Obituary:
Peter P. Acritelli, an ex-coroner of Manhattan, died yesterday afternoon at the Eye and Ear Hospital, in Livingston street, Brooklyn. He had been operated on the day before for mastoiditis, which developed as the result of shock from a fall, which he suffered on February 13, from the upper berth of a Pullman car. Mr. Acritelli was taken to a hospital at that time, suffering from fractured ribs and a broken collarbone. Acritelli was born in Italy in 1875, and came to this country when 11 years old. He worked in a chandelier factory for a time and then found employment in the cloakmaking trade. He became a power in labor union circles and was recognized in politics. Tammany Hall made him one of its leaders. He was appointed indictment clerk by Asa Bird Gardiner, District Attorney, and remained in the position until 1905, when he was elected coroner. When he sought re-election he was defeated, but was made a member of the Explosive Commission, where he served until last August, when he was appointed Deputy Fire Marshal. His, home was at 373 Ninety-first street. (Source: Brooklyn Eagle on March 4, 1912)
