So Walnut Notes for JOZEF ANDRYSIAK: [Piech~52.ftw] The Name Andrysiak
comes from the first name Andrzej (the Polish version of "Andrew"),
which over the centuries has appeared in Polish in many forms. To one of those
forms, Andrys, the suffix -iak was added; it generally means "son
of," so Andrysiak means "Andrew's son" (compare "Anderson"
in English). Surnames formed from popular first names are quite common in
Poland, so it's not surprising that this name is reasonably common -- as of
1990 there were 1,793 Polish citizens by that name. I don't see any particular
pattern to the distribution, which makes sense: this name could get started
anywhere they spoke Polish and had guys named "Andrew" who had sons. The change to
Andershock was probably just due to phonetics. Non-Poles found it hard to
figure out how Andrysiak was pronounced, so someone started using a spelling
that they could pronounce, one that still sounded similar to the Polish
original. Andrysiak sounds kind of like "on-DRISH-ak," and if you
said that out loud to an English-speaking person it could easily end up as "Andershock."
This sort of thing happened to Polish names all the
time, it's not unusual or surprising. JOSEPH ANDRYSIAK N I Vol 3 p 380 b] Mar 1851 Poland. Filed: 7 Apr 1884, age 33. Emigrated Hamburg,

Casper had difficulty showing affection (could be because of being abandoned by
the second wife and Father) but the kidscould get him to do most anything when
he had the money by soft soaping/coplimenting him (Did'nt Get That from his
father) ....HE LOVED THROUGH THINGS AND ACTIONS.... Oral History from
James Piechorowski: I remembered when I
was very little he made me a "BAG full of Wooden Blocks" and Carried
me on his Shoulders ..He was a BIG 6 ft plus man and
with his dark hair and bushy eyebrows he was scary...he intimidated me but I
never sensed that he would hurt me .... He taught Dad (Frank
A. Piechorowski) how to hunt and fish (in those days for food not sport).... Casper
worked at WHITE FARM (Oliver Corporation) for 25 years...so did my dad (35 yrs)
and I worked there one summer!!! We all worked for a
time ...on the same Machine "A HOT HAMMER" and I mean the same one
... this was the one that the Die flew out and hit Granpa (Frank A.) in the
knee in 1938/39 which started his knee problem ....when I worked on it every

2/18/1910 HORRIBLE BURNS CAUSE
BABY'S DEATH ------------------------------- Child 13 months old victim of brother playing with fire. Playing
with fire in the absence of their mother, two children of Kasper Slisz, 430
Kosciusko Street, set fire to the clothing of their 13-month-old sister
Wednesday evening, resulting in her death five hours later. The death of
the child ws reported to the city health department yesterday afternoon. It appears that while
the mother left the house on an arrand to a neighboing store the two children,
two and four years respectivly, secured matches and putting paper in a stove in
the sitting room, set it on fire. The
baby sitting on the floor near the stove communicated the fire in some way to
its clothing and in a few moments was ablaze.
The older child ran from the house screaming and attracted the attention
of neighbors who rushed in to find the child horribly burned. The flames were smothered with a blanket and
Dr. N. G. Borisowicz was summoned. The
child lived five hours. The funeral was held
this morning at 9 o'clock at St. Casimier's Catholic church,
Rev. Anthony Zubowicz officiating.
Interment was in the St. Josephs Cemetery. More About

