. Kustancyja (Constance) "Gustie" LEDA was born on February 5, 1885 in Crumstown, IN. She died on June 14, 1959 in Crumstown, IN. The furneral was held at St. Stanislaus Kostka with burial in St. Joseph Cemetery. She was ill with diabetis. Gustie was approximately 42 years old when she found out she had a brain tumor. She became paralyzed in the legs, went blind and could hardly talk. At that point, nobody in the area had survived a brain tumor. Gustie went to the hospital for surgery and told the doctor that she would live, despite being told that if she survived the surgery she would live only about 10 more years. For the next nine days, neighbors and friends gathered in her yard at noon and said the rosary, asking God for Gustie to either recover or to give her peace. When Gustie came out of the surgery, she could see and recovered very quickly. Gustie's equilibrium was off after the brain surgery and sometimes she would walk sideways. Years later her condition deteriorated, but she still surpassed the doctor's prognosis. It was a miracle for the Glon family.
Shortly after her husband, Steve, died, the U.S. joined World War II and soon all four sons were serving their country. Gustie worked at Studebaker's during this time.
Gustie showed her independent spirit, in the fact, that while a widow she received and turned down two marriage proposals.
In her late sixties, Gustie had to take insulin for diabetes but toward the end of her life there were no signs of the illness.
Gustie enjoyed trips to Florida and flew alone, in order to meet relatives there.
A room that was important to her was her parlor. In the old farmhouse, she had a room with French doors, fine things and velvet sofas, which were unusual for farmhouses. She was a cigar maker when she was married. A housewife later in life. Stanislaw "Steve or Stanley" GLON and Kustancyja (Constance) "Gustie" LEDA had the following children:
