A former Lublin resident, Mrs. Stanley Gasiorowski, 47, died in Chicago Tuesday, Aug. 9, 1960, following brain surgery performed ten days earlier.  Mrs. Gasiorowski had been in failing health since February when she was listed "dead on arrival" at Ravenswood Hospital in Chicago.  She was revived after a half hour of no perceptible heartbeat, when a member of the hospital’s medical staff opened her chest and massaged her heart.
