primary site being breast, as did 4 of his sisters. I was born in Dawson and lived there until they closed the mine in 1950. My father, Joseph Catallo was born there and my mother, Mary Arcangeli the oldest of the Arcangeli family, immigrated there when she was 5. I have put her name on the marker Iaccoca has on Ellis Island and was able to get a copy of the manifest and photo of the ship she and my grandmother came on. I recognize many of the names you have on your site from the Carlini family, like Mary and the son who died in the war, Jay Cericola I remember from school. I didn't realize he died so young. My grandparents on both sides are buried in the Dawson cemetery, as are my cousins from the Cincornelli and Arcangeli families. Many of the relatives live in Raton. I am sure you are aware there is a book on Dawson that had anecdotes from many of the residents and photos of the school, churches,etc. I really enjoyed your photos, all of them, having been in Santa Fe, Taos and just about anywhere else. My family lives in Albuquerque, a sister, brother in law, niece and great niece. My mother just died last year at 94 and my father died, as a result of medical negligence at 88, 5 years before her. Any questions I can answer, I would be pleased to do so. I am 69 so I don't have too many senior moments. Thanks again for sharing the photos.

| Hello Mark, I don't know much about my family's background. I never thought to ask until it was too late. This is what I know about my mother who is the sister of Everni Arcangeli whose tombstone you had a photo of because he was married to Mary Di Lorenzo who is connected to your family tree. She is still living and went to Italy with her son, David, to visit the Arcangeli's who are still in Italy. When we went through my mother's effects after she died, I found a sheet of paper with the following information: My grandparents were Lucia Ceccotti and Guiseppe Arcangeli married September 27th 1908 Regista No2 P. 27 of the Parish of Colliponi. St. Gregory's is the parish and it is in Genga District of Ancona. Maternal grandmother's name was Susanna Petroni and maternal grandfather's name was Sebastiano Ceccotti. Paternal Grandmother's name was Marie Domencia Sebbatini and paternal grandfather was Antonio Arcangeli. The children in the Ceccotti family were Liva, Barbara, Mauela, Fiore, Sebastiano and Forido or Forida. Everni Arcangeli's parents Gusippe Arcangeli was born April 1885 and died April 30, 1929 at the age of 44. Lucia, his mother, was born on December 10, 1882 and died April 1935 at the age of 53. I was born August 25th, 1935 and my grandmother was living with my parents when she died so you can see how I came about my name. When I started school they "Americanized" my name and added my father's mother's name Ann, hence Lucy Ann. This is probably more information than you could ever want but I am not certain of the connection to Everni Arcangeli nor the detail of your family tree tracing but since it was available, I shared it. Of my father's family Catallo, I don't know much. His mother died young of a heart condition and my short stature and facial features are supposed to be similar according to what an old lady once told me. There is so much one could say about Dawson. It was a great place to grow up. The culture did have distinct ethnic groups but the barriers were not prominent probably because of the dangerous work. I learned to like slavic food like stuffed cabbage, mexican food, don't remember too many Polish families but there might have been some and we even had a couple of black families. I think you can get a flavor of the life from the book, even though some of it was not exactly accurate. My mother was annoyed my uncle Tony said they sold liquor during the prohibition. Many people they know did but not our family, they kept and drank all the wine and beer they made. The grapes used to come in a box car on the railroad and families would go down and get their wooden boxes of red and white grapes and make great "Dago" wine, some of which was very potent. I don't remember your relative but I remember them talking about them when he was buried. Everyone went to funerals, it was a community event, probably because of the United Mine Workers union as there really was a solidarity.. All the men had sprigs of some evergreen in their lapels and threw them in the grave as they passed by much as they do now with roses. I enjoyed viewing your wedding photos. It looked like everyone had a great time. John is my second husband. My first husband Loyd, died in 1987. John and I were married in Gibralter since we failed to defeat the French bureaucracy since we originally went to France to be married in a castle in Durgugone. Thanks again for sharing. Lucia |

Louise Sinesio <fiascofarmearthlink.net> Subject: Dawson Dear Mark I just came across your website on Dawson while I was looking up information about the reunion for 2006. My grandfather, Peter Sinesio, lived there with his family. They were from Pacentro, Italy in Abruzzi. Near Sulmona. My uncle, Salvatore or Sam, as they called him, went to high school in Dawson and is in the high school year book you may have seen from 1923. He married Louise Springer, the local postmaster's daughter. I have been to one of the reunions and am making plans to attend again. I was thrilled with your photos and references. Thank you so much for doing that work. It will help and inspire my research tremendously. Yours, Louise A. Sinesio |

