No marriage certificate found, but Della's death certificate confirms she was married to Daniel. Her 3d marriage to Samuel Joseph Bongiovani ended in divorce on Sep. 15, 1950, so I used that date as the start point for their marriage, but it could be that she married someone else before lastly marrying Daniel.
