Josephine Mary Dabuliewicz

Josef, Stephania & baby Josephine
Josef's wife, Stephania died in 1913 after the Great Dayton Flood. She died of Strep. Josephine was only 7 and he abandoned her to the Alexinas family of Dayton, Ohio. (Read more about that story in Josephine's 52 Ancestor's Biography here.)
Josef remarried on 17 May 1914 in Manchester, New Hampshire to Honorata Cieslak (1891-1977), an immigrant of Austria. Together, they had 6 children:
1. Mary (1914-1941)
2. Helen (1917-?)
3. Walter Alexander (1918-1995)
4. Stanley (1921-?)
5. Joseph John (1925-2012)
6. Adella M. (1930-?)
According to all census records, Josef and Honrata spent their lives in Winchendon, Massachusetts. He spent his occupational life working in a chair factory as a sander.
Josef died at the age of 95 on 21 Feb 1977 of Leukemia. I have not located his burial, but I can assume it's probably in Winchendon.
You have done some wonderful research on your family. Joseph's youngest daughter Adella still lives at the family homestead.
