Uncle in Ohio?

My latest thinking is that Alex and Irene Kozub have more relatives in Ohio. Lots of Kozubs lived in the Cleveland area.

I just discovered that Alex, Irene and August lived in Cleveland, Ohio in 1917. That would have been between their 1910 stint in Menallen, Fayette, Pennsylvania and their 1920 stint in Rahway, Union, New Jersey. They could have lived in Cleveland to be near family. Or. . . they were there for yet another job.

Check out this listing in the 1917 Cleveland City Directory:

In 1918, August is living at 116 Wilbur Ave. in Turtle Creek, Allegheny, Pennsylvania when he fills out his WWI Draft Registration Card. On Feb. 7, 1920, he is living at 1217 Airbrake St. in Turtle Creek, Allegheny, Pennsylvania. Turtle Creek is a suburb of Pittsburgh, and not far from Ohio. I am not sure, but I think August was living with parents Alex and Irene in 1918. He lists his nearest living relative as "Reverend Alexander Kozub."


Also, August died in Youngstown, Mahoning, Ohio - not far from Cleveland - Dec. 30, 1928.

In addition, August's older brother Alexander Evans Kozub seems to have lived in Ohio.  If I have the right guy, Alexander Evans is living in Cleveland, Cuyahoga, Ohio 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.


Sources I have for Ohio relations: None

Leads I have for Ohio relations: 1917 Cleveland City Directory - listing Alex, Irene and August, August's death certificate in Ohio, Alexander Evans Kozub WW I and WW II Draft Registration Cards.
