#1 15 Monroe Street was an unremarkable building in an unremarkable town. It was the home of Saverio Antonino Martino Sinatra, who was just twelve when he entered the United States through Ellis Island in 1904 with his mother and sisters.

#2 The most life-changing event of the young couple’s lives occurred in 1914 when Dolly became pregnant. The local doctor delivered the baby, but the mother could not push any longer because of exhaustion. The midwife called the local doctor, who quickly ripped the baby from Dolly’s womb.

#3 Dolly had her sights set on a better life for her and her son, and she was not going to let anything stand in their way. She had her sights set on the better side of the city, and that meant she was not going to subscribe to the traditional role of stay-at-home mother.

#4 Dolly became a midwife after the birth of her son, Frank, in 1916. She was also a backstreet abortionist, and did so because destroying the unborn was more lucrative than saving it.
