Postcards

Greetings from Asbury Park! It's August of 1913. Ciro and his mother Petronilla are taking a little vacation from the heat of Brooklyn and Ciro sends a postcard back to his wife who has just given birth to her sixth child (my father, in February) and had to stay behind to take care of the kids. Sister-in-law is Carmela Lanzaro LaMura, wife of Catello LaMura.

A 1916 Christmas postcard to Petronilla, who now lives in Morganville, from Leona Blanck Wenzel, a year before she married Joe LaMura.

Postcard5

A postcard to Petronilla in August of 1920 from her 19-year-old granddaughter Millie (Mildred) LaMura, a year before she married Charlie Mastellone. Curiously, she signs it "niece."
