Notes for FATHER JOHN S HOSINSKI:
Surnames in this biography are: HOSINSKI, Kowalski, Piechorowski, Gorka,
Siroczynski,

REV. JOHN S. HOSINSKI has labored with indefatigable zeal and joy among
several Polish Catholic parishes in Northern Indiana. He is the well-loved
pastor of St. Casimirs Parish at Hammond. He was born at South Bend,
Indiana, June 23, 1890. His father, Anthony Hosinski, was one of the
pioneers of the Polish race in South Bend. He was born in Bydgoszcz, Poland,
attended school there and came to America at the age of seventeen, in 1867. Only, a few people of his race had located in South Bend when he went there. For
many years he carried on a successful contracting business, retiring at the
age of seventy-five, and he died March 11, 1928. He and his wife are buried in
the Cedar Grove Cemetery at South Bend. Anthony Hosinski was a man generous in behalf of church and community and contributed to the establishment of all four of the Polish Catholic churches in South Bend He married Roselle Kowalski, who was brought to America at the age of thirteen by her parents, who also located at South Bend, where her father died shortly afterward. Mrs. Roselle Hosinski died April 27, 1928. She and her husband had celebrated their golden wedding anniversary in 1923.

Of their twelve children three died in infancy, and Nicholas died at South Bend in October, 1930. The living children are: Sister Sewerina, a Sister of the Holy Cross Order, now
principals of St. Hedwigs High School at South Bend. Mrs. Stella
Piechorowski, of South Bend Johanna Gorka, of South Bend; Mrs. Leocadia
Piechorowski, of South Bend; Joseph, assistant postmaster at Cicero,
Illinois; William, police captain at South Bend; and Rev. John
Stanislaus.

John Stanislaus Hosinski attended St. Hodwigs parochial school in South
Bend, graduated from Notre Dame University in the high school or
preparatory department, and in 1914 completed the work of the Polish Seminary at Orchard Lake, Michigan. He was ordained June 27, 1914, by Bishop Allerding of the Diocese of Fort Wayne. His first assignment was as assistant pastor of
St. Casimirs Parish at Hammond. In 1916 he was transferred for missionary
duty to Northern Wisconsin, where he labored until April, 1919. At that date
he took charge of St. John Cantius Church at Rolling Prairie, Indiana, in
July 1925, was made pastor of St. Hyacinths Church at Fort Wayne, and in
1927, on the resignation of Father Siroczynski, succeeded to the pastorate of St.
Casimirs Parish at Hammond, whose members gave a loyal welcome to the
priest who had endeared himself to the parishioners years before. His first
important labor was to carry on the half completed work of constructing
the beautiful church building, which is a splendid example of the pure Gothic
architecture. The church was completed in 1929, at a total cost of
$177,000.

Father Hosinski has also during his administration built the parochial
school, Parish Hall and Young Mens Club, at an additional cost of
$85,000. He is a priest who is very much alive to the interests of his community.
He is a member of the Hammond Chamber of Commerce, is an honorary member of the Woodmar and Lake Hills Country Clubs and is independent in politics. His
hobby is encouraging athletics and wholesome sports among his church
people. He is very proud of the parish baseball, basketball, football and bowling
teams.

Notes for HELEN DOLORES HOSINSKI:
Newspaper Article South Bend Tribune October 29, 2000

The only person who could tell Father Hesburgh to get a haircut was buried the othe day in Highland Cemetery!

"Helen was the quintessential gatekeeper in an office often besieged with request from on behalf of  the  worldwide responsibilites of its occupants. In a day when "Assistants to the President" are omnipresent in the corridors of American academe, Helen did the work of half a dozen without the title. New staff had a probationary period with Helen, mine was about two years, during which your judgement particularly as to need for Father Hessburgh, was met with seasoned Skepticism"

     PATROLMAN IS DEAD OF COLD CAUGHT AT GAME

     Frank Piechorowski Loses Fight for Life After Extended Illness.

     IN DEPARTMENT SINCE 1921

     Police Headquarters Draped in Mourning; Arrangements for Funeral Incomplete.

