STAWARZ / STAWOSZ / STAVAS

Sophia STAWOSZ
Joseph STAVAS
 
While researching the Bartholomew BANDUR - Catharina RYBA family who settled in Platte County Nebraska, I found their daughter Monica / Minnie married a Joseph STAVAS.  Joseph and Minnie's 1930 census listing shows that Joseph immigrated in 1913.  I have not yet found Joseph in the 1920 census, but I did find what I believed might be the Ship Manifest for Joseph, his mother and sister.

Baltimore Passenger List -- see Manifest entry
SS Barcelona, sailing from Hamburg, 16 May 1914, (second page is not online) arrived at Baltimore June 1914
Line 9 Stawosz, Zofia, age 30, wife, citizen of Austria, Polish, last residence, Austria Machowa (maybe), nearest relative father and grandfather Jan Platzac (?) (I'm sure about the Pla...), Machowa (Nadowa ??)
The second page of this manifest that would tell where and who this passenger was going is not online
Line 10 Stawosz, Karolina, age 1 3/4, daughter
Line 11 Stawosz, Josef, age 10, son
Margin note: 2214 - Omaha-15-17784-Rialto (Ralto)-107/1616-5154 ??? - 3/4/41

At the time I found this entry I didn't have any concrete information to indicate this was Joseph's family.  I went to an online index for obituaries published in the Columbus (Nebraska) Telegram newspaper and did a search for the surname STAVAS.  These were the results:

Columbus Nebraska Historical Obituaries  http://www.onelibraryne.org/obituaries/columbussearchpage.asp
Name Last, First Obituary Date Newspaper
Kresha, John (Mrs) nee Stavas, Caroline 3/27/1981 Columbus Telegram
Stavas, John (Mrs) Placzek, Sophia 9/4/1974 Columbus Telegram

JOE STAVAS 10 May 1904 Aug 1972 68601 (Columbus, Platte, NE) (none specified) 507-12-2086 Nebraska
MINNIE STAVAS 11 Aug 1904 28 May 1992 68601 (Columbus, Platte, NE) (none specified) 508-44-2514 Nebraska
JOHN KRESHA 11 May 1904 Oct 1983 68601 (Columbus, Platte, NE) (none specified) 508-03-2165 Nebraska
CAROLINE KRESHA 26 Nov 1911 Mar 1981 68601 (Columbus, Platte, NE) (none specified) 508-68-4058 Nebraska

The Obituary Index entry for Sophia shows that her maiden name was PLACZEK.  The ship manifest entry shows that her father's name was Jan PLATZAC, a phonetic representation of PLACZEK.  Sophia gave her age on the 1914 manifest as 30 years, making her approximate year of birth as 1884; the Social Security Index gives her year of birth as 1882.  Close enough, as most genealogists have often found.

The Obituary Index lists a Caroline STAVAS KRESHA.  Karolina, age 1 3/4, daughter of Sophia, was listed on the ship manifest, with a brother Joseph, age 10.  The Social Security Index gives Caroline KRESHA's date of birth as 25 Nov 1911.  Her age is about a year off between the manifest and the SSDI entry.  Again within reasonable limits.

Joe STAVAS in the Social Security Index was born 10 May 1904.  Josef, age 10, son of Sophia, was listed on the ship manifest, with a sister Karolina.  The age between the ship listing and the SSDI is right on.

Minnie was a daughter of Bartholomew BANDUR and Catharina nee RYBA.  See BANDUR for more information about her family.

According to an entry at Find A Grave (http://findagrave.com), Sophia PLACZEK STAVAS, was buried at Saint Peter Catholic Cemetery, Fullerton, Nance County, Nebraska.  Date of birth 5 April 1882, date of death 31 August 1974.  Find A Grave entry.

There was also an entry at Find A Grave for a John STAVAS, also buried at Saint Peter Catholic Cemetery in Fullerton.  According to the entry, John was born 28 December 1885 and died 18 April 1957.

In the Cemeteries of Nance County Nebraska, Volume 2, St. Peter Cemetery in Fullerton has an entry for
STOVAS, Sophia  Apr 5, 1882
STOVAS, John      Dec 28, 1885     Apr 18, 1957
A copy of this book is in the Genealogy Room of the W. Dale Clark library in Omaha, Nebraska.

Find A Grave entry for Caroline STAVAS KRESHA shows she is buried at St. Bonaventure Cemetery in Columbus, Platte County, Nebraska.  Her date of birth is 26 November 1911 and her date of death is 26 March 1981.  Find A Grave entry.

SZALEWSKI

Martin B. SZALEWSKI
 
The following query was posted to the Rootsweb list NE-Polish:
Hi List, I am looking for some details about Martin J. SZALEWSKI, b. 1885 and d. 1956 in Omaha. His father was Mateusz SZALEWSKI (1849-1903) and his mother was Mary STAFINSKI. He first married Anastasia "Nastka" KALKOWSKI on 22 Feb 1911 in Ashton, Sherman County, Nebraska. Nastka died 9 Jun 1929, possibly related to childbirth, but not necessarily. She had been ill for "some time". I am trying to find out if there were any children born to Martin and Nastka, though from family sources no children survived... I am just wondering if there were any births. I am also reasonably sure that Martin remarried after Nastka's death. Does anyone know who his second wife was and if they had any children?
Here are select entries I found in the Omaha City Directories:
