Place: Wylów
Marriage date: 1895-11-13
Groom: Kapusta, Michal

Bride: Kopera, Julianna
Bride's birth: 1872-12-19

Wylow is about 2 miles southwest of Kielkow. Note the mother's name of Julianna Galda. Pretty close to the Julia Gatla reported on Henry's death certificate. The Polish spelled Galda with a line through the L. That could look like a T to someone who didn't know the difference or didn't read well.

-------------------------------------------------------------------

IMMIGRATION:
The above Michael arrived in the U.S. April 09, 1909 out of the port of Trieste on the ship S.S. Alice. His
destination was his cousin, Josef Kruk, in Yonkers, New York. It lists his wife as Julia and his age as 39. The place he was from was transcribed as Kielkar, but it's easy to see that it is Kielkow.

1. 46. Maria KAPUSTA   b. 11 Jan 1897, Wylów , , , Poland.

IMMIGRATION:
Arrived Sep 25, 1909 aboard the SS AMERIKA at Ellis Island, age 34. Destination was a friend Franz Krokuski of 2104 Denison Ave., Cleveland, Ohio. Is this really the same Anthony? As noted below, there already was an Anthony Kapusta living on Denison as early as 1900. The manifest lists Anthony's wife as Antonina, living in Kielkow, Poland.

RESIDENCES:
1900: Denison Ave., Cleveland, Ohio (Boarding with the Albert Barys family -- spelled as Burriss in 1900 census)
1911: 1246 Redman Ave., Cleveland, Ohio (This address noted on his death certificate by his son Rudolph, however, there is no 1246 Redman. His brother, Ludwig, owned a house at 1226 Redman -- perhaps that is where Anthony had been living. Alternatively, the addressing may have changed early on. This same address was also used on the ship manifest listing his wife and children's arrival in the U.S. in 1911.)

DEATH:
Appendicitis -- died at City Hospital

6. 52. Albert KAPUSTA  

Died in Poland. Her Son was supposed to have lived in Chicago. This info probably came from Julia Kapusta Rozhon.
Pictures in this compiler's possession, show a Mrs. Goetz and two young girls of about 20 named Eleanor and Florence taken about 1934-35 (possibly in Chicago). Are these her daughters?

Source for Henry Kapusta's family data is Luci Kluth.

NOTE:
1) Some deeds for this family are filed under KAPUSTUA.
2) Found a birth record for a male child born Oct 28, 1907 while the family was living at 1408 Redman. It is unclear who that child was.

According to Henry's petition for naturalization the family lived on
Redman Ave. in 1926... then according to Henry's death certificate the
family lived on Redman in 1941...

RESIDENCES:
1906 - 36 Redman Ave., Cleveland, Ohio (old style addressing)
1907 - 1408 Redman Ave., Cleveland, Ohio (new style addressing)
1908 - 1225 Redman Ave., Cleveland, Ohio
1911 - 1225 Redman Ave., Cleveland, Ohio
1924 - 1324 Redman Ave., Cleveland, OH. Purchased 1310 Redman in 1924 (as rental property?) and later sold it in the late 1940's. They also had a farm on Pettibone Rd in Geauga County (lived here prior to 1920). Kept the farm but moved to Brookview Blvd., Parma, OH. 1324 Redman is the address on his death certificate as his place of residence in 1941.

IMMIGRATION:
Arrived in NYC from Hamburg on the S.S. Victoria, 26 May 1900. Listed his residence in Poland as Rzochow which is just a few miles from Dobrynin where Ludwik's wife came from. On the Ellis Island website, there is a Heinrich Kapuosta listed as having arrived 14 May 1900 on the Graf Waldersee who lists his residence as Kielkow and whose destination was his brother, Anton, in New York. The village of Kielkow is the next one down the road from Rzochow, so either it is actually Henry or a very close relative.

MARRIAGE:
Cuyahoga County Marriage Records: Volume 0057 Page 0354 (copy in my possession)
The marriage record states that they were married by Rev. Victor Szyrocki but does not give the name of the church. Rev. Victor Szyrocki was on Kazimer Ave. in 1910, per the census. Under the occupation column it shows "Minister" and then "Sacred Heart Church". That's on the east side in the E.71st and Harvard vicinity. Sacred Heart Church on Krakow avenue confirmed that there was a Fr. Szyrocki as Pastor as early as 1903.

CENSUS:
1910 - Unknown.
Checked ED 18 for Bainbridge in Geauga County but Henry was not found there.
Checked New York -- not found.
If he arrived in the U.S. in the late 1890's he had to be living SOMEWHERE and at least a few of his children were already born by 1910 so should show up too.

IMMIGRATION:
Per Julia Kapusta Rozhon, Ludwig, Anthony, and Henry arrived in the U.S. in 1906 after leaving Poland to avoid the military draft, however, on the 1920 Census, Ludwig listed 1902 as his arrival date in the U.S. He also is listed as PA under the column for Aliens/Naturalized -- which may mean he filed papers by 1920.

OCCUPATION:
Grocer/Butcher - Ran a meat market at 3701 West 14th Street, Cleveland, Ohio.

BIOGRAPHY:
In Poland, Ludwig lived across the river from Hedwig, but didn't meet her till he was in the U.S. He and his family were uneducated because there were no schools in the small town of Mielec. In the U.S., he settled in Cleveland, Ohio. He built a "Sears & Roebuck" house at 3705 West 14th Street, where he lived the remainder of his life. His butcher shop was next door on the corner of West 14th Street and Redman Ave. He raised chickens in the coop in the backyard. He also owned two lots directly across the street from his home (westerly side of W.14th) where he had a large garden plot. In this garden, he had several bee hives, and at various time had a goat and turkeys.

CENSUS:
1910 - Not found. Might have been boarding somewhere on the southside.
1920 - 3701 W.14th St. (ED95, Sheet 9A, Lines 12-16 , Ward 6)