I was wondering if you have come across any information on Lena Carlini ( Her mother was named Carmen di Tella and her father was Carmen Carlini).she was my great-grandmother and came to the United States in about 1909 ( she was born 1906). She was just a baby, but I just wondered if there were any birth certificates or information on her parents or her. Thanks so much! Lyndsie Morgan |
| From: Mark DiVecchio Sent: Wednesday, March 22, 2006 9:10 PM To: Lyndsie Morgan Subject: Re: Question about a Carlini Hi Lyndsie, I know a lot of genealogy facts about your family. Carmine Sabatino Carlini and Maria Carmina diTella lived much of their lives in Dawson, NM. If you look on my Dawson Graphical Family Tree Part 2, you will find their family. Web page: http://www.silogic.com/genealogy/images/Dawson%20NM%20Tree%20Pictorial%20Part%202.jpg There is a photo of their gravesite in Raton, NM on this page: http://www.silogic.com/genealogy/Mt%20Calvary%20Cemetery,%20Raton,%20NM.html Your great-grandmother must be Adelina or Erlina - I found her and her mother coming to the US via Ellis Island in 1907. I've always been a little confused because I found two spellings of the name - for a while, I thought it might be two people, but now I'm pretty sure it is only one person. I did a lot of research on people in Dawson who immigrated from San Pietro Avellana. My great grand uncle Teridano diTella (who might be related to Maria Carmina) went to Dawson about 1900 and lived there until his death in 1944. He is buried in Raton, NM, not far from Dawson. He never brought his wife and family to the US. I met his daughter and grand-children the last time I went to SPA. Very little is known about my great grand uncle and his time in Dawson. So I am still searching for information about him which is what made me do all the research on Dawson. Has anyone in your family done much research? I'd be interested to learn more about what you know about Carmine and Carmina. Ciao. Mark |
| Mark, I am so surprised to see how much information you have on my family. No one else in my family has this type of information and it boogles my mind. I called my grandmother (Adelina's daughter...it is Adelina not Erlina) and she was absolutely thrilled. Adelina married Pasquale Marchiando (I saw that you had Pasquale right, but his last name was Marchiando) and they had my grandmother named Josephine Carlena Marchiando and Albert Marchiando. My grandma was born in Dawson, NM and they later settled in Raton, NM where I guess the Marchiando's and Carlini's are very prevalent. I even have a picture of my great-grandmother holding me as a baby wearing my mother's graduation gown because she never really went to school. I also wanted to let you know that Mildred Carlini is still alive, despite having a headstone in Raton. We actually went to Raton for a family reunion not too many years ago, but it was mainly the Marchiando clan, although I have met Aunt Mildred, Aunt Erma, and Uncle Ernesto (He was called "Babe" and passed away a few years ago). My grandma also said she remembers Amico's children coming to their house to play all the time, especially Enola and Dorothy. Also, I was wondering when the next Dawson reunion is because my grandma and myself would love to go and also where you live now. My great-grandma has been a huge part of my life through stories from my grandma and all of our family traditions really stem from her so I am so excited to learn more about her. I wish I would have known this information while I was in Italy (I was there for 4 months in Perugia) so I could have made travel plans to SPA. I really appreciate all your research because this is the most we have ever found out about our family. Thanks! Lyndsie |
| From: Mark DiVecchio Sent: Wednesday, March 29, 2006 5:53 PM To: Lyndsie Morgan Subject: RE: Question about a Carlini Lyndsie, You have sent some good information in your emails. Maybe some other Carlini descendents might like to read it. May I use your emails on my Dawson web page? Do you or anyone in your family know the parent's names of Carmina diTella? Or anything else about her? Ciao. Mark |
| Mark, You can definitely use my e-mails on your web-page. I was with my grandmother Josephine last week and talked to her a little bit about her family, but she really doesn't know much since her mother was so young when she came to the U.S. I guess my great-grandma Lena wasn't even sure which day was her birthday. I am actually the only person that has found this much info on our family, so nobody knows much especially about Carmina diTella. I know that we have diTella relatives in Denver, so I will ask my grandmother if she could talk to any of them and see if they had more info on her parents. My grandma is in Arizona until the summer, but when she gets back I plan on trying to find some pictures that I can scan to you. Thanks! Lyndsie Morgan |

