Note from: Angela Possemato - angeposs@gmail.com 19 Feb 2022:

I am wondering if there is any way to get access to the original photos shown above.

The second photo is the most important. My great uncle Joseph Vetrone is identified as the boy on the top row, first one on the left. He died at age 16 from TB and this is one of the very few photos that seems to exist of him. I grew up in Cadosia/Hancock and am creating a Family History book of both my family (Rillo-Vetrone) and my husband's family (Possemato and DeSerio) and these photos, but especially the bottom one would be such a treasure to have of this young man who by all accounts was an accomplished student and fine person, taken from us too soon.

In the top photo my husband's aunt, Irene Possemato Vitale is identified and I will show it to her oldest daughter (who also went to the Codosia School as a little girl).

I would date these photos between 1927-1930 as the people I knew or remember and can place their birthdates between 1921-1922 and they look to be about 6-8 years old.
Joseph Vetrone, Irene Possemato, Leona Sickles and Anna possemato were all born in 1921
Louis DaBresica, Tony Fortunato in 1920
Rocco Fortunato in 1922
Dorothy Possemato 1923