2008 SOUTH BEND - Today we
lost our angel on earth to be our angel in heaven. Our beloved Virginia G. Koch
(nee Glon) went to be with the God she so believed in.
There is an emptiness in our hearts, but her memory
will be with us always. Virginia was one of nine children born to Hattie G.
Glon (nee Andrysiak) and Henry A. Glon. Preceding her in death were her
parents, Hattie and Henry; her brothers, Theodore, Joseph, Frank, Casmier and
Ben; sisters, Irene Szynski, Adeline Siders and Esther Heintzelman; and a
nephew, Dean Heintzelman. Virginia worked at Bendix for 35 years before
retiring. Virginia married the love of her life, Harold L. Koch, in September
1950. They had their own business, Lydick Tavern, for several years. They loved
dancing and loved to travel and have been to almost all the states. Virginia
was always busy. She did handwork, knit, crochet, needlepoint and ceramics. She
took various classes, loved to read, garden and spend time with family. She was
a Notre Dame fan and was able to see Notre Dame beat San Diego State. Virginia
also liked to gamble. She loved to go to the boat, and if she won it was a great
day, and if she lost, oh well, we had fun anyway. Her loving husband, Harold,
survives along with nieces, Darlene Hite, Kathleen (Joe) Cornelis and
Michaelene "Mickey" Lane; and a nephew, Joseph (Karen) Heintzelman.
Darlene's children, Tim Austin of Texas, Christine Ann (David) Pilarski of
Waunakee, WI, and Neal Patrick of Mishawaka; Kathleen's children, Melanie (Jim)
Praklet of Edwardsburg, MI, and Jon (Gretchen) Cornelis of Granger, IN;
Joseph's children, Leisa Heintzelman and Amy (Jeffrey) Dee of South Bend, Joel
and Laura (Tony) D'Amico of Chicago, IL. Christine Ann's
children, Adam, Alyssa, Amanda and Alex of Waunakee. Melanie's children,
Justin, Rebekah, Moriah and Abigal Praklet of Edwardsburg, MI; Jon's children,
Kaitlynn, Christian and Jeremiah Cornelis of Granger, IN; Joseph's children,
Leisa Heintzelman and Amy (Jeffrey) Dee of South Bend, Joel Heintzelman and
Laura (Tony) D'Amico of Chicago, IL; and Amy's son, Tate Heintzelman of
Granger. Virginia was the guardian of her niece, Michaelene "Mickey"
(Gerry) Lane. Mickey's children, April Suzanne and Eric Andrew (Trish) Lane,
came to know Virginia and Harold as Grandma and Grandpa, and great-grandparents
to April's children, Alexandra Bianca and Madeleine Louisa; and Eric's
children, Jack Christian, Charles Andrew and Jensen Alexander Lane. Virginia
was always there for us. Always there to listen, talk, to just hold a hand, or
give a hug letting us know how much she loved us. She had a wicked sense of
humor and almost never stopped moving. She was up before dawn, baked cookies,
her famous "Robert Redford" cake, and her specialties of barbecued
ribs and party potatoes. She had all her chores done before most people were
even awake. Her Christmas dinners were something we looked forward to all year.
Harold cared lovingly for Virginia during her illness and was a wonderful
caregiver. He loved her dearly and was there for her tending to all her needs,
with love, respect and dignity. We would like to thank The Center for Hospice
and Palliative Care, for the wonderful care they gave Virginia and our family.
Visitation for Virginia will be held from 4 to 8 PM Thursday, September 11, in
the Kaniewski Funeral Home, 3545 N. Bendix Drive, South Bend. A Mass of
Christian Burial will be celebrated at 11 AM Friday in St. John the Baptist
Church, with entombment to follow at St. Joseph Cemetery, South Bend. Memorial
contributions may be made to The Center for Hospice and Palliative Care, Inc.,
111 Sunnybrook Court, South Bend, IN 46637; or to Hello Gorgeous of Hope, 1130

Recording Jean Slisz It would appear that
Cora's parents did not approve of educating daughters in the family. Cora
attended Liddy Middleton School in Madison IN for a while but for the most part
learned to read and write from her brothers at home .
Cora got good grades in art and the genes appear to have passed to her daughter
Jean. Cora loved to play baseball and could always be found with a bat in her
hands, she appears to have been a Tomboy in her early years. When she was
sixthteen her father withdrew her from school. In retailation Cora ran away
from home " I lived with a neighbor up on the
hill" and eventually met her husband Ed Slisz at the Conservation Core in
Clifty Falls In. Cora and Ed were
married when she was 17 in the church at Madison In. In Cora's words "He
was good to me".... Cora had her first child at the age of 18 and her last
at 38. South Bend Tribune

