Kaminski, Madeline C. #2 (3 MAY 1895 - 5 APR 1954)

Mrs. John Kaminski was place in her final resting place in St. Mary’s Czestochowa Cemetery at Junction, northwest of Stanley, on Friday, April 9^th.  A requiem mass was held at 9:30 at the Holy Rosary Catholic Church in Owen with Fr. H. L. Crubel officiating.

Six nephews acted as pallbearers.  There were Adam Artabasy of West Allis, Joseph Artabasy of St. Louis, Mo., Robert Artabasy of Chippewa Falls, Leon Vitort, Cicero, Ill., Edward Jakoski, West Allis and Edward Ignasiak of Stanley.

Madeline C. Kaminski, nee Ignasiak, was born on May 3, 1895 in Chicago, Ill.  Her early childhood was spent in Chicago.  Then as a child of seven years of age she moved to Wisconsin, settling with her parents on a farm north of Stanley, in the vicinity of St. Mary’s Czestochowa Church at Junction (Clark Co., Wis.).

In 1919 she was united in marriage to John V. Kaminski in a ceremony performed at Neillsville.  After her husband’s tour of duty in World War I the couple made their home in Milwaukee, where they resided until 1950, when they moved to Owen.

Here they owned and operated the Hi-Way Hotel.  Mrs. Kaminski had been actively engaged in the management of the hotel until only a few days previous to her death when she became ill and then suddenly passed away Monday evening, April 5^th, 1954, when she suffered a cerebral hemorrhage.

Friends will remember her for her genial personality while her family will cherish the devoted care and guidance she gave them as a mother and wife.  In her home she reflected the teachings and guidance of her church, being a devout Christian, she was active in the Christian Mothers Society and St. Rose Circle of the Holy Rosary Parish.

Mourning her departure from these earthy surroundings are her husband, father, Martin Ignasiak, Stanley; seven sisters, Julia Jankoski and Edna Kot, Milwaukee; Sophie Vitort, Cicero, Ill.; Kate Jankoski, Mary Artabasy, Josephine Fijalkiewicz and Louis Ignasiak, all of Stanley; three brothers, John, Stanley, and James Ignasiak of Stanley; one daughter, Mrs. Joseph (Gertrude) Korpal, Thorp, and a son, Herbert of West Allis.