Mon, 29 May 2006 17:01:23 -0600 From: Jennifer Ercul <erculje comcast.net>Subject: Dawson, NM To: markd@silogic.com Great website for information! My Great Grandfather worked in the coal mine in Dawson. I am having a hard time finding out information about that side of my family. My Grandmother died before I was born so I didn't get to hear anything about them. Not sure if you would be interested or not but his name was Luigi (Louie) Massaroni 1873(?) to 10/14/1944. His wife's name was Emma ca 1877 to 1926 (trying to find date of death). They came from Italy like everyone else it sounds like in Dawson and worked in the mine. Being it was so long ago I doubt there are any records specifically for individuals. In fact, I believe that they and a couple of children are buried in Fairmont Cemetery. May be in Raton or Dawson but I am not sure how to find out or how to contact that cemetery. I have Luigi and a very young daughter's Catherine's death certificates but I cannot find an exact date of death for Emma to obtain her Death Cert. What caught my eye was the name Carlini. I have come across what may be a son of Luigi (Louie) and Emma. His name was Antonio. He married Enola Carlini. I have been given their daughter's name and address and I have written her twice but she never has responded. I do not want to be a pest but I thought you might have some suggestions as far as where to get more information from cemetery records/contacts or mine information I would be very appreciative for anything advice you can provide. Thanks again and God Bless, Jennifer Helen (Garcia) Ercul |
| Jennifer, Thanks for your email. Its always a great treat to hear from someone descendent from people who lived in Dawson. When it comes to Italian genealogy, the word "pest" is not in my vocabulary. I think I can help just a little. I searched through the microfilmed records of St. John the Baptist Church, Dawson, NM (LDS Film 16763). These microfilms were made by the Mormon church and I have a copy in my local Family History Center. When I went through the films, I noted all the people whose family names from my mother's hometown of San Pietro Avellana. Those names included Carlini, diLorenzo, diTella and a few more that you probably saw on my web site. I don't know much about Enola but since she was a Carlini, I took a few notes of records with her name. It is possible that I missed other records. Here is what I noted (my spelling corrections in parens): ------------------------ Baptisms: Anna May Lorenzo
(diLorenzo) 20 Sep 1936
born: 5 May 1926 f: Joseph Lorenzo (Giuseppe diLorenzo) m: Laura Crowe (Loretta della Croce) godparents: Anthony Massaroni and Enola Carlini David Arthur diLorenzo 30 Aug 1936 born: 28 Jun 1936 f: Arthur diLorenzo m: Lucile A. Franich godparents: Luis Trani and Teresa Massaroni Joseph Lorenzo (diLorenzo) 22 Sep 1936 born 31 Jan 1929 f: Joseph Lorenzo (Giuseppe diLorenzo) m: Laura D. Crowe (Loretta della Croce) godparents: Luis Trani and Teresa Massaroni Gladys-Mae Massaroni 11 Sep 1938 born: 17 Dec 1937 f: Anthony Massaroni m: Enola Carlini godparents: Ernest Colaizzi and Emma Colaizzi ------------------------ Marriages: 12 Aug 1933
-----------------------Anthony Massaroni, born in Dawson f: Luigi Massaroni m: Emma Fraterelli Enola Carlini, born in Dawson f: Amico Carlini m: Maria Ricci witnesses: Joseph Colazzi and Emma Colazzi 22 Jan 1933 Luigi Trani f: Rafael Trani m: Pasqualina Antonelli Teresina Massaroni f: Luigi Massaroni m: Emma Fraterelli witnesses: Pietro Carlini and Ermenia Carlini 21 Jul 1929 Emiddio diTella f: Cristinziano diTella m: Filomena Colovequio (Colavecchio) Helen Massaroni f: Luigi Massaroni m: Emma Fraterelli witnesses: Amico Carlini and Mary Ricci I didn't note any deaths with your family name. So there is Emma's family name - Fraterelli - if you didn't have that before. Looks like there were at least two daughters - Teresa and Helen - and one son - Anthony. I realized that Helen and Emiddio diTella already appeared on my Dawson Graphical Tree Part 2 - but I had her family name spelled wrong. You probably saw from that tree where Enola fits into the family tree of Amico Carlini and Maria Ricci. When I was in Dawson and Raton a couple of years ago, I took a bunch of photos in the cemeteries but after looking through them, I did not find one of Enola. On my Dawson web page, there is a list of everyone buried in the Dawson cemetery but no Fraterelli's or Massaroni's. I don't know of a listing of people buried at the Mt. Calvery Cemetery in Raton. There are films from St. Patrick (films 16882/16883) Catholic Church in Raton. I had looked through those films but I did not note any Massaroni (but I wasn't looking for that name). There were many records of the family of Amico Carlini and Maria Ricci. I checked the Ellis Island data base for Emma Fratarelli. I found three records for her: Emma Frattgrelli Jun 11, 1905, 29 years old, going to husband in Dawson *** This entry is crossed out *** Emma Frattarelli Jun 28, 1905, 29 years old, going to husband Luigi Massario, Dawson, NM *** This entry is crossed out *** Emma Fratarella Jul 03, 1905, 29 years old, going to husband Luigio Massari, in New Mexico. Two of the entries are crossed out so she finally sailed on 3 Jul 1905. At age 29y in 1905, she was born about 1876. The spellings of the last name are all different. --- Fratarelli gets 7 hits in the index --- Fratarella gets 1 hits in the index --- Fraterelli gets 1 hit in the index --- Fraterella gets 0 hits in the index So based on this, I'm guessing that the correct spelling is the first - Fratarelli. If you want to find out about the Fairmont Cemetery in Raton, contact the library there as a first try. Here are a few documents that I found on ancestry.com: -- 1910 census sheet for Luigi and Emma and 1 child - Dawson, NM. -- 1920 census sheet for Luigi, Emma, and 6 children in Dawson. -- 1930 census sheet for Luigi and 4 children in Dawson. They lived two doors away from Domenico and Maria diLorenzo -- Luigi's WWI Draft Registration. Shows his date of birth as 10 Oct 1873. To try to get a death certificate for your great grandmother, go to this web site: http://dohewbs2.health.state.nm.us/VitalRec/Death%20Certificates.htm Fill out the form as best as you can with the estimated year of death, send it in and see what happens. Let me know if you want copies of any of these censussheets. I'll email them to you. So there are a few pieces of info. I'll be happy to share whatever I have. ciao. Mark |

