OBIT:
Name: Walahanovich, Paul
Date: Dec 26 1957
Source: Cleveland Press; Cleveland Necrology File, Reel #164.
Notes: Walahanovich, Paul, of 9207 Prince Ave., beloved husband of Jennie (nee Danielovich), dear father of Mrs. Sophie Petkovich, Mrs. Jean Gladys, John M. Walahan, Alex (deceased), and grandfather. Friends received at the Hopko Funeral Home, 3601 E. 93 St. Funeral Friday, Dec. 27, at 8 a. m. Services at St. Theodosius Russian Orthodox Cathedral at 9 a. m.

Note on above Obituary....the marriage index shows that Alex Burak married Jennie Danielovich and that Paul Walahanovich married Zenofia Burak. Did someone make a large mistake in the obituary, or is Jennie a nickname for Zenofia and she married Alex first, then shows up in the marriage index under her married name? Check volume and page numbers to determine if this would be possible.

Ok, apparently, it IS possible and more than likely.
