Marge I did finally find what I think is Catherine Jaworski on the 1930 census (good tip) in Burrows township Platte County under the spelling Janoski. She is shown as 77 on the 1930 census and, if that is her in the Sherman County Cemetery, she died in 1949 making her somewhere between 90 and 95 years of age at her death. The Sherman County burial is very plausible. I found a death date for her son in law Frank Galus for February 1964 in the SS Index. Maybe I can now search for an obit. Thanks, and I will keep looking for more confirmation. diaNE --------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Marge Sandlier <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Date: Sun, 10 Jul 2011 19:58:52 -0500 She is mentioned in the Franciscans in Nebraska http://www.usgennet.org/usa/ne/topic/religion/catholic/Franciscans/pages/ pt2/fine0016.htm JOHN JAWORSKI, 1841-1929 Jan Jaworski was one of the oldest settlers in the Tarnov neighborhood. He was born at Jorvnje, a short ways from Gniesno, December 5, 1841. He came to America about 1873, working near Parkersburg, West Virginia, on the railroad and in stone quarries for two years. Jan's parents, Simon Jaworski and Maryanna Kornatka Jaworski, came about a year later than their son. In July, 1877, John married Miss Anna Szawica (Savage), Fr. Sebastian Cebula performing the ceremony at Columbus. Four children were born to this union: Anthony, Sophia (Mrs. J. Sliwa), Andrew and Mary (Sister Ciotildis, O. S. Fr.). Mrs. Jaworski passed away at the age of 24, whereupon he contracted a second marriage with Miss Juliana Drozd of Tarnov. Fr. Anastase Czech blessed this union, to which were born six children: Joseph, Frank, Victoria, Fr. Stanislaus (now professor at Quincy, Illinois), Monica (Sister Cunegundis, O. S. Fr.), and Maryanna, now a trained nurse. When death again robbed Jan Jaworski of his spouse, he married the widow Mrs. Catherine Plebanek, nee Niemez, who survives her husband. I show that her daughter Catherine who married Frank GOLUS \ GALUS is buried in Sherman County: Sherman County, Nebraska, Cemeteries - St. Josaphat Cemetery http://www.rootsweb.com/~nesherma/Cemetery/stjsphts.html Golus, Catherine F. 1891 - 1964 There is a Katherine Jaworski also buried there... I don't know if this is the one you are looking for, but it might be a clue. I wonder if she might be in Sherman County for the 1930 census? http://www.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~nesherma/Cemetery/stjsphts.html Jaworski, Katherine 1856 - 1949 Good luck :) -- Marge Galus Sandlier <>< [email protected] We live as long as we are remembered. --Old Russian Proverb Forget Me Not - http://homepages.rootsweb.com/~sandlier/ Skype.com free internet telephony - Skype name Omaha-gal -- My Photos http://community.webshots.com/user/msandlier [email protected] wrote: > Query: > > Does anyone have any ideas about Katherine Niemiec Plebanek Jaworski and > where she went after her then husband, John Jaworski, died in 1929? > >From the marriage record, she appears to have been born circa 1860 in > Poland. > ============================================ > > Book 7 Entry #132 > > JAWORSKI, John & PLEBANEK, Katherina > 10 Feb 1903 Duncan Nebraska > > John age 60 Residing Tarnov NE Born Poland F: Simeon Jaworski M: > Marianna Kornatke? > Katherina age 45 Residing Duncan Born Poland No parents listed > ============================================= > She had one daughter I know of -- Kate Plebanek who married Frank Galus > on 19 Oct 1910. > > From: St Michael's records > 19 Oct 1910 Tarnov Nebraska > > GALUS, Frank > F: John Galus M: Lucina Jasicow > > PLEBANEK, Catherine > F: Vincent Plebanek M: Catherine NIEMIEC > ============================================= > > I see that Frank Golus and Catherine Plebanek are shown on your site, > Marge, > > but I would like to find out about her mother, Katherine Niemiec Plebanek > Jaworski.
