Description
John Dilorio shown with horse-drawn hearse, when his place of business was next to 216 Atwells Ave...White hearse were in common use in 1910 and later until the miracle drugs were developed, as there were so many children that died that children's funerals were very common...This well known family of funeral directors were located at the corner of Dean and Atwells Ave.
