I'm travelling abroad at the moment so I don't have that much information on hand. but here is some background: Charlie Pope came to america when he was a teen, they claim all he had with him was a salami and 10 cents in his pocket. He married Josephina (her maiden name was Zito) when she was about 15 years old. They had 4 daughters and 3 sons. Salvatore, Donald, Albert, josephina, violet, anna, helen. All deceased. Charlie was an amazing mason, a real master and a very nice man. His father came to Connecicut for a while and worked with Charlie on various bulding/masonry projects but he went back to Italy. Charlie and his relatives were from Sessa Aurunca, Italy. A mountain town in southern italy.
