SOURCE: Alexander Skowronski, Frances Dymek, Michael J. Danko, Jean B. Skowronski Sharron grave marker, Notre Dame Cemetery, Holy Family Section, Lot 245, Graves 1, 2, 3, 3OB, 4 (Worcester County), Massachusetts, photographed by Stephen J. Danko, 09 Sep 2005.

This marker shows that Alexander Skowronski (1887-1970) and his wife Francis Dymek (1888-1963) are buried here along with Michael J. Danko (1913-1981) and his wife Jean B. Skowronski Sharron (1917-1996).

Jean B. Skowronski Sharron was the daughter of Alexander Skowronski and Frances Dymek . Â Jean was also the wife of my paternal uncle, Michael J. Danko .  Jean’s full name on the gravestone reflects the fact that she was married to Robert H. Sharron before his untimely death in 1946 .  Robert Sharron is buried elsewhere in Notre Dame Cemetery.

The motto on the front of the monument reads (in Polish) “Proszę o Zdrowaś Marja”, which means “I ask for a ‘Hail Mary’ “.

Alexander is buried in Grave 1, Frances in Grave 2, Jean in Grave 3, and Michael in Grave 4 .  Cemetery records show that there is another burial in this lot (in Grave 3OB), not inscribed on the monument .  In addition, the lot contains two additional markers flush with the ground.

Tomorrow: About the additional burial and the two additional markers.

  1. Hi Steve!

    This is an excellent example of a two-sided monument and one that includes multiple persons’ inscriptions. I am curious, however, about the small round medallion stake. Even at full size, I can’t read all the writing on the face. I see “U.S.” but can’t make out the rest. Can you tell me about it?

    George

  2. HI George, the round medallion stake simply says “U.S. VETERAN”. I’ll include a slightly better photo of this medallion in my post on 25 Feb 2007.
