She married Don Furcillo-Rose in Elkton, Cecil County, Maryland, 16 Oct 1936. Elkton, Maryland, like Las Vegas, Nevada, was a town notorious for its quickie marriages. According to Eve's Magazine (http://www.evesmag.com/nicholson.htm) "Young Jack Nicholson: Auspicious Beginnings" page 5, the Certificate of Marriage for Don and June was found in the possession of Don's mother (Antoinette [--?--] Furcillo , along with love letters, family letters, photographs and a collection of newspaper clippings about her grandson, Jack Nicholson, This article claims that Don paid $10 at the local courthouse to a gentleman who put him in touch with the Rev. Walter Schaeffer, to whom Don, explaining the circumstances surrounding the nuptials [Don was still legally married to Anne Born/Borne and awaiting an annulment of their marriage from the Catholic Church].

Supposedly the minister did not file the certificate in Elkton marriage records, and that Don paid him $20 to keep it out of the newspapers also. The Maryland marriage records have not been searched to date to verify whether this is true or not--mvg 020907.

Regardless, Don was still legally married to another woman and Don and June never lived together openly as husband and wife.

Don was born in prob Monmouth County, New Jersey 23 May 1909. Don was the son of Samuel R. Furcillo Furcella and Antoinette [--?--]. Don died 27 Jul 1997 in Ocean Grove, Monmouth County, New Jersey, at 88 years of age. (See Don Furcillo-Rose for the children resulting from this marriage.)
