Frank Lanzaro

Jim and Eve had two children, sons named Francesco and Frank. Not long after their marriage in Brooklyn on July 30, 1916, Eve gave birth to Francesco Lanzaro on December 17, 1916. The baby lasted one month before succumbing to Pneumonia at their home at 341 Union Street in the Red Hook section of Brooklyn. He was buried with my great-grandfather, Giuseppe Lanzara in an un-marked grave in Holy Cross Cemetery in Brooklyn.

Three and a half years later, Eve gave birth to their second, and final child, another son, named Frank Lanzaro, on September 13, 1920. Although I don't know for certain, I'm pretty sure this is a photo of baby Frank.
