So when someone passed away, the Mayor would come along with a grave digger? Why was that?
Re: Antonia Failla Translation Please on her death record
NO Tracy. The two men who reported Antonia's death to the town official just happened to be "grave diggers" by profession. Their occupation had nothing to do with the mayor or town official. The two men were possibly neighbors of Antonia's or someone who knew the family. In any case, they were just reporting that she had died.Athena wrote:So when someone passed away, the Mayor would come along with a grave digger? Why was that?
