Her death certificate number is 4412. Source: http://italiangen.org/records-search/deaths.php. It says February 10, 1898 but Joseph Humbeutel my dad said it was February 11. Maybe the eleventh is the burial date. It says she died at 63 years old so her birth year would be 1835 or 1834. Calvary records says she was buried Feb 13, 1898 at 63 years old so she'd be born around 1835-1836.

Her death at 63 in Manhattan living at 403 East 80th street. She was single, a shoe fitter, buried Feb 13 1898 at Calvary Her father was William Masterson and Mom was Bridget.
