| Name |
Giovanni Mascolo |
| Born |
21 Nov 1847 |
Agerola, Campania, Naples, Italy  |
- Got copies of Giovanni Mascolo's civil record of Birth from Agerola, Italy for 21 Nov 1847 born to Salvadore & Angela Rosa Naclerio; Riccardo Rosa translated them for me:
1847 21st Nov. Salvatore Mascolo, 30, muleteer, of Agerola, presented a child born to Angela Rosa Naclerio, his wife, 36, born on the 21st named Giovanni; he was baptized on the 22nd of Nov. 1847 at the church of San Pietro Apostolo.

| Immigration |
8 Oct 1881 |
SS 'Vincenzo Florio' |
- Found immigration records for a 'Giovanni Meglio' arrived in New York on Oct. 8, 1881 on the SS'Vincenzo Florio' from Palermo; 32 yrs. old, born about 1849; place of origin S. Lorenzello, Wales. These records are from Castle Gardens since Ellis Island wasn't operating as yet; they do not have much information about the person listed on the manifest. I have searched for all Giovanni's that arrived in 1881-1882 & find nothing even close to Mascolo; since the combination of date of arrival & age are the closest to Giovanni, I am going to go with these documents as being his. (The only issue with the date of arrival is that he had a daughter, Filomena, in Agerola Italy on Nov. 11, 1881 & the birth record shows that her father, Giovanni, brought her to the town hall to register the birth - he couldn't be in two places at once)

| Naturalization |
30 Dec 1898 |
Court of Common Pleas, New Haven, CT |
- Received naturalization papers from NARA 10/26/2006; copy of the papers filed at the 'United States of America, State of Connecticut, ss. at the Court of Common Pleas, held at New Haven', etc. pg 204; on Dec 30, 1898 Giovanni Mascolo, 52 yrs. old (b.1846), received his citizenship, he had filed an Intent to become a citizen on Oct. 20, 1894 per this document (NARA has no Declarations of Intent from the New Haven courts for that date).

from the Court of Common Pleas New Haven, CT; he was 52 yrs. old, born in Italy; he did appear at the same court on Oct. 20, 1894 & declared his intention to become a citizen. |
| Emigration |
15 Mar 1899 |
Rome, Rome, Lazio, Italy |
- Got a copy of an Emergency Passport Application that Giovanni Mascola applied for on Mar 9, 1899 in Rome, Italy; seems that he went back to his home town of Agerola & Italy wouldn't let him leave the country without getting this passport. I don't believe the U.S. required passports at that time. I'm investigating this further. Says he was born in Agerola on Dec. 1847, originally came to the U.S. on 19 Nov 1882 from Naples on an English Ship?; says he was naturalized in New Haven, CT 1st Nov 1898, says he left the U.S. on 4th Jan 1899 on the SS 'Patria' arriving in Naples 22 Jan 1899; says he's 52 yrs. old, 5'4-1/2" tall. The Passport was issued on Mar 15, 1899.

1900 Census New Haven, CT for Giovanni Mascolo & Camille Florio
|
| Died |
5 May 1903 |
New Haven, New Haven, CT |
| Cause: injuries from being caught in machinery |
- Death Certificate shows that Giovanni Mascolo died of injuries from being caught in machinery; died within 30-45 min. signed by medical examiner, on May 5, 1903, he was living at 13 St. John St. , C Ward, 6 families at same address, New Haven at the time, shows he was married (doesn't list wife's name), occupation was at wood yard, born Dec. 1850 in Agerola, Italy, 53 yrs. old; father was Salvatore Mascolo from Agerola, mother was Angele N. from Agerola; information given by son. I am assuming Giovanni was buried within 2 days but no date of burial is shown on the death certificate.
.
Got copies of the medical examiner's report from the Ct. State Library archives; said he was working in his own wood shop & the belt broke & he climbed up a ladder to fix it but didn't shut off the equipment. Said his daughter-in-law was the only one nearby when it happened (must have been Sal's wife Adelaide since this was the only daughter-in-law he had at that time).
Found an article in 'Il Corriere del Connecticut' for 5/9/1903, which was an Italian newspaper covering the New Haven area when Giovanni died;
'UNFORTUNATE DEATH OF A WORKER'
"Last Tuesday the worker, John Mascolo, while in the afternoon hours worked in the sawmill at no. 13 St. John St.
wanted to put in place a belt transmission, which was leaving the roller and wished to do it without stopping the engine,
but bad ?? criteria, because rose above a scale ?? (went up a ladder?) was grasped by the board & 'impeller?' for clothes & that ?? transported ??.
his son, present at the scene of terror? immediately stopped the machine but too late The unfortunate worker was ?? and last aspirations ? them to the arm of his son.
Poor.... "
Note: his autopsy said that his daughter-in-law found him with no mention of his son being there.
Translation done by Joan Lozier
Found an article in the New Haven Evening Register on May 6, 1903, Wed., headline saying 'Killed in Machinery', 'John Mascolo of St. John Street Whirled to His Death', the article describes how his clothes caught in the machinery & he was whirled round & round. Also said he was 70 yrs. old, he was only 53; said he leaves a wife & two sons who are employed in the wood yard; he left 3 sons & 5 daughters; all 3 sons were barbers.
Also got copies of the probate records for 'John' Mascolo, from May 18, 1903, shows a $320. John Hancock insurance policy, names all his children except Angelo. Signed by Salvatore, Pasquale & Angela Mascolo, Carmilia made a mark 'X' for her signature (not signed by Christine who was 16 at the time).

Giovanni (John) was closer to 53 when he died, not 70 and he left a wife, 3 sons, all barbers, & 5 daughters. Sometimes reporters don't get the facts just right. |

| Buried |
7 May 1903 |
St. Lawrence Cemetery, West Haven, New Haven, CT |
- St. Lawrence found record of Giovanni's gravesite in the open field at St. Lawrence Cemetery; office said that 1,000's of people were buried in the open field, some with no grave marker. Haven't tried to find Giovanni's grave as yet (Oct. 26, 2006) Gerri Goodwin, Rose Parente's granddaughter, told me that Giovanni & Camille are buried near the black fence that you can see from the Parente's plot at St. Lawrence; I've been there & walked the whole area near the fence & cannot find any gravesites for Giovanni & Camille. Will go pick up Gerri in Bristol & bring her to New Haven to show me where she saw the gravesites back in the 1950'

| Notes |
- Received copies of a Court document from the 'Supreme Court of Errors of Connecticut' for Jun 19, 1891 'Mascolo v. Montesanto'; appeal from city court of New Haven; Achillo Montesanto, minor son of Giuseppe Montesanto, assaulted & committed buggery on Angelo Mascolo (causing great injury, communicating a loathsome disease to him, became sick & disabled), minor son of John Mascolo; Montesanto paid $100. on Apr 5, 1890 to Mascolo for the withdrawal of the suit against his son (the son took an early departure from the jurisdiction); then changed his mind & tried to get the suit reversed on Jun 19,1891; the court overruled each claim submitted by Montesanto & rendered judgement against defendant for the amount of the money with interest & costs.
(Found on Google News Archives; received copy from the Ct. State Library: 61 Conn. 50, 23 A. 714, 29 Am.St.Rep. 170)
