Joe and Leona LaMura
Two photos from Marlene LaMura. Her grandparents, Joe and Leona LaMura in what appears to be a heavily wooded lot that Joe is clearing.
Around 1922, Joe and Leona moved from Brooklyn into the house on Tennent Road in Morganville, NJ.
This was directly across the road from the farmhouse where Ciro (Eugene) Lanzaro was living with his family. Besides Carmela (Mel) and Joe Jr., Leona's two children from her previous marriage, Victor and Fred Wenzel, came with them.
We're not sure if this is the property on Tennent Road. If it is, it's probably near Brown Road. Joe was 34 years old in 1922; Leona 32.
The LaMura family house on Tennent Road was surrounded by farm and wooded land until Marlene's father and her uncles began building their individual homes.
