Cavallo, Mrs. Secondo obituary (long)

Event Date : Tuesday, May 27, 1952
Event Type : Death

Description : Although an invalid for the past seventeen years, the death of Mrs. Secondo Cavallo early last Tuesday morning was most unexpected. She had been about her home on Monday evening as usual and was found by her grandson Tuesday morning, having passed away in her sleep during the night. Born in Citta L'Angelo, Antrodoca in March, 1892, the deceased came to Canada, and Calgary, Alta, in 1912. That year she married Secondo Cavallo in Calgary where they lived for about three years. In 1915 Mr. and Mrs. Cavallo moved to Bradford where they have since resided. Mrs. Cavallo was very clever with her hands, her needlework and knitting being works of art. During her long years of invalidism her hands were seldom idle. The deceased is survived by her husband; one son, Bruno, of Sudbury; a daughter, Aida (Mrs. Thoms); two grandsons; a brother and sister in Italy and another sister residing in Alberta. A brother predeceased her last November. A member of Holy Martyrs' Church, her funeral was held from the Funeral Home of T. Kilkenny & Son on Friday morning to the Church of the Holy Martyrs for mass at 9 o'clock. Interment was in the Roman Catholic Cemetery.
