A rather bleak scene at St. Ann's Catholic Cemetery last Sunday

A rather bleak scene of St. Ann's Cemetery in Cranston , Rhode Island last Sunday . I went looking for the long lost gravesite of my grandmother Andreana Ruggieri 's brother , Carmine Napoletano . Way back in September 1963 the news reported that the Italian immigrant Carmine drowned himself off Narragansett Pier , despondent over a failed pizzeria there and failing health at the age of 63. Recall that MEDICARE did not pass until 1965 , a year of LBJ'S " Great Society ". I found Carmine 's grave site at Section 30 , number 366 . Buried with him is his wife " Lina " .
