WIFE AND SON/ OF/ FRANCIS WOODALL/ BORN IN KENTUCKY, U.S.A./ DIED IN FLORENCE/ AUGUST 12 1865

The unpaid American Consul at the time, the Swedenborgian B32/ HIRAM POWERS, wrote to his widow: 'Mr Woodall's grave is in the same cemetery where three of my own children are buried. A more beautiful spot could hardly be found. It is against the outer wall of the city and it looks more like a beautiful garden than a place of the dead. In the spring and summer the place blooms with flowers, and even in winter there are some roses lingering over the graves. . . . I indeed go to the graves of my children and my tears fall upon their graves while I look up, giving to earth her just tribute . . . She may claim our bodies but not our souls'. Descendant notes that Allen Woodall was a Kentucky railroad conductor. His relative (sister? perhaps both tuberculor?) seems to have gone with him to Italy and to have briefly married into the Italian Pierucci family.
