DIED HOLDING CHILD

Mrs. George Dee of Frankfort
Passed Away Suddenly.

Frankfort, September 18.
Mrs. George Dee, aged 39 years, was found dead in bed yesterday. She had not been well for some time, having been troubled with leakage of the heart. When one of the children went to the bed to give her some medicine she was found to have expired with her 14-months-old baby lying on her arm. Mr. Dee and family are highly respected citizens and they have the sympathy of many friends. The husband and six children survive, the eldest being 14(?) years and the youngest 14 months. The funeral will be held from SS. Peter and Paul's Church to-morrow morning.

Hello again, Valarie!

On the Fulton History site, I located the obituary for George Dee. Stated he was from Oriolo and his wife was Rose Frank (possibly Franchino).

From Herkimer County site.
Frankfort Immigrants from Oriolo Italy

Hey Biff !
That's terrific! I would never have guessed that we could find George Dee's
town in Italy. WOW!
I wonder if this boarder is a relation to the George Lilli on the website you found?

I'm guessing that he is. Shame that George Lilli's pages are no longer on AOL's hometown. We might have been able to locate some additional information for Sharon.

From the website, best guess is that George Dee was Giorgio Donaddio.

Thanks, Valarie.

I'm really happy we've been able to find information for Sharon to share with her Dad. I can't think of any better Christmas gifts than family and memories.
