Petition For Naturalization: Orazio Bevilacqua (1879)

 Naturalization Index


Orazio was born 21 April 1879 on Contrada Pieschi in Torre le Nocelle to Ciriaco Bevilacqua and Maria Carmine Russo.  For some reason all of the U.S. records show a birth date of 10 April, but the Italian act definitely states 21 April at 7:20 am. 

Orazio and Luisa Froncillo (born 20 March 1874 in Torre) were married in Boston on 14 August 1899.  Orazio was a construction foreman and the 1910 and 1920 censuses show the family living at 16 Margaret Street in Boston.


16 Margaret Street, Boston MA


The couple had eight children: Ciriaco (Charles), Fiore Antonio (Anthony), Erminio, Carlo (Carlino), Alice, Liberato, Bertina (Beatrice / Elizabeth) and Edith (Ida).  Orazio became a U.S. citizen on 14 December 1925.
