born on 26 Jun 1822 in Lukowo, Poznan, Poland. , , This is the birth date and
place given in his baptismal record. He
was baptized on 30 Jun 1822 in Poznan, Poland. , The original record found in LDS film
#2152566 reads, "The 30 June [1822] I Joannes Zolzedrawicz ], vicar,

laborer Bartholomei Delinski and Anna Tomkowianka, both Catholic, legally
married. Godparents: the laborer
Stanislaus Jarkoski of Pradski [?spelling] and Anna Hermanska of Lukowo."
The priests were
required to make several complete duplicates of the annual records each year
for the church and civil authorities. Sometimes there are errors in the
duplicates!
He was godfather to Andreas Chelminiak on 6
Nov 1871 in Ludwikowo, Poznan, Poland.

baptized 6 November 1871, Andreas legitimate son of Joannes Chelminiak and

year is figured from her age at marriage.
1844 - 28 = 1816
She was godmother to
Laurentius Pokorny on 28 Jul 1844 in Mrowiniec, Poznan, Poland. I think that this is her nephew, but haven't
yet (March 2003) completely traced the lineage.The actual baptismal record
reads, "Born 9 July 1844 at Mrowiniec, baptized 28 July 1844 Laurentius,

Francesca Delinska." I don't know the relationship, if any, that Francesca
has to these people.
She was godmother to Pelagia Mikolajczak on 21
Jan 1872 in Lekno, Poland, Prussia - Germany.

Rejzner, both Catholic inquil. Godparents:

"TWO MEN MEET DEATH -- Run Down by A.C. & G.T. Train -- Frank
Andrzejewski and Michael (Martin) Delinski, of South Bend, Killed in Laporte
County -- Refused to Get Off the Track -- The Result Fatal -- Two South Bend
[men] met death Monday morning by being struck by a Chicago & Grand Trunk
train about two miles west of Mill Creek, Laporte county. The accident occurred between 7 and 8
o'clock. One of the men was Frank
Andzejewski and the other a young man named Delinski. It seems that four men, all Polish, boarded a
Chicago & Grand Trunk passenger train early Monday morning to go to Fish
lake, Laporte county, to spend the day.
The conductor refused to let them off at the ice houses at Fish lake
which angered them, and they left the train at Stillwell. Two of the men, Andrzejewski and Delinski,
walked a short distance from the depot and sat or lay down on the track. In a short time a train appeared and the men
began to wave their hands. The engineer not understanding their actions, paid
no attention to their signals further than to sound a warning whistle. The men, however, refused to move and both
were killed. It is supposed that the men
were under the influence of liquor.
Andrzejewski was the
son of Mr. and Mrs. Lawrence Andrzejewski, who reside on Arnold street. Besides his parents he leaves several
brothers and sisters. He was about 24
years old and unmarried. The remains
were placed aboard a train during the evening and brought to this city. The funeral was held Tuesday morning about 9
o'clock from St. Hedwige church, the pastor, Rev. Father Czyzewski, officiating
and the burial was made in Cedar Grove cemetery.
Delinski, whose first name is supposed to be
Michael, was about 20 years of age and single.
His parents, Mr. and Mrs. Andrew Delinski, reside in the western part of
the city. Besides his parents he leaves
two brothers. One brother, known as
Buck, was catcher for the South Bend Stars and was killed about a year ago on
the Lake Shore railroad west of the city.
Delinski's father refused to have anyghing to do with the remains and
the boy was buried in Laporte county."
He was also known as Michael Delinski.
This name is used in a newspaper article detailing his death. A family story is that he was an
alcoholic who had lost a leg in a train
accident. Aunt Honey's notebook says
"Cousin Betty" (Betty Barczywski?) said that his father disowned him
and wouldn't have his name mentioned in the house.
Irene Fodge was the
person who knew about the train accident.
Aunt Honey said she and her brother Johnny never knew about their Uncle
Martin till just before Irene Fodge died.
Irene told them about it and cousin Betty remembered him also.

rticle from South Bend
Tribune Weekly:
"FELL FROM A BOX CAR --
Frank Delinski, a South
Bend Ball Player Meets His Death -- An unknown man who fell from a Lake Shore
freight train Saturday night about three miles east of Laporte and was taken to
the county asylum at that place where he died was Frank Delinski, a resident of
the south-western part of the city, aged 21 years. The Laporte Herald gives the following
account of the accident: 'He and two
companions, Frank Lenard and J.A. Wyznak, had stolen a ride aboard a Lake Shore
freight train at the St. Joseph county seat intending to go to Whiting. They took up a position on top of a box car,
and, as all had been imbibing to a certain extent of the fluids which
intoxicate drowsiness overpowered them, Delinski going to sleep. He was restless and the motion of the cars
caused him to roll toward the car's edge.
His companions saw the motion and rushed to save him from going
over. They succeeded in getting hold of
him but it was too late, his body then being suspended over the car. With their combined strength they could not
pull him back and to save themselves from following Delinski they allowed the
body to drop. They are of the opinion
that he did not waken during the proceeding.
Upon arriving in the city Lenard and Wyznak told the station men of the
happening. Agent Carpenter, who was at
his home, was summoned and he, Watchman Lindgren, Officer Smith, Operator
Knight and the two companions got aboard a hand car and went back over the road
for the body. They found it lying still
beside the rails. Life was apparently
extinct but upon a closer examination it was found that the man lived. He was put aboard the car and brought to
town, a cot being prepared for him in the ment's waiting room at the
station. Dr. Meyer was called and
examined the man. There were no cuts but

tried to pay $20 coat with $1000 bill! Daddy told me Mother was good sport,
went fishing with him."
"Daddy told us
about having Mother in baggage coach while he and we 5 children were taking her
home to be buried. A young couple was amazed
at how well behaved we were. Daddy was
tired and 5 of us clinging to his arms and legs, was confused with the double
stairway on Walnut St. and instead of turning left and up to bedrooms, he
tumbled down the kitchen stairway..no one hurt."
