In response to your recent query re: Iwanoski's Funeral Home at 579 Wabasha, St. Paul. The Iwanoski (aka Ivanoski) family moved to St. Paul, just after the turn of the 20th century and settled in the Frogtown neighborhood, on Edmund street. By 1912, Felix Iwanoski (son of John and Bertha Iwanoski) was working as an embalmer's apprentice with Frank Godbout, a well known funeral director, who's business was located on Wabasha Street, near the State Capitol Building. In about 1916, Felix Iwanoski started his own undertaking business, opening his first funeral parlor at 93 W. Seventh street., in downtown St. Paul. The business was later moved to Wabasha street, where the family operated their funeral home at various addresses, with various partners, for more than 30 years. In 1949, Vernon Iwanoski (nephew of Felix) moved his business to 1235 Arcade Street, on St. Paul's Eastside, and renamed the company, Phalen Park Funeral Home. In 2005, the Phalen Park Funeral Home merged with another company, and is now known as Maple Oaks/Phalen Park Funeral Home, located at 2585 Stillwater Road, Maplewood, MN 55119. The Iwanoski Funeral Home records are preserved (though all are not complete) at the Maple Oaks/Phalen Park Funeral Home. Please write them with your specific request. Hope this helps.

I have a portrait of the Tonawanda Club 1916 taken by N. A. Forseen, 6th and St. Peter Sts. I have tried to find information on this 'club' online but have found no reference to it. It is on my list to research on my next trip to MNHS, but I thought somebody on this list may be familiar with the group. My grandfather, Joseph B. Gerlach, is pictured, along with about 59 other young men in individual oval head-shot photos each identified by name. My grandfather was about 18 at that time. The picture lists officers as follows: President G.W. Winkel (Winnel?), Vice President C.B. Michel, Secretary A.W. Kasmirski, and Treasurer G.F. Gerlach. Does anyone know the purpose of this group? Social club of some sort? I can list the names of the other young men or send a scan if anyone is interested. Kathy Brinda __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
