The NATALE Photo Gallery

Here are five of the Natale children. Although I could not tell you who is who for certain, I believe that Mildred is at the back right.

I am fairly certain that the picture to the left is of my grandmother, Mildred, however, I do not know when the picture was taken. I found it in my grandfather's wallet.

The picture to the right is of Mildred Natale, taken in 1942.

Mildred ran the Park Diner, in New Dorp, Staten Island, from her husband's death in 1951 until about 1969. These pictures were taken in 1961.


In the 1970's, the Natale sisters visited Italy. The picture to the top left is of Mildred by the Fontana Tivoli in Naples. To the top right, she is by the bay of Naples.

Throughout her life, Mildred loved to travel.

Here is my grandmother's obituary from the Staten Island Advance dated July 13, 1992.

This is the 1920 census schedule that shows Steven Natale and family. I apologize if the image looks sloppy, I had to cut and paste several different scans in order to show the Natale family, which was in the middle of the large page. One little interesting note: this census lists young Mildred and Elizabeth as twins, when really Elizabeth was a year younger.

Here is a Natale family gathering. Steven Natale is on the left side, the second from the front. his wife, Elizabeth is the front most on the right side.

Here are two very old pictures of Steven and Elizabeth Natale. The one to the left is at their wedding. I do not know the dates of these paintings, but I assume in the very early twentieth century.

To the left is a picture of Steven and Elizabeth Natale, probably at their anniversary or something. You can probably see that Steven's face is slightly contorted from a recent stroke.

To the right, Steven and Elizabeth are in Rome on the trip they took in 1964-65.

This is my favorite picture of my great-grandfather, Steven Natale. It was taken during his trip to Italy, and is set in front of the Basilica di San Marco, in Venice. I think it shows you how good spirited he always was.
