Notes for RAFFAELE CICCONE:
Raffaela Ciccone was born in Teora Italy in 1867. He arrived in the Unites States in 1888. It is my understanding that he came here at the request of his son Ruggerio(our grandfather) Since he was a farmer and mason he settled in Little Falls NJ
Here he met and married Martha Young, an English women from Kentucky. They married in 1897. There were no children from that marriage.
According to Aunt Terry ,Raffaela built the stone house that they lived in in Little Falls. He also acquired several other pieces of property including the Little Falls Laundry and a candy store. When these properties were sold I do not know.The Little Falls house was sold for $14,00 after Grandma died.
