August's Siblings

August Kozub's parents were Alexander Kozub and Irene Kelly. Irene gave birth to 10 children and 4 survived.

Here are the names of the children I am aware of:

1) Mary Kozub, born in 1885 in Austria, later married John Obuch, who was born about 1869 in Austria and who immigrated in 1887. Their children were 1) August Obuch, born in 1907 (named after his uncle). 2) Emilia Obuch, born in 1913 (who I believe was named after her aunt). 3) Mary Obuch, born in 1919, (named after her mom). 4) William Obuch, born in 1922.

2) Amelia Kozub, born in Sept. 1890 and died at age 6 on Dec. 31, 1896 in Hazelton, Luzerne, Pennsylvania, USA. Buried Jan. 1, 1897 at St. Gabriel's Cemetary in Hazelton, Luzerne, Pennsylvania. (See a later post regarding my discovery of Amelia in October 2012!)

3) Alexander Evans Kozub, born Sept. 12, 1892 in Hazleton, Pennsylvania.  Died about July 12, 1955.

He married Marie Peters (born 1897) and had two children. 1) Irene Marie Kozub, born Sept 29, 1915 in Cleveland, Cuyahoga,Ohio and died Oct. 20, 1951 in Garfield Hgts., Cuyahoga, Ohio, and who married a Vaiaha) 2) Marcella Kozub, born August 6, 1918 in Ohio and died June 9, 1991 in Cleveland, Cuyahoga, Ohio and who married Charles Beeching and had a child named Katherine Beeching.

Alexander Evans Kozub is living in Cleveland in 1917 when he fills out the WWI Draft Registration Card (where he lists Hazleton, Pennsylvania as his birthplace). He is living at 7716 Jones Road in Cleveland, Ohio when he fills out his WWII Draft Registration Card (where he lists Sept. 12, 1892 as his birthday). With the 7716 Jones Road address, I find the names of his wife and children on the Federal Censuses, and on his obituary.
