Adela A (Kielb) Rucki / Galus

My Great-grand mother was Adela A. (Kielb) Rucki/Galus who worked at the Toledo Stamping & Manufacturing Company in Toledo, Ohio at the time her first husband Anthony Rucki committed suicide in 1929. I know this from the application she made for Social Security of which I have a copy. Adela later married Joseph Galus.

Adela was born on 15 Aug 1897 in Galicia, Poland. She passed away on 7 Sep 1993 in Sylvania, Lucas County, Ohio. Adela was interred in Calvary Cemetery also in Lucas County.

Ignatious Wisniewski & Catherine Domick

We have pictured here Ignatious Wisniewski and Catherine (Domick) Wisniewski. Date and location of the photo is unknown but they are the parents of Stephen Wisniewski.
Uncle Steve's parents were from Poland and he was raised speaking polish at home.

Although I never met them they look like hardworking folks. If you look carefully Ignatious is hold eggs which I'm sure he collected himself from their own hen house.
