Beth,
My last email was just an acknowledgment of thanks for obtaining new information. Now that I have examined the contents and know what you sent… I am ecstatic. The obituary for John P. Elcik, Sr. is a significant find for several reasons.
- The obituary confirms the theory that John, Sr. was buried at St. Cyrill “Methodist” Cemetery. Wow! Am I correct? Is this the same St. Cyril? The addition of Methodist does not change the location. Right?
- It is the first time I have seen the middle initial “P” for John, Sr. All previous documentation I have is without the middle initial. Somehow this is comforting.
- The obituary says that John, Sr.’s father was also named John. This raises an interesting question. Am I really John P. Elcik, IV? or could I and not my son be the 5th?
- Who is the spouse of John, Sr’s father? Could it be the mysterious Elizabeth Baron? I have a Social Security document that I could never explain. I’m attaching two files.
Wow!
I can’t thank YOU and your friend enough!
John, IV