From
Jennifer Helen Ercul, Jun 2005: "Here is the wedding photo of my grandmother Helen Massaroni (Massarone)and her first husband Emiddio (Emmiddio) DiTella/DiTello. The marriage license lists his birth information as born in Naples, Italy on 16 March 1891. They were married 21 July 1929 in Colfax County. She was 20 yrs old and he is listed as 37 yrs old. I am pretty sure they lived in Portland, CO because of the Portland cement plant." Mark's note: I've traced the family tree for Emiddio diTella and his line and mine do not intersect back to about 1750. Emidio's father was Cristinziano (married Filomena Colavecchio), his grandfather was Emiddio (married Daria Errica Colaianni) and his great grandfather was Giuseppe (who married Rosa Frazzino). Look at my Dawson Graphical Tree Part 2 for details. |
| 1930
Census I found Emiddio, Helen and 5 children in the 1930 census (children James, Florence, Viola, Stella and Antonio). The name was spelled "Ditello". They were in Portland, CO. Emiddio was 37y and Helen was 21y. Emiddio was first married at 20y which must have been his first wife (before Helen). I don't know his first wife's name. |

| From: "Angelo Bergamo"
<georgenellencomcast.net> Date: Thu, 1 May 2008 13:15:04 -0600 I received your e-mail, glad to hear from you. My name is Angelo Bergamo. I just read through your web site and it was very interesting to me. I recall the names of Calorosa, Brozovich, Arcangeli, Palumbo, Carlini, Di Lorenzo, Cericola, Gatti and Beale as just a few of the names I read. I remember Babe Carlini don't know if this was your relation, and a man called Stach Palumbo. There was a family named DiLorenzo (Pat, Louie, Dominic, Silver and Millie) who lived next door to my aunt Helen Cherubini in number 7 camp. I went to school with Louie I think. We have seen Margie Brozovich who is married to Pat Di Lorenzo. She is in real estate and sold my mother in laws house for us. My uncle Carlo Jaterka used to go fishing a lot with one of the Cericola boys, Freddie I think (he also dated my cousin Angie Cherubini). My uncle Carlo's picture is on the cover of the Coal Town, Last Car Dumped. He is in the second row, second from the right. The boy who got hit by lightning playing ball, I heard about from my friend (deceased) John Eskra, who played in the same game. It was interesting reading the Dawson news on your web site. Names such as Remigio Yob who lived just up the street, Ricardo Bergamo a distant cousin of my father, an Joe Gherardi who is the father of my aunt who lives in Eagle Nest, NM. I have a few of my pictures on Chuck Speed's web site. One of my father working in the mine. We lived directly across from the Catholic church. There is a picture of me in my First Communion garb that Father Joseph made us wear. The picture you were asking me about of the miner's competition is a picture I have that is small. I do not have a high resolution picture. Like you, I recognize several people in the photo. My father Arcangelo Bergamo is in the back row, I believe 4th from the right., in the white shirt. This picture is also on Chuck's web site. I sent Chuck most of the pictures he has on the web. Happy to hear from you. Maybe we will connect at the Dawson picnic, which I plan to attend this year. Please stay in contact. Sincerely, Angelo |

