Notes for STANISLAUS (STANLEY) PIECHOROWSKI:

[Piech~52.ftw]

Oral History Adeline Piechorowski Holvoet 6-19-2000

Stanislaus was born in Brzyskorzystew, Poland April 19, 1881he was the last child born in the old country when he accompanied his parents on the SS Donau to America in April of 1882 at the age of 11months.

Stanislaus worked at Singer Sewing Machine factory during the day as a cabinet maker. At night he would help Lottie with the decoration of cakes and such things as she was doing in her catering business.

I remember that one Christmas before he died he bought myself and my sister Dorothy a Doll and Buggy that we were to share, as siblings we would fight over who was to play with it and when .

I remember he picked me up and said my name in Polish and kissed me. I was four years old at the time. The next thing I remember is that people told me that he was dead and everyone was crying and I was sad.
