Panagiotis came to America in 1909 and left sometime after the 1920 U.S. Census was taken. When he came to America, as evidenced by his ship manifest of 1909, he was married. The 1920 Census lists him as widowed. His Wife's name in the former record is listed as "Panagiota". Please note that two nicknames for this name are "Pota" and "Panagiotitsa" as well as other variations on the later.
Panagiotis was living in Vasilakion, Regional unit of Laconia, Peloponnese, Greece (formerly known as "Tarpasa") by February 24, 1925, per his Son's, Ioannis' (John in English), application for a U.S. passport. There is absolutely NO indication that Panagiotis came back to America from Greece after this date. It is VERY likely that he died in Vasilakion, was buried, and later placed in an ossuary. This was and still is a common practice in Greece and other parts of the world. It would have been atypical for a burial to have occurred and a cemetery marker to have been placed in a particular area and for that to have been made permanent.
