[TI] Missing Person

[Larie Tedesco]

Tom,

     I checked out the sites I go to but did not find anything on Caterina and only one thing on Michele (possibly?).  It is a death for 1905 for a Michael Corso.  These sites are adding information all the time so I will have to keep checking.  They do not move fast enough for me.  Hopefully this is your Michele.

Died on Train

Louisville, Ky., March 2 - Michael Corso, of No. 131 West Market Street, one of the best known Italian citizens of Louisville, died this morning on the Illinois Central train while en route from Tuscan, Arizona.    Then came at 4 o'clock, near Central city, Ky.  The remains were brought hear and taken to Boden Brothers' undertaking establishment, No. 578 Second Street, to be prepared for burial.
     Corso had been in ill health for nearly two years, suffering from lung trouble.



I checked out Arizona to see if there were any births or deaths for the name Corso but didn't find anything.

Larie, and whoever else out there might be of help.

My second great grandfather, Francesco Corso's Brother Michele Corso was
born in Termini in 1823.  He married Caterina Tedesco in 1844, had 2
Children in Termini (Antonino and GiovanBatista).  He then moved to
Palermo around 1850 and had at least 9 more children there.  Starting in
about 1876, he came to the US (possibly 4 or more times) and by the
1890's settled in Louisville and I think he died there in 1906 (I have a
death index listing his name, plus the age matches, and I know his
children settled there).  However, his wife Caterina Tedesco disappears.
I can't find her entry to the U.S. on Ancestry.com (if she ever came)
and I can't fine a death index on her either in Termini (TI data base),
Palermo (LDS films) or the U.S.  Since I know she on your Tedesco tree,
by any chance, do you have information on her?

Tom
