. Stanislaus Styeszewski, aged 79, a resident of South Bend until two years ago, died in his home in Detroit, Mich., at 10:30 p.m. Saturday after six weeks’ illness. Friends will be received in the home of his son, Anthony Steszewski, 1240 Vassar avenue, South Bend, until the funeral, to be held at 9 a.m. Wednesday in St. Hedwig’s Roman Catholic church with Rev.

Mr. Steszewski was born in Poznan, Poland, Sept. 12, 1860, and came to South Bend from that country 55 years ago. He was married April 29, 1890, to Miss Josephine Jurek, who survives. Last April the couple celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary in Detroit.
