Sunday's Obituary

The Red Bank NJ Public Library is a wonderful source of  newspapers for free.  This is where I found my Great Grandfather Raffaelle Gelso's Obit at 56 years old.  Born in 1868 in Italy and died in 1924 leaving behind 9 children and my GGrandmother Carmella Chiafullo Gelso.  Little is known about Raffelle.  Most non Italians could not pronounce Raffaelle so they called him RUFUS.