11TH CAESAREAN SECTION Mrs Thelma Podemski,
38 of 434 S Harris was relaesed from St.Joseph Hospital this week after
undergoing her 11th C-Section since 1935. Ten of the children
born by C-Section are living. Physicians said they could recall only one
similar case on record, a women in Rhode Island Mrs Podemski is the
wife of Joseph Jackson Podemski, 54, a farmer. He is her second husband. As Mrs. Edward Slisz
she had seven children born between 9-21-1935 and 12-14-1942. Mrs. Podemski and
her first husband were divorced and the children were placed in the custody of
the welfare department. Doctors said the
C-Section was indicated in the first birth because the pelvis was smalland
because the expectant mother had been in labor for three days. When this
condition occurs the operation is indicated for all succeeding births. Children of EDMUND SLISZ and THELMA GRIFFEN are: i. CHARLES5 SLISZ79, b. August 09, 1936, South Bend In80;

1996 author: Marshall King Casey Slisz will tell
you that he made a mess of his life. He'll also tell you that he had a good
life. Whatever he's had or done he's survived and more often than not singing a
ditty as he works at Hart Housing Group in Elkhart. The 58 year old
Mishawaka resident has seen the inside of reform schools, jails and three
Indiana prisons. Between 1946 and 1984 he spent 24 years behind bars. He was eight years old
when he burglarized Crystal Laundry in South Bend. He got caught but
" they did'nt get it all" he said....He gave his mother money for
food for the family. But after she spent it on alcohol, he had a bowling alley
pay him in food instead of 5 cents a frame for setting pins. He spent time in
Indiana Boys School in 1947 and four years in Whites Institute. At seventeen he
enlisted in the Marines. The next three decades
were stints in prison because of his drinking, burglaries and assults
"Anything an Old Drunk can get locked up for" he said. Through it all his

preceded her in death. On Aug. 5, 1939, she married Frank A. Piechorowski in

her sister, Alice Maeyens of South Bend; her son, James F. (Sharon)
Piechorowski of Elkhart, Ind.; and two grandchildren, Frank D. of Memphis,

married for nearly 50 years, residing at Fir Road in Granger. They attended St.
Pius X Church since moving to Granger in 1955. Their lives were punctuated by
hard work, love of family and a zest for life. As a child of the Depression,
Evelyn would feed any (man or beast) who wandered too near the home, and was
renowned for always having that second turkey on hand for Thanksgiving Day if
anyone was really hungry. She adored her
grandchildren and was always on hand when needed to wipe a tear or sing their
praises. Her last years were hard but she is happy now in the presence of her
God and the love of her husband. Evie will be missed by
all who had the good fortune to cross her path. A formal Mass of

She played basketball for St Adelbert's grade school.... Frank played
ball on the men's team... Elsie and Evelyn used to go to dances and ZB Falcon's
almost every Saturday night, and one night Elsie introduced them. Elsie's
Husband Uncle Elmer was in CC Camp with Frank. Oral History from
Evelyn: My mother used to say,
when I was young, "That one's going to be a clean one", because when
by the time I was old enough to pick up a rag, I was going around the house
dusting. When I first met
Frank, he didn't turn me on, he came over at least 3 times that night and asked
me to dance, but I came up with an excuse each time. Several Saturdays after that he kept coming
and asking me to dance, so finally I figured, what can it hurt, and I danced
with him. We had the rest of that
evening. He took me home and we made a
date for next Tuesday because the Cole Brothers Circus was in town. That was our first date. More About EVELYN RITA SLISZ: Burial: May 25, 2004,

hit he went into CCC Camp. Oral History from
Frank D Piechorowski: He used to tell me
stories of CCC camp. He worked as a baker there. He used to make the
BEST pie crusts. He would mix them up
right on the counter top, no measuring... did it all by feel. I remember he would take all the extra crust
bits and cut them into strips and bake them with Cinnamon and sugar. I can still taste them 20 years later. Once, he and the boys
snuck out of camp one night and raided a local watermelon field, they brought
all the watermelons back to camp and hid them all in the ceiling. The weight of the melons up there caused the
ceiling to sag the commander noticed and had one of the men get a ladder and
nail the ceiling back up. Well of course
the when he tried to nail it back up, he hit a watermelon and this red liquid
started to drip down on the floor, the commander though they had a body up in
the ceiling. He said they got in SO much
trouble. In another, he told me
of one way they would "Initiate" the new guys. They would come in, in
the middle of the night, and have a "Short Arm Inspection". One guy would act as the officer, and one as
a doctor. The "Doctor" would
have a can of black shoe polish. After
they were "Inspected" they would get a dob
of shoe polish on them. Of course, as
soon as they saw their "doctor" in the ranks with them they knew they
had been had, but shoe polish can't be washed off... It has to wear off. We know that Frank
came to work for Ludwik (Uncle Louie) when his mother died, c. 1936 Oral History from

