I’ve been exchanging information about the Skowronski family with a cousin of a cousin, Louise Gagnon .\u00a0 Yesterday, Louise visited St. John’s Cemetery in Gardner, Massachusetts and Notre Dame Cemetery in Worcester, Massachusetts and sent me copies of the photographs she took there.<\/p>\n

I was especially interested in the photographs Louise took of the grave of Sophie Skowronski and John Soboroski .\u00a0 Sophie was the last child of Alexander Skowronski and Frances Dymek .\u00a0 John was Alexander Skowronski’s half brother .\u00a0 John Soboroski and Alexander Skowronski immigrated to the United States together on the S.S. Graf Waldersee, arriving at Ellis Island on 29 Mar 1903 .\u00a0 Both\u00c2\u00a0are listed on the passenger manifest\u00c2\u00a0under the surname Siborowski.<\/p>\n

The front of the monument reads:<\/p>\n

SKOWRONSKI<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The back of the monument reads:<\/p>\n

SOPHIE
\n1926 – 1926
\nJOHN
\nSOBOROSKI
\n1897-1976<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I’m not sure exactly where this monument is located within Notre Dame Cemetery, but Louise mentioned that it was way in the back of the cemetery by Lyman Street .\u00a0 From that description, I suspect this monument is not far from where my Aunt Bronis\u0142awa Da\u0144ko<\/a>\u00c2\u00a0is buried.<\/p>\n
