Obituary for Isabella Francolino Lettieri Russo, January 10, 1852 - November 08, 1902, of Corleto Perticara, Potenza, Italy and Richmond, Virginia.
According to her granddaughter, Doris Stone Golden, Isabella "had a grocery store in Naples, Italy and she opened a grocery store in Richmond, Virginia after moving to America." Also, when Doris was a child, she used to teethe on Isabella's cross necklace. This necklace can be seen in the photo I have of Isabella. Doris is the current owner of this necklace. Her teeth marks are still evident after all of these years.
