SOME JOSEPH L. MASSETTI INFORMATION FOUND

Regarding Len Augsberger's request for information on Joseph L. Massetti
(believed to have purchased U.S. Mint items from the Frank H. Stewart
estate), Saul Teichman writes: "Frank Stewart donated at least part of
his collection to the city of Philadelphia in 1914. I have an inventory
of this collection.  The following link on the uspatterns.com website
contains some information on this - uspatterns.com."

Dave Lange writes: "I did a search on Joseph L. Massetti through
Ancestry.com and found the following:  He was born November 9, 1906
and died November 5, 1997. At the time of his death he was residing in
Ardmore, Pennsylvania. He was the son of Adelio and Marion Massetti,
and in 1930 he had three brothers and two sisters. Only the younger
sister was born late enough (c.1928) that she's likely to be alive, so
I did a search on her. Unfortunately, I've found that females are harder
to trace, because of losing their maiden names after marriage. I found
no record of a Marian Massetti marrying, so I couldn't determine her
married name, if any. On the plus side, I found no record of her death,
and I did find some telephone listings in Pennsylvania for an M.
Massetti."

Len Augsberger adds: "I had spent about an hour on Ancestry.com looking
for the death date with no luck - seems it was filed under J. L. Massetti
& I did not think to allow for that spelling - sometimes an extra set of
eyes really helps.  Thanks!"