     After a game fight of more than a month for his life, Patrolman Frank Piechorowski, age 38, of 1807 West Washington Avenue, died at 12:35 this morning at St. Joseph's hospital of complication developing from a cold contracted more than a month ago.
     Death of the officer, while believed inevitable by his attending physicians, came with startling suddenness.  He was conscious almost to the end and but a few minutes before he expired he complained again of the severe pains about the region of his ailing heart.  During the night prior to his death he had been exceedingly restless and failed to respond to drugs administered to ease his suffering.
     The policeman's valiant, but futile struggle for life for the past few weeks was succession of improvements and relapse or complications. Just when he seemed to be successfully passing a crisis of overcoming one infection another would develop to retard his progress.  His illness originated with a cold when had its inception about the middle of November.

Notes for JOSEPHINE MARIA PIECHOROWSKI MEERS:
Obituary: Josephine Meers
July 9, 1917 -- Oct. 19, 2004

Josephine Marie Meers, 87, was born on July 9, 1917, in South Bend, Ind., and died on Oct. 19, 2004, in San Francisco, Calif.
Josephine graduated from Central High School in South Bend and received a B.A. degree in 1956 from Indiana University. She earned a master's degree in psychology in 1961 from George Washington University, and was elected to the Honorary Psychology Society, Psi Chi. Her father, Frank Piechorowski, a police officer, died when Josephine was 11 years old. Her mother, Laura Hosinki Piechorowski, died when Josephine was 16, leaving Josephine and three brothers with Aunt Helen, who became their legal guardian. Josephine enlisted in the United States Marine Corps and completed boot camp at Paris Island. She began active service in May 1945, and was stationed in Guam where she worked in personnel. She was honorably discharged with the rank of sergeant and served in the USMC Reserve to June 1953. Josephine worked for the Department of Labor in Washington, D.C., and relocated to San Francisco in 1970. She retired from the Manpower Administration as Supervisory State Personnel Management Advisor in 1974. Her professional career was exemplary, resulting in recognition and honors from her department. Josephine was a devoted worldwide traveler, curious and respectful of the cultures she visited, and she encouraged everyone to see the world. To know Josephine was to know her love of the arts and her support of many organizations: the Sierra Club, the Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco, the San Francisco Opera, Symphony, Ballet and Public Library. Her interest in many theatre groups and her countless classes at the University of San Francisco made her a remarkable woman of any time. Her love of her church was the touchstone of her life. She was a parishioner of St. Brigid's and a loyal supporter of St. Mary's Cathedral. Josephine's independent spirit was an inspiring quality, and her compassion, generosity and positive attitude touched everyone fortunate enough to share her life.Her parents, Frank and Laura Piechorowski, guardian, Aunt Helen Meers, her cherished brothers, Frank, Henry and James Meers, and her beloved as a sister, Helen Marie Meers Timm, preceded her in death. Her love and respect for her late aunt, Helen Meers, is well-known to family and friends. Josephine was a caring sister-in-law to Nancy Meers, South Bend, Ind., Esther Meers, Anaheim, Calif., and Mary Alice Meers, Dearborn, Mich.She was a treasured aunt to her nieces and nephews and their family as well: Jean B. Grattan of Tampa, Fla., Susanne Kisner of Albuquerque, N.M.; James Meers of Dearborn, Mich., Frederick Meers of St. Clair Shores, Mich., Michael Meers of Granite Bay, Calif., Bill Meers of Fountain Valley, Calif., Laura Meers of South Bend, Ind., Kathy Kent of Folsom, Calif., Timothy Meers of Niles, Mich., and Lisa Augello of Naperville, Ill. The family of Helen Marie and Jerome Timm was always close to her heart: Anne Rimkus of Chantilly, Va., Christopher Timm of Galena, Ohio, Edward Timm of Grover, Mo., Carol Tormey of Chicago, Ill., and Mary Haynes of Columbus, Mont. A continuing joy in her life was the companionship of her cousins, the Hosinki, Ball, McMinn and Hambidge families.A memorial Mass for Josephine will be held on Saturday, Nov. 6, at The Sequoias, 1400 Geary Blvd., San Francisco, at 4 p.m. A reception will immediately follow.In lieu of flowers, remembrances can be made to St. Mary's Cathedral, 111 Gough Street, San Francisco, CA 94105; or to the San Francisco Ballet, 455 Franklin St., San Francisco, CA 94102. Inquires may be directed to Mike Meers, (916) 791-7703.s, (916) 791-7703.

