1. 1. Dawn GRIEHM

MARRIAGE:
Bill Dart was previously married but his spouse is unknown. He married again after Isabel's death -- his 3rd spouse was Virginia Gregg.

note: In the 1920 census, there is a William Dart, wife Elma, and son Howard living on Kenneth Ave. William is 27 so born about 1893, wife is same age. Howard is 8 so born 1912. Also, the Social Security Death Index lists an Elma Dart -

DART, ELMA OH 2 Feb 1892 May 1966 NY Lakewood, New York 14750
DART, WILLIAM OH 4 Mar 1892 Sep 1964 NY Lakewood, New York 14750

Could William have divorced Elma before marrying Isabel and then remarried Elma after Isabel died? Or is this just a coincidence? This is confusing.

RESIDENCES:
1910 - 3107 Brooklawn? Ave., Cleveland
1920 - 1803 Kenneth Ave.
RIchards Rd., Broadview Hts.
1940 - Avery Rd. Brecksville, Ohio

OBIT:
Name: Dart, William G.,
Date: Sep 16 1964,
Source: Plain Dealer
Notes: Dart. William G. Dart, residence Winch Rd., Lakewood, N. Y., formerly of Cleveland, beloved husband of Virginia (nee Gregg), dear father of Howard and Ann of Lakewood, N. Y., Janis Kissig of Cleveland, grandfather of Robert and William, and Craig and Mark. Private services will be held at 11 a. m. Wednesday at Henderson Lincoln Lakeside Chapel. Lakewood, N. Y. Any expressions of sympathy should be extended to The American Cancer Society.

CHRISTENING: At St. Casimer's Church on Sowinski Ave., with Anthony Czacherski, Aniela's uncle, as godfather, and a distant cousin of hers, Pauline Cywinski. as godmother. Cywinski was related through the Czacherski line.

MARRIAGE: Bill Dart was Isabel's boss at the Aluminum Casting Company. He promised her a church wedding but never followed through. Instead, they were married by a Justice of the Peace.

Some information that this compiler received came from Cecilia Brzoska in 1978. She went to school with Isabel. When I interviewed Cecilia, she was 75 years old and living at 3721 E. 71st St., Cleveland, Ohio. It was she who told me of the Czacherski and Cywinski family connections. She also told me that she thought Isabel had died of Leukemia but that part isn't true. She mentioned that Isabel passed out a lot. With Glomerulunephritis, Isabel was probably quite sick without realizing it.

Lived on Avery Road in Brecksville, Ohio.

DEATH: Chronic Glomerulonephritis. Untreated strep stayed in the body long enough where in certain individuals, attempts to eradicate the infection led to the production of "immune compleses" or large molecules that could "clog up" the glomeruli in the kidneys, hence the term "glomerulonephritis". Over a period of time the resultant scarring and inflammation would lead to kidney failure. Prompt treatment with antibiotics could have removed the infection.

1. 6. William G. DART b. 4 Mar 1892, ,, Ohio, USA; d. Sep 1964, Lakewood, Chautauqua , New York, USA.

Vincent's family was said to be well-to-do and owned a large, prosperous farm in Lithuania where they employed several field hands. When the Russians came to try to take over their property, they worked a deal to save their farm where Vincent would join the Cossacks and serve in their Army. Whether this is true or not, is uncertain. During the late 1800's, males had to serve 25 years in the military. One of the few stories that have been passed down through the family about this experience is that he got to play clarinet for the Czar of Russia as part of a Cossack band. After the feast, the band members were allowed to go to the table to eat upon gold plates. He had never seen such a feast before in his life.

His daughter, Isabel, was supposedly named for his sister.

He was described variously as dear, sweet, home person, pious, good father, very nice, religous, but very strict.

Naturalization papers specify his birthplace as Sapiergizkis. Various other spellings of this town are also usable: Sapiezyszki, Sapienyszki, Sapizishok or Sepizishok (Jewish version), and the modern version, Zapyskis. The town is located NW of Kaunas at 54N55 23E40 on the south bank of the river. Classification of the town is Zapyskis, Marijampole Uszd, Suwalki Gubernia, Lithuania -- probably the equivalent of our City, County, State, Country.

