Antoni Raczkiewicz Died July 1 1868
Both my 2x great grandfather Antoni Raczkiewicz and his wife, my 2x great grandmother Marianna nee Grabek were widowed and then remarried. This means that by the time he was 17 years old, my great grandfather Jan Raczkiewicz had lost both of his parents. *****
Antoni Raczkiewicz (my 2x great grandfather) died young (1 July 1868), a few months after his 26th birthday. I do not know the cause of death but there was an outbreak of cholera in Russia that year. The witnesses were Jan Skurcz, 27 and Andrzej Bonczko/Baczko?, 40, who were both farmers in Sabaudia. Antoni also was a farmer in Sabaudia. Antoni’s parents, Michal Raczkiewicz and Anna nee Dominik, were still alive and farming in Sabaudia. Antoni came from a family of eleven children, four of which died in childhood. *****
Antoni left behind his widowed wife, Marianna nee Grabek. They had two children, Jan and Marianna. Marianna died in infancy. Jan was four years old when his father died. (He later became my great grandfather, marrying Katarzyna Kaszucka.) *****
Antoni’s wife, Marianna nee Grabek remarried a year and a half after his death to Tomasz Kedra. Marianna and Tomasz had two children: Jozef and Katarzyna. Marianna (wife of Antoni first and Tomasz second) died when Tomasz’s children were eight and ten years old and Antoni’s son Jan was 17 years old. The father of Jozef and Katarzyna (Tomasz) remarried three months later to Anna nee Raczkiewicz (daughter of Jan Raczkiewicz and Katarzyna nee Pisarczyk.) *****
