Pompei’s record of religious rites notes that Prato was 21 years old, lived at 93 MacDougal and had her funeral at 10:30 a.m., Tortorelli was 17, lived at 116 Thompson and had her funeral at 11:30 a.m.; both were bruciati nel fuoco, and the families of both offered funeral stipends. Giannatasio was 24 and lived at 6 Bedford, Bassino lived at 97 West Houston, both were burnt in the fire, and Father Demo said their Mass without receiving the customary stipends.
