Salvatore Matthew MASCARI¹ {M} = Maria UNKNOWN² {F}

Salvatore Matthew MASCARI:

Born 1866, Termini Imerese, Sicily
Died 19 October 1921, Rochester, Monroe Co, NY
Buried 21 October 1921, Rochester, Monroe Co, NY at Holy Sepulchre Cemetery
Death: 10 Jan 1999: Matthew, died in 1921 at age 55. Somewhere in the intervening years, Maria moved from 9 Weld Street in the city to 28 Marlborough Road,on the west side of the city near the airport, which was probably almost "suburban" at that time. Even now, it is an area of the city known as still being an area of well kept older city homes with nice woodworking details inside them.
Burial: His grave is Section SO-5, Lot 32, Grave 4 N-E.

19 Oct 1921: Obituary obtained from Rochester Democrat & Chronicle, Thursday October 20, 1921 indicates that Salvatore "Matthew" died on Wednesday morning October 19, 1921 at the family home at 9 Weld Street. He was survived by his wife, Maria. Also survived by five daughters (not named) and two sons. Also survived by two brothers and five sisters.
Funeral on Friday morning, October 21, 1921 at 8:45 AM from the family house and 9:00 AM from St. Joseph's Church.

10 Jan 1999: The above obituary was obtained on Jan 10, 1999. At this time we thought Matthew was one of five children (Matthew, Rosario, Frances, Lucia and Maria) not EIGHT children! So, there is one other brother and two more sisters that we do not know about at this time.

Also, St. Joseph's Church was located on Franklin Street in downtown Rochester, behind the area of Sibley's Department Store (now closed). It was struck by fire in the mid-70's to mid-80's and the front shell of the Church was preserved for it's architectural value and the interior area of the burned out church was turned into a garden courtyard. Paul J. Caito (b. 1953) attended Mass there once on Ascension Thursday, 1971 as a high school student on a school trip to Rochester. He remembers the interior of the Church as having beautiful stained glass windows. The Church was only about 5 blocks from Weld Street, where the family lived. Weld Street runs off North Street, about 2 blocks north of University Avenue. The current site of 9 Weld Street is the back parking lot for the buildings that front onto North Street. 9 Weld Street was the south side of the street. The first house that is still standing on the south side of Weld is # 13 Weld. It appears that the buildings at North St. and Weld St. were storefronts at one time, possibly as grocery store. It would appear that S. Matthew and his family had an ideal location for a home that was close to shopping and within walking distance of the downtown business district. It was probably a very nice area of the city at one time.
