Both of my paternal Great-Grandparents died in Lewiston, Androscoggin, Maine. John Elsik on 24 MAY 1941, and Mary Pelcarsky on 23 AUG 1936. Notes written by Sylvia Adams include references to burial in St. Cyril Cemetery. These notes ultimately led to their gravestone location and a surprising connection between the Esik and Ilcik families.
