Maria Amodeo 1888-1914

Maria was not another of Francesco & Maria's children.  Her father was Nathaniel Amodeo.  She had been born in Termini Imerese, immigrated to Canada and married a Biagio (Roy) Amodeo.  She returned to Termini Imerese to die when she was diagnosed with terminal Tuberculous.

Although it is not yet proven what was her relationship to Francesco & Maria, she might have been a niece.  That might explain her burial in the family plot.