The Zapyskis Estate was set up on the first half of the 16th century. It was owned by the Sapiega family, thus carrying the name of Sapiegikis for some time; later on, it was renamed Zapyskis. The small town of Zapyskis was mentioned in the late 16th century. The Kaunas-Virbalis trading and mail track went through Zapyskis. On the second half of the 16th century, P. Sapiega initiated and funded building of a church. (It was repaired and reconstructed in 1677, 1744, 1763, after the 1812 War and after the 1846 Flood. Sermons have not been held since the early 20th century). A parish school functioned in the 17th century. The town was devastated during the wars in the mid-17th and early-18th centuries. Annexed to Prussia in 1795, Zapyskis was incorporated into Russia in 1815. Trade livened up (markets and fairs were organised). In 1825-1847, Zapyskis had the urban rights. The flood in 1846 caused much damage to the town, as did the 1957 fire and WWI. In 1919-1950, Zapyskis was the centre of a rural district. Inhabitants of Zapyskis were engaged in agriculture, fishing, and small crafts. (Source: http://www.lietuva-jums.lt/IMI/i_en.jsp?nr=zapyskis_sen_apie_seniunija)

IMMIGRATION:
Per his naturalization papers, Vincent departed from Hamburg on the SS Palatia 19 Mar 1898 and arrived in New York City on 31 Mar 1898. He stated that his destination was Wooster (Worcester?), Massachusetts. He arrived in Cleveland on 21 Oct 1898. The actual ship manifest, so far, has not been found.

SPECULATIONS:
On 29 Jan 2003, this researcher (Sandra Wanicki Rozhon) discovered that a Kazimiery Juszkiewicz arrived at Ellis Island on 03 Apr 1912 aboard the FINLAND. His destination was his brother, Wilunas (spelling?) Juszkiewicz. His home town is listed as Szapieziskis! He was 30 years of age, so born about 1882 and married (his wife's name isn't quite legible on the ship's manifest). He stated that he had been in the U.S. in 1905 in Worcester (Vincent's destination, also), but his final destination in 1912 was Elizabethtown, N.J.. The question certainly is whether this fellow is possibly a relative of Vincent's first wife?
...............
Attempts to find Vincent listed in the ship's manifest for those dates has been fruitless -- the closest record resembling his name and age was Julian (or Yulian) Winitzki who was headed for Milwaukee where his cousin (named Marcin Adamsky) lived. This fellow listed Chovocz as the city he emigrated from. It so happens that there is a town only 4 miles away from where our Vincent was born that sounds much like this one, though not spelled the same. One strike against this name is that if this is an exact spelling, most Winitzki's that have been found seem to be Jewish.
...............
A second possibility is Vicent Bielansky if he was travelling under someone else's name. Another possibility is a Wincenz Wanicki who arrived 13 Aug 1901 on the Friedrich Der Grosse out of Bremen. He emigrated from Rzcgocin?? and listed his ethnicity as Galicy. He had a wife and child with him. While not from the right timeframe, there is a "Kasimir Winicki" (listed as Kasmimir Wunicki on the Ellis Island website index) who arrived in 9 April 1909 on The Rhaetia from a town called "Piple" which I've determined is only 4 miles east of Zapyskis, so also possibly a relative of some sort. His destination was his sister-in-law, Veronica Loslowicz, in Lawrence, Massachusetts. Kasimir's age is difficult to decipher. It could be 22 or 42. He lists his wife as a close relative back in Lithuania. Her first name is also difficult to decipher from the original manifest. Starts with an "M"

Vincent's age at the time was 40, second marriage, married for 5 years (so they must have married around 1905), arrived in USA in 1899 (this differs from what he claimed on his Naturalization papers), he spoke English, worked in a Drill Factory, and was renting upstairs at that address.

Borkowo was located on the map as Borkowo Koscielne, near Sierpc.

Not far away to the southeast is a town called Dziembakowo which is probably where their surname was derived.

IMMIGRATION:
Arrived in U.S.A. 1903 (per 1910 Census).

CENSUS:
1910 Ohio Census (Ward 24, E.D. 362, sheet 5, 8205 Pulaski Avenue N.E.) lists Angelica as 31 years old, in her first marriage, with three children born to her and three children still living. She spoke Polish and had no occupation.

Aniela was good and kind, but also strict, but never mean. She was taller than her husband, who stood at 5'9". She was very good with her hands and created many things with her crocheting. When she died, her aunts came in and took away all the things she had made such as lace blouses, doilies, etc. They also took Tiffany lamps, which suggests that the lamps MIGHT have been from the Dziembak or Czacherski family. Since there weren't any Dziembak relatives in Cleveland, that only leaves the Czacherski's. The aunts in question, then would be the wives of her uncles, Anthony and Joseph.

DEATH:
Certificate #5482 - Adherent Placenta. Died a few days after developing complications during the birth of Felix. Ohio Death Index lists Vol 3314, cert #41212 under the name of WANICKA AMELA.
