Paulina (Kurkiewicz) Kaszucka Died October 24, 1905

Paulina (Kurkiewicz) Kaszucka (my 2x great grandmother) died at 5pm in the afternoon on October 24, 1905 in Sabaudia at age 77. Paulina was a widow since her husband Jozef (Stefan Jozef) Kaszucka had already died but I don’t know the date. Paulina was Józef’s second wife. Jozef’s first wife Katarzyna Sokalewicz and their two (or possibly three) children had previously died. Jozef was a furrier of the Greek Uniate faith and Paulina was from a family of shoemakers and was of the Roman Catholic faith. ***** Her parents were Józef Kurkiewicz and Ewa nee Wisniewska (previous married name Rachanska.) She had 5 siblings, including Ignacy Kurkiewicz (Mike and his sibling’s great grandfather) who married Antonina Czarnopys. ***** There were two witnesses who reported Paulina’s death. The first one was Jan Raczkiewicz (my great grandfather) who was 40 years old. He was Paulina’s son-in-law. He was married to Katarzyna, Paulina and her husband’s daughter. Katarzyna was their 5th child and the only one who made it into adulthood. Her husband Jan was the only living child in his family. All of their children (except for Boleslaw -- the youngest) would have known their babcia Paulina. The other witness was Maciej Bender who was 42 years old. Both Jan and Maciej were peasants, residing in the village of Sabaudia. They traveled into the town of Tomaszow two days after Paulina’s death to provide the eye-witness confirmation of her death. -------------------- Took place in the town Tomaszów on October 13th/26th,1905 at 10 o’clock in the morning.