Evelyn Piechorowski Frank took and
purposed to Evelyn on Christmas eve, 1937. He bought a box of chocolates and put the
ring in the box for her to find. When
she opened the box she said "Ohhh Chocolate...", and was very
disappointed because he had bought her candy for Valentines day. She thought, but didn't say "Am I ever going to be engaged to
you?". Frank could see that she was
disapointed so he let her stew for a few days and called her back asking if she
had eaten the candy yet. She said she had had a few pieces. He told her to go have some more and tell him
how she liked them... that's when she found the ring. Frank Earned the money to buy both Evelyn's engagement ring and
their wedding ring with the help of Ludwik (Uncle Louie). Ludwik gave frank a plot of land on the farm
that Frank was to grow and tend pickles on.
All the money that he made from the pickles is what he used to buy the
rings. Child of EVELYN SLISZ and FRANK PIECHOROWSKI is: i. JAMES FRANCIS5 PIECHOROWSKI141, b. September 25, 1942, South Bend, IN142;

D Piechorowski: I remember a story that
GrandPa (Frank A Piechorowski) told me.
When dad (James Piechorowski) was in grade school, he came home one day
all proud and told his mom and dad "I get to be a 'Monitor'" in
school, all happy and excited about this new resposibilty. When he told Grandpa, he asked "Do you
know what a Monitor is?", "No" said Dad, "It's a shit house
tender." Dad wasn't quite so excited after that Oral History James Francis Michael Piechorowski
2-2-2001 Friday, September 25,
1942 4 pm temp 30* and snowing "I
was born" of Evelyn Piechorowski in Epworth Hospital (Memorial) South Bend
In. Dad rode his Bike from Olivers in the snow to come and greet me as he did
not own a car until the early 1950's. I
would imagine that Mom began her life long obsession of feeding me as soon as
she was able to clutch a bottle that same day. The doctors had to finally step
in and stop her
as I grew into a Fat little Guy to quickly. I have always attributed my life
long battle with weight to moms insistance on force
feeding anyone who entered the house. I spent my early years at 1417 Van Buren
St South Bend In, attending Holy Cross Grade School, playing football which I
was never very good at, and being forced to try to play the accordian which I
hated and was even worst at. However I did survive and in 1955 we moved from
South Bend to 52166 Fir Rd in Granger were the family home remains to this
date. In 1956 I attended
Washington Clay High School where I was a fair to Middle student, did some
Wrestling which I liked "Team Captain" and discovered Girls which has
been the " love of my life".
But life was good and I would'nt trade or change
a minute for all the money in the world. I graduated from Clay
in 1960 middle of the class and went to IUSB where I nearly fluncked out until
I was assured by the dean of men that I could get my act together or be certain
that Siagon would be beautiful in the Spring. in
addition dad put me to work at Olivers and insured that I had every crap job in the plant. You could
always find me where it was hottest and dirtyest for the summer of 1962. I was
on the honor role for three years after that experience never dropping below a
3.6 and nearly getting a 4.0 on an 18 hour load which was spoiled by a ROTC
instructor who gave me a B+ for missing a parade. I loved IU Bloomington
joined Sigma Phi Epslion Social Fraternity "Like I needed to be more
social" and met and married your mother Patricia Lee Duncan in 1965 who
was the great love of my early life. I finished under and
grad school and went to work for Whirlpool in 1965, in 1973 I switched to Miles
Laboratory where I have worked ever since. Frank came along in St Joe Michigan
in 1966 and Devon followed him in Constantine Mi in 1976. The two of you have
given meaning and substance to my life. I hope you will remember me as at least
having tried to do my best and never / ever thought of deserting you
irrespective of the circumstances we found before us .
I love / loved you both dearly. Patricia and I divorced
in 1978 and in about a year I remarried Carolyn Humphery in South Bend. The difficulties of trying to put two families together was more
than we were able to handle and the marrige ended in 1984. I wish her well In 1987-88 after four
years of Disco Duck
and Ski Bumming I met and married Sharon Louise Metzler who
cleaned up my act and lets me think I am running the operation. If I had a buck
for every "Yes Dear" which somehow always ends up the way Sharon
intended it I would be retired on the beach in St Thomas. After 13 years I have
managed to hang on to this one and life is good. General comment for an

