CENSUS: Not listed with family in 1920 Census.

CONFLICT: Some confusion over when he died; his son says 1925; but his grand daughter always was told 1915. PA does not have a record of his death.

Possible answer to the confusion over his death: We have found possible evidence that John might of traveled back to Italy in 1915, thus leaving his son, John, to help sopport the family. Then due to World War I, he was not able to return to America until after his family moved to California. He may have decided to remain in Pennsylvania and continue working in the cool mines. Then later his family received notice that he had died in 1925.
