IMMIGRATION:
Per Julia Kapusta Rozhon, Ludwig, Anthony, and Henry arrived in the U.S. in 1906 after leaving Poland to avoid the military draft, however, on the 1920 Census, Ludwig listed 1902 as his arrival date in the U.S. He also is listed as PA under the column for Aliens/Naturalized -- which may mean he filed papers by 1920.

OCCUPATION:
Grocer/Butcher - Ran a meat market at 3701 West 14th Street, Cleveland, Ohio.

BIOGRAPHY:
In Poland, Ludwig lived across the river from Hedwig, but didn't meet her till he was in the U.S. He and his family were uneducated because there were no schools in the small town of Mielec. In the U.S., he settled in Cleveland, Ohio. He built a "Sears & Roebuck" house at 3705 West 14th Street, where he lived the remainder of his life. His butcher shop was next door on the corner of West 14th Street and Redman Ave. He raised chickens in the coop in the backyard. He also owned two lots directly across the street from his home (westerly side of W.14th) where he had a large garden plot. In this garden, he had several bee hives, and at various time had a goat and turkeys.

1. 6. Lawrence M. KAPUSTA  

BIRTH:
Born at home (3705 West 14th St). St. Barbara's school records show her birthdate as Nov 9, 1915 and her baptism date as Nov 15, 1915 which is contrary to the October birth month Julia recognised as her correct month. The card specifies that the date was obtained as a parent's statement, which is understandable since Julia was born at home and the family had probably never applied for a birth certificate.

OCCUPATION:
Employed by The May Co. Department Store and then Higbee's Department Store as a gift wrapper and packer.

RESIDENCES:
Born and raised at 3705 West 14th St. Moved to 3701 West 14th St. (next door above the grocery store run by her father) when she married. Moved to 3618 West 47th when the city took her neighborhood for the Jennings Freeway. After suffering a stroke on Groundhog's Day (Feb 1993), she was sent to a nursing home for recovery and then moved in with her son and daughter-in-law at their home in Elyria, Ohio.

MARRIAGE:
