Augusta Cordella was born August 3, 1889 in the small hamlet of Roccanolfi in Umbria, Italy. Her parents, Vincenzo Cordella and Rosa Piermattei, had another daughter named Paola and we believe a son named Mario. Augusta married Cherubino Sgriccia on October 30, 1913. They immigrated to the USA in 1919 and had four children. On November 3, 1940 while visiting a friend at the Buhl Hospital in Sharon, Pennsylvania Augusta collapsed and died of a massive heart attack at age 51.
Today we count 16 grandchildren, at least 20 great grandchildren and countless great-great grandchildren. None of us had the opportunity to meet this lady. All we have are a handful of photos and many of these are not dated.