Szynski Jr. July 16, 1939 -- Sept.
4, 2005 Walter S.
"Wally" Szynski Jr., 66, of North Liberty, IN, passed away Sunday,
Sept. 4, 2005, surrounded by his loving family. Wally fought a long and
courageous battle with systemic sclerosis, a form of scleroderma. Wally was born July 16,
1939, in South Bend, to the late Walter S. and Irene (Glon) Szynski. In 1961,
he married the former Sandra K. Szucs, who survives along with the children
Wally was so very proud of, Tammi (Ron) Hamilton of North Liberty, Tina (Kevin)
Hawk of Cape Coral, Florida, Lisa (Victor) Vukovits of North Liberty and Brent
(Robin) Szynski of Granger. Wally had 12 grandchildren who loved him very much.
Ronnie (a special angel for all of his help), Nolan and
Carley Hamilton, Lance, Tyler and Conner Hawk, Blake, Loren and Jack Vukovits,
Skylar, Camryn and Bradyn Szynski. Through his illness, the
grandchildren would do whatever they could to help him by keeping him company
and getting him whatever he needed when he couldn't do it himself. For the past
10 years, every Friday was family dinner night at Grandma and Grandpa's.
Grandpa loved having the grandkids around, but when it was eight o'clock, he
would yell "Curfew" and it was time to go home. We are so thankful
that we had this special time together as a family. Also surviving are Wally's
three sisters, Barbara J. Toth and Cecilia J. (Joseph) Cowsert of South Bend,
Elizabeth S. (Michael) Kozloski of Granger, Uncle Frank "Bill" and
Irene Szynski, and Aunt Virginia (Harold) Koch of South Bend, along with many
cousins, nieces and nephews. Wally graduated from
Washington High School in 1957, and joined the U.S. Marine Corps, stationed in
California for three years as a combat engineer. In 1960 he joined the South
Bend Police Department and was promoted to detective sergeant in 1971. During
his police career he received many commendations, awards and he was a marksman.
After 21 years on the police force, Wally retired. Wally worked several
part-time jobs, helped Sandy with her photo business and helped to build the
North Liberty Youth League baseball park. Wally was an avid sports fan,
especially Notre Dame. He said that he wanted to see one more Notre Dame football game, and he did. Thank you, Notre Dame, for
winning on Saturday night. Through your life, you meet
wonderful and caring people. The family would especially like to thank Doctors
David Varner, Brent Mohr (and Angie) and Walter Filipek (and Chrissy), Michael
J. Anderson, Atty., Marilyn Wuthrich and Terri Wise of Martin's, the North
Liberty Volunteer Ambulance Service and Aunt Dovie for the potato soup he loved
so much. Friends may call from 2
to 8 p.m. today, Sept. 7, in Palmer Guisinger Funeral Home, 3718 S. Michigan
Street, South Bend. Funeral services will be held at 11 a.m. Thursday, Sept. 8,

to feed not only the body but the spirit and soul as well. She was a master
seamstress who loved to sew, knit and crochet. She also loved to draw and
paint, was an avid reader, and thoroughly enjoyed a good glass of red wine at
the end of the day! How do I love Thee? Let me count the ways/.... Judy Ann was
Dick's wife, lover, girlfriend, best friend, golf buddy, mentor, baker, cook,
golf, swing instructor, part-time secretary, and the mother of their five
beautiful children. She was a true lady. She was his port in a storm, his
sunshine every day, his riding instructor, dancing partner, and gentle critic.
She was the absolute joy of his life throughout their lives together. And their
life together was, as all of their family knew and most friends recognized, a
unique, true love story. Prior to her passing, Judy asked that in, lieu of
flowers, contributions be made to Center for Hospice and Palliative Care of St.
