Katarzyna Kaszucka was born 23 April 1871

Katarzyna Kaszucka (my grandfather’s mother) was born 23 April 1871 in the town of Tomaszow Lubelskie to Jozef Kaszucki and his second wife Paulina nee Kurkiewicz. Jozef was 41 when she was born. He had two children die in infancy or early childhood with his first wife. Paulina was 34 years old when Katarzyna was born and she was their fifth child together. The previous four children had died in infancy or early childhood. The death notices do not include cause of death but in their area of the world from 1850 to 1900 there were struggles for democracy and the effects of overpopulation. There were cholera and smallpox outbreaks during the years two of them died. One of Katarzyna’s godparents was Szymon Kubka.. The other one was Julianna Niedźwiecka. (the 2x great grandmother of new found 4th cousin Curt Wolf.) Curt mentioned that our families are therefore even spiritually linked. Katarzyna Kaszucka and Jan Raczkiewicz were wed in Tomaszow when she was 16 (but possibly 14 and ½) years old and Jan was 21. Her father was a burgher in the town of Tomaszow and worked as a furrier. Jan’s parents had been born and raised as farmers in Majdan Gorny and were farmers in Sabaudia at the time of the wedding. Jan and Katarayna’s nine children were born in Sabaudia -- including my grandfather, Antoni Raczkiewicz. Katarzyna died March 11, 1944 in Sabaudia as a 73 year old widow. Reporting the death was her son Bolesław, a 37 year old farmer and Bronislaw Skurcz, a neighbor. When she died her son Franciszek had been killed the year before in the Rotunda in Zamosc (see -----) and her three oldest children had lived in the U.S. for several decades. Stanislawa, Piotr, Paulina and Boleslaw lived in the area and were raising families of their own. This picture came from Andrzej Dubiel (my 2nd cousin.) He got it from Anna (another 2nd cousin) who has these pictures . Anna is granddaughter of Paulina Dubiel (my great aunt.) Her father and Andrzej’s father were brothers. Paulina lived with Anna's parents. He doesn’t know when the pictures were taken but thought Katarzyna looks old in it, so estimated about 1940. It seems like an older photo than that. What are your guesses?
