Researching Casimir SADOWSKI, birthdate circa 1885, Silesia, married Genevieve GRUBALSKA in Ohio?, died around 1928 while living in Kokomo.
Who are his parents, where and when did he marry, when did he die and where is he buried?
He died of injuries sustained in an automobile accident while he was in Anderson, Indiana. My dad is fairly certain that his father actually died in the hospital in Anderson because he remembers going there to see him. But he thinks that he was buried in Kokomo, possibly in a pauper's cemetary?
I'm afraid that's about all I have to go on at this point, other then the fact that Casimir worked for a steel company and might have been living in company housing at the time of his death.
