Carolina Conti died October 31, 1931, in Brooklyn, NY. She was born in 1864* in Italy, a daughter of Carmine and Rosa Mascia Conte.

Last name was Conte in Italy.

She was married to Antonio Petraglia in May 1869 in Quadrelle, Avellino, Italy. Antonio died in June 1916 in Italy.

She arrived in Massachusetts aboard the ship "Canopic" on 6 Jun 1921 with her final destination being Brooklyn, NY.

Carolina was survived by her children, Rosa Roberti, Felicetta Schettino, Felice Petraglia, John Petraglia, Angelina Petraglia, and many grandchildren. It is likely that her husband had predeceased her, as there is no record of him coming to the United States. Two daughters, Maria Carmina Angeloarosa Petraglia (1875-1881) and Gelsomina Carolina Maria Petraglia (1889-1890), both predeceased her.

*Birth record in Italy has her birth as 25 Nov 1846.
The ship manifest for her arrival in the US has her birthdate as 1848.
1930 census said she was 80 years old. Headstone may have been transposed (and also her age rounded), although death certificate has her at 67 years old.

Nov 1864 - Oct 1931 would make her 66
Nov 1846 - Oct 1931 would make her 84