Angelo, Sorry that this emal is so delayed. My wife and I were in Salt Lake City visiting her daughter. I met two of the daughters of Remigio Yob at the last Dawson reunion. I really enjoy seeing these old photos. I hope I can meet you at the reunion this year. I will be there along with a cousin who is travelling from Italy. What town in Italy was your family from? ciao. Mark |

Daryl, My grandfather was John Alvin Ricci, born and raised in Lorain, Ohio. His father was Amico Floro Ricci, s/o Gaetano Ricci. John's sister, my aunt Natalie Blaine (Ricci) told me we have relatives in New Mexico. I'm trying to find a map online that shows San Pietro Avellana but can't find one. I'd also like to try and find our relatives in Italy. Hope to hear from you! Eric Stamper |

Mark, Gaetano Ricci is my g-g-grandfather. I saw the connection in the Dorcy GEDCOM and it is the same family. Amico is my g-grandfather. I was raised in Lorain, Ohio. His wife was Lucy Gallio, originally from Freedom, Pennsylvania. I knew we had Ricci relatives in New Mexico, my aunt keeps in touch with them still, I think. I really like your Dawson site. Any questions or comments please email me. I am always looking for info and history on the Ricci's and related families.Hope to hear from you. Thanks. Eric P.S. I think my mother even has a picture of Gaetano and Rosanna. I will find out. |

Nine who I call to mind are Maria Lemoncelli later married a Fiori, Rose who married Alipio Panichi, Peirina who married Joseph Scipioni, Angelo Maracchini, Vera who married Alex Knudsen, Joseph Maracchini, and Louise who married Andrew Selvo. Louise is still alive and living in Hibbing, Mn. Rose was my mother born in 1904 and died in 2002. I recall her telling me of a man that lived with her and her aunt Rose Viora in Hibbing, mn. they called him uncle Tom and I think his last name was Cellini. She said that one day he just left here and no one every heard from him again. He traveled here from Dawson. Rose and her family would travel to Dawson in the winter to work in the coal mines and then would come to Hibbing to work in the Iron mines in the summer. The Maracchini has a boarding house in Dawson. I thought you would like to know about the Thomas Cellini and I was also wondering if you know of him. I would like to go to the Dawson reunion this year. Thank you, Roseann Rutar |

<ginaconfigmd.com> Subject: Dawson NM Web Page Date: Tue, 28 Jun 2011 22:30:27 -0400 Dear Mark, While doing some research on my great grandfather's death, I came across your wonderful website. You have him listed as Killo Gatti. His name should be Gotti & we are certain that Killo was a nickname, but we have no idea what his given name was. My grandmother never remembered her father, her parents divorced when she was young. While going through some papers that she kept, we saw a reference to the mine explosion that killed him in Dawson, NM. My mother & I are certain that he is the same person listed on your site. The only other thing we know about him is that after his death, his 2 children received an insurance payment & their mother purchased a house for them in Kansas where they were living. I don't believe he was buried in the cemetery at Dawson as my grandmother always said that they never recovered his body from the mine. He was from Bergamo, Italy and is probably not related to the Gattis in your family tree. I'm fairly new to genealogical research & haven't looked for any records of him in Italy yet. Thanks for posting this so I know I'm on the right track. Trying to find anything about this man or his family is like trying to find a needle in a haystack. Sincerely, Gina Wiley Norstedt PS I smiled when I saw that you are living in Fallbrook, CA. This same grandmother had a small avocado farm in Fallbrook all my life. I have very fond memories of the area & all the avocados I could eat. It is a small world! J |

Sat, 27 Jun 2009 11:45:26 -0500 From: Virginia Crilley <varcsix hot.rr.com>Subject: Dawson NM Thanks so much for your wonderful Dawson NM pages. The family of my husband's stepmother lived there and were miners. One son was killed by the militia in 1927 and another son was injured in an accident. Injured (Nov 11, 1920) in Dawson Coal Mine - broken back. Never able to move around or walk again. Buried in Dawson. Dec 14, 1926 Dawson. I'm trying to locate information about the militia and the mine strike in 1927 --- I don't know if there were tombstones for either of them. One of my problems is that they were Hungarians, and went by several names: Istenes, Eastenes, Estenes and even some changed their name to Smith / Schmidt. Thanks to your work, I can have a visual feeling of what the area looks like today. You've inspired me to try to find out more details in the public records. Virginia Crilley |
