Third born son of Sicily immigrant parents Gaetano Messina and Marie Grazia Lazzario D'Angelo Messina. Samuel married three times, Mary Krager (1882), Marie Anaïse Cathalogne (1884), and Mathilda Anthaume (1901). Marie (Mary Annie) bore Louis John, George Charles, Samuel Joseph, twins Eugene Rosario and Joseph Louis. Mathilda bore Vincent in 1902, but he passed away 13 hours later of an imperfect heart development.
Samuel's Occupations: longshoreman, screwman, woodyard foreman, harbor master and watchman.
Samuel is grandfather to Louis Charles Messina "Leapin' Lou", famous boxing promoter of New Orleans who is interred in Greenwood Cemetery with his wife Mariana LoBuono, son Charles Louis Messina and daughter JoAnn Lorraine Messina Lacoste.
Samuel's son, Samuel Joseph and brother Joseph is interred in St. Joseph's Cemetery as well.
His siblings were Dominick, Rosalia, Benjamin, John, Anthony, Joseph and Vincent Messina.
Brothers Samuel R. Messina and Joseph A. Messina married into the Anthaume family. Two sisters, Mary Florence (Joseph) and Mathilda (Samuel) marries the two Messina brothers. When Samuel died in 1907, Joseph's next child to be born in 1908, was named Samuel Anthony to honor Joseph's newly deceased brother Samuel. Samuel lost his son and names sake, Samuel Joseph, in 1905 in a drowning death when he was a Navy seamen in the Potomac River. Samuel and Joseph were obviously very close in life and in death as they were buried in St. Joseph Cemetery No. 1 in section B, burials #1 and #4, along the Franklin Street (now called Loyola) fence side of the cemetery.
If a photo of Samuel exists, please scan a copy and send to me so I can attach it to this memorial.
Any Messina descendant who has knowledge of Samuel's brother, Dominick Messina's family photo album which was rescued from the fire which claimed Dominick and his family in 1887 please contact me. I would like to complete his memorial. [email protected]
