Jacob DELINSKI was born on 26 Jun 1822 in Lukowo, Poznan, Poland. , , This is the birth date and place given in his baptismal record.  He was baptized on 30 Jun 1822 in Poznan, Poland. ,   The original record found in LDS film #2152566 reads, "The 30 June [1822] I Joannes Zolzedrawicz ], vicar, baptized the infant born the 26th of this same month, Jacobum, son of the laborer Bartholomei Delinski and Anna Tomkowianka, both Catholic, legally married.  Godparents: the laborer Stanislaus Jarkoski of Pradski [?spelling] and Anna Hermanska of Lukowo."

The priests were required to make several complete duplicates of the annual records each year for the church and civil authorities. Sometimes there are errors in the duplicates!

 He was godfather to Andreas Chelminiak on 6 Nov 1871 in Ludwikowo, Poznan, Poland.   The baptismal record reads, "Born 6 November 1871 at Ludwikowo, baptized 6 November 1871, Andreas legitimate son of Joannes Chelminiak and Marianna Lewandoska, Catholic civil.

She was godmother to Laurentius Pokorny on 28 Jul 1844 in Mrowiniec, Poznan, Poland.

Train -- Frank Andrzejewski and Michael (Martin) Delinski, of South Bend, Killed in Laporte County -- Refused to Get Off the Track -- The Result Fatal -- Two South Bend [men] met death Monday morning by being struck by a Chicago & Grand Trunk train about two miles west of Mill Creek, Laporte county.  The accident occurred between 7 and 8 o'clock.  One of the men was Frank Andzejewski and the other a young man named Delinski.  It seems that four men, all Polish, boarded a Chicago & Grand Trunk passenger train early Monday morning to go to Fish lake, Laporte county, to spend the day.  The conductor refused to let them off at the ice houses at Fish lake which angered them, and they left the train at Stillwell.  Two of the men, Andrzejewski and Delinski, walked a short distance from the depot and sat or lay down on the track.  In a short time a train appeared and the men began to wave their hands. The engineer not understanding their actions, paid no attention to their signals further than to sound a warning whistle.  The men, however, refused to move and both were killed.  It is supposed that the men were under the influence of liquor.

Andrzejewski was the son of Mr. and Mrs. Lawrence Andrzejewski, who reside on Arnold street.  Besides his parents he leaves several brothers and sisters.  He was about 24 years old and unmarried.  The remains were placed aboard a train during the evening and brought to this city.  The funeral was held Tuesday morning about 9 o'clock from St. Hedwige church, the pastor, Rev. Father Czyzewski, officiating and the burial was made in Cedar Grove cemetery.

 Delinski, whose first name is supposed to be Michael, was about 20 years of age and single.  His parents, Mr. and Mrs. Andrew Delinski, reside in the western part of the city.  Besides his parents he leaves two brothers.  One brother, known as Buck, was catcher for the South Bend Stars and was killed about a year ago on the Lake Shore railroad west of the city.  Delinski's father refused to have anyghing to do with the remains and the boy was buried in Laporte county."  He was also known as Michael Delinski.   This name is used in a newspaper article detailing his death.  A family story is that he was an alcoholic  who had lost a leg in a train accident.  Aunt Honey's notebook says "Cousin Betty" (Betty Barczywski?) said that his father disowned him and wouldn't have his name mentioned in the house.

Irene Fodge was the person who knew about the train accident.  Aunt Honey said she and her brother Johnny never knew about their Uncle Martin till just before Irene Fodge died.  Irene told them about it and cousin Betty remembered him also.

rticle from South Bend Tribune Weekly:
 "FELL FROM A BOX CAR --
Frank Delinski, a South Bend Ball Player Meets His Death -- An unknown man who fell from a Lake Shore freight train Saturday night about three miles east of Laporte and was taken to the county asylum at that place where he died was Frank Delinski, a resident of the south-western part of the city, aged 21 years.  The Laporte Herald gives the following account of the accident:      'He and two companions, Frank Lenard and J.A. Wyznak, had stolen a ride aboard a Lake Shore freight train at the St. Joseph county seat intending to go to Whiting.  They took up a position on top of a box car, and, as all had been imbibing to a certain extent of the fluids which intoxicate drowsiness overpowered them, Delinski going to sleep.  He was restless and the motion of the cars caused him to roll toward the car's edge.  His companions saw the motion and rushed to save him from going over.  They succeeded in getting hold of him but it was too late, his body then being suspended over the car.  With their combined strength they could not pull him back and to save themselves from following Delinski they allowed the body to drop.  They are of the opinion that he did not waken during the proceeding.  Upon arriving in the city Lenard and Wyznak told the station men of the happening.  Agent Carpenter, who was at his home, was summoned and he, Watchman Lindgren, Officer Smith, Operator Knight and the two companions got aboard a hand car and went back over the road for the body.  They found it lying still beside the rails.  Life was apparently extinct but upon a closer examination it was found that the man lived.  He was put aboard the car and brought to town, a cot being prepared for him in the ment's waiting room at the station.  Dr. Meyer was called and examined the man.  There were no cuts but the physician said there was a serious injury of the brain which meant death, it being his opinion that there was a hemorrhage in the brain.  The man occupied a position in the station until Sunday morning when Trustee Kelling caused his removal to the county asylum. Claim Agent Davidson, of the Lake Shore, was in town yesterday morning and has the facts in hand.  He says there can be no claim against the company for damages owing to the fact that the victim of the accident was stealing a ride.
Delinski lived at 532 South Arnold street, this city.   He was a base ball pitcher for the Stars and is said to have goneby the name of Robin."

He was also known as Robin Delinski.  Nickname referred to in his obituary.  He was also known as Buck Delinski.  His brother Michael also died in a train "accident" and in Micael's obituary, Frank is referred to as "Buck".  Aunt Honey notes say his first wife was "Honor".  They had one son who became a priest.  He later left priesthood and married, had 2 children.
