Smith Mortuary records of Lead state that he was killed in the Homestake Mine in Lead; cemetery bill charged to John Caretto; buried in the Catholic Cemetery in South Lead. Lead Daily Call newspaper, December 4, 1906 - "Frank Caretto Killed. While working in the tunnel between Lead and Terraville, Frank Caretto met with an accident that cost him his life. The ground beneath him caved and buried him in the rock and debris, crushing his head and causing instant death. He leaves a wife and three grown up children to mourn his untimely death." Lead Daily Call, December 5, 1906 - "Veterans Attention. All members of the Homestake Veterans' association are requested to meet at the Elks Hall tomorrow, Dec. 6, at 1:30 o'clock p.m., to attend the funeral of our late member, Frank Corretto (sic). Robert Fraser, secretary-treasurer." Lead Daily Call, December 5, 1906 - "The coroner's jury in the case of Frank Corretto (sic), who met his death yesterday afternoon on the tramway level of the Homestake mine, was that he had come to his death through an accident. Funeral services over the remains will be held tomorrow afternoon at 2 o'clock from St. Patrick's cathedral, and will be attended by the members of the Homestake Veterans' association, the members of the Miners' Union, the members of the Cristoforo Colombo society, and the members of Hope lodge No. 50, A.O.U.W., of all which organizations he was a member. To the wife and three daughters and to the brother who in sorrow survive him, all who ever knew Frank Corretto in life will extend their most sincere and most heartfelt sympathies. He was a man whom everyone liked, and had he an enemy in the world, none ever knew of it. Pleasant, agreeable, jolly, good-hearted, he will be missed by those who in the hour of their bereavement extend sympathy to the sorrowing family." Lead Daily Call, December 6, 1906 - "Frank Corretti's (sic) Funeral. This afternoon the funeral of the late Frank Corretti took place from the Catholic church, and was one of the largest attended that has ever been held in the city. The remains were escorted from the late home of the deceased to the church, where the beautiful services for the dead were held, Rev. Father McCarthy officiating. The church was crowded by the friends of the deceased and those with whom he had been associated in life. It was a demonstration of affection for him who but a few short hours before had been with them in life, and whose death had brought to them sorrow, deep and sincere. After the ceremonies at the church had concluded the funeral cortege was formed, and led by the Cristoforo Colombo band, took its way to the Catholic cemetery in South Lead, where interment was made. In the funeral procession were the members of the Cristoforo Colombo Society, the members of Hope lodge No. 50, A.O.U.W., the Homestake Veterans, and hundreds of citizens, who had come to pay the last sad tribute to the memory of the departed."
