His grandmother was Rose Jednoralski Staley. It was known in the family that John was Polish as well but played down that aspect due to possible discrimination he felt would arise due to being a Polish American. Just as a correction to your article is that John Jr. was not Marie's son. She only had Marie. John was a few years old when they married & on the marriage license in Windsor, John W. Smith is listed as divorced. His first wife was Hilda Eberhardt who I assume was John Jr or John P.'s (as Mt. Olivet has him listed) mother. On this side of the family there are NO pictures of John Jr. Frankly I didn't know there was a son until I saw the obituaries. My father in law, Chuck Staley, who passed away in 1979, lived with John & Marie with his brother Ray, while the couple lived in the Mayor's mansion. Rose's husband Charley abandoned her with the boys. The Smiths were able to afford the children until Rose got on her feet. Chuck recalled years later eating Frog Legs at some fancy ball. I have some other pictures of the Jednoralski family & a few of John & Marie's wedding day. Please let me know if you need anything else. You can email me at familylegacy35@aol.com.
