Zowal, Paul A. (25 JUN 1883 - 5 MAR 1963)

Paul Anton Zowal, 70, died at 2:00 a.m. Tuesday, March 5, 1963, at St. Joseph’s Hospital at Marshfield where he had been a patient for about three weeks.  He was being treated for asthma, an affliction he had suffered with for more than 20 years.

Services were held at 11:00 o’clock this morning at the Hoeper and Kraut Funeral Home. Father Richard Hewetson, pastor of St. Katherine’s Episcopal Church, officiated, with burial being made at Riverside Cemetery.

Born June 25, 1883 in Poland, Mr. Zowal came to this country as a young man.  He first settled in this area in 1918, farming in the Lublin Area.  In 193? He bought a farm north of Withee (Clark Co., Wis.), which he farmed until 1952 when he moved to another farm nearer Owen. In 1956 he retired and since that time he and his wife, the former Mary Graczak, whom he married in 1918 at South Bend, Ind., have made their home in Owen.

His passing is mourned by his widow, a sister, Mrs. Frances Rybarczyk, Lake Geneva; a brother, James, of Chicago, Ill.; four sons, Stanley Bartosiak, rural Owen, Casmir Bartosiak, Sigmund Bartosiak and Edwin Zowal, all of Chicago; three daughters, Mrs. Martha Hafler, Chicago, Ill., Mrs. Wanda Teren, Madison and Mrs. Agnes Landrum, Sacramento, Calif., 20 grandchildren and two great-grandchildren.
