The Carlo A. Veneziano Standard Certificate of Death[1] records the place of death as 656 W 35th
Street, 11th Ward, in Chicago, Cook County[2].
The Personal and Statistical Particulars in the left column were
provided by the Informant Vencizo Veneziano whose address is 823 So. Leavett
St. Carlo is listed as a male, white,
married whose wife is Mary with no known birthdate. Carlo is “about 46” years old [born about
1884] and his occupations were real estate and insurance. He was born in Calsciabetta, Italy[3]
to father Joseph Veneziano born in Calsciabetta, Italy and mother Francisca
Meglore born in Calaciabetta, Italy.
Carlo’s residence was 823 S. Leavett St., 25th Ward where he had been
living for 25 years. He had lived in the

appears from Google Earth (24 October 2014 viewed) that the address is a two
story building with two entrances and could be of a 1920-1930 vintage. It is near the corner with Union and across
the street is a modern Morrie O’Malleys Hot Dog building!
