No cause of death in this record. Normally Italian death records do not give the cause of death.

Very difficult record to read, even after importing it into a photo program and trying to clean it up. Not sure about the following, but this is what I can decipher.

Dated Sept 30, 1884 at 9:15 a.m.

Informants were Raffaele Manfredonia, age 50, bracciale (farmhand) living in Castellammare and Vincenzo (can't make out his last name), age 40, a bracciale. Both were living in Castellammare. They reported that Catello Ponzo, age 18, single, had died today. He was the son of Mariano (Ponzo) a bracciale and Concetta Palermierio. Witnesses were Giovanni (not sure this is his first name) Ferrara, age 50, a bracciale, and Giovanni ?, age 40, a bracciale. Both witnesses were residents in the town.

The town official read the present act to all who intervened but only he signed below, as the others were illiterate..

Catello died at 1:15am and his mother name was Concetta Palmieri. The street name could be Vico Licerta.

Thanks, Livio. I actually copied the mother's surname from Marty's post, as I thought he had the correct spelling from another record.
