Malon and Jennie (Zukowski) Nieman
Contributed by Robert K. Zukowski
This photo of Malen and Jennie Nieman was taken in Aberdeen, Washington, after they moved there. Malen was a cobbler by trade. He operated a shoo factory in Stanley., Wisconsin. This business was a venture of Grandpa Martin Zukowski who provided the capital. There were different family members employed at the factory. After a number of years the factory was destroyed by fire. It was decided not to rebuild it because the shoe business did not generate the profit that was expected to make it worthwhile. After that Malen and Aunt Jennie moved to Washington State in the Aberdeen area where Malen set up another shoe factory to specifically manufacture mostly boots for loggers since that was a prime forest area. Aunt Jennie died on Sept. 17, 1953, and her body was transported back to Thorp where she was buried in the Zukowski plot of St. Hedwig's Cemetery.
Jennie was the daughter of Maciej "Martin" and Franciszka "Frances" (Kalicki) Zukowski, their fifth child. She was born 24-Jun-1892
