FRANCESCO ANTONIO SARLI (1889-1993)

I recently received permission from a great-granddaughter of Francesco Antonio Sarli to share a very special photo of him and her. He was born December 7,1889, in Laurenzana, Italy, to Vito Maria Sarli and his first wife Maria Vittoria Fanelli. Our Rocco Sarli/Joseph Mott was his uncle. At the end of my fourth blog, I included a photo of him from his Declaration of Intention for naturalization. He was 42. Here, he is 85 years old! He lived to be 103!!!