Notes for HELEN HOSINSKI:
Source:  Ann Timm Rimkus, Chantilly, VA   20151-2450. The oldest daughter of Jerome Joseph Timm and Helen Marie Meers Timm.  Thus, her maternal grandmother was Helen Hosinski Meers. Dec 2004

Aunt Laura Hosinski Piechorowski's picture looks just like her sister, our Grandma Meers.  I also recognize it from a several of the Hosinski family photos our mom had hanging in our home.  I have a HUGE photo with our mother and grandmother, taken shortly after our grandfather was killed.  In that photo, Grandma looks just like Aunt Laurie in this picture.  Our grandmother always told me that she had it taken, because she wanted to make sure she had at least one good photo of the two of them in case something happened to our mom.  Our grandmother suffered a lot of loss in her young life.  She was engaged to someone before our grandfather-all I know is that his name was Steve but he drowned a short time before they were to be married.  When our grandfather was killed after only 17 months of marriage, our grandmother said she felt jinxed and would never get involved with anyone again.  Our Aunt Jo used to tell me stories about the men that would come around and ask our grandma to dinner.  She had a car and a job, which in those days was a really big deal, but Aunt Jo said she always said "No!"

I remember my grandmother always telling me it was very easy to remember her anniversary, 5-5-25, since 5 times 5 is 25.  They indeed had just one daughter, our mother, Helen Marie Meers, born January 29, 1926.  Again, my grandma always told me that my  mom was conceived on her wedding night, and she was very glad for that since my grandfather lived for less than 9 months of my mother's life.

Notes for VICTOR CHMIELEWSKI MEERS:
Victor Chmielewski Ran away to join the Navy in WW1 and was underage. His false identification bore the name "Meers" and it stuck for his lifetime. He was trained in the navy as an electrician mate and Joined I& M Electric after the war.

He was electrocuted in 1926 when his body came in contact with a 37000-volt line.

In 1936 his wife Helen Hosinski Meers will adopt the children of Frank and Laura Piechorowski and change thier name to "Meers". Her act of kindness kept this family of Orphan children together but ended the male line of the Piechorowski family originally decended from Joseph Piechorowski, brother of Jan, son of Andrew and Josepha Tzebratowska.

Our grandfather, Victor Chmielewski Meers, was originally interred in Cedar Grove Cemetary as you report.  However, in 1964, after my parents bought plots at Swan Lake Memorial Gardens, my grandma decided she wanted to be buried next to my mom.  Thus, she bought the two plots next to my parents and had my grandfather's body moved there.  My mother died August 29, 2003, and is buried next to her mother.

Craig grew up farming with his family outside Montmorenci, Indiana. After graduating from Purdue in 1938, he went on to work for Oliver Plow in South Bend and then moved to the Bendix Corporation. My parents met at Bendix where my mother was a nurse. The family story... my father saw my mother come into the plant one day and was sure after that he had "something in his eye".  So  my mother dutifully examined his eyes. The rest is history.

William A. Hosinski, 83, departed this life on Sunday, Dec. 22, while vacationing with family in Sharon, Conn.

Mr. Hosinski was born Nov. 28, 1919, in South Bend, Ind., the son of William J. and Hattie H. Hosinski.

Also surviving are 16 grandchildren and four great-grandchildren, and his sister, Marjorie Hosinski Hamel of Chicago, Ill.

He then attended the University of Notre Dame, receiving his bachelor of science in accounting in 1940 and his law degree in 1942. Upon graduation from the law school he immediately entered into active duty in the United State Army Air Corps. On April 11, 1944, in Winthrop, Mass., he married United States Naval Ensign Martha L.

SOUTH BEND TRIB 12-27-2002

Retired St. Joseph Superior Court Judge William A. Hosinski will be remembered as an honest and ethical jurist who was considered "firm but fair" by those who appeared before him.

After 27 years of practicing law, he was elected a Superior Court judge in 1972 and served 14 years until retiring.

"He was organized and orderly and efficient as a judge," said South Bend attorney George Herendeen, a longtime friend and colleague. "He had particularly good common sense and was respected. He did a good job in his tenure."

Herendeen, a former South Bend City Court judge, said Hosinski would sit pro tem for him during his term from 1968-1972, before Hosinski was elected to the bench.

"He was one of the guys who put a robe on and did not change. He respected his position and did not let it go to his head," added Herendeen.

As a member of the transition committee for Prosecutor-elect Michael Dvorak, Herendeen, the committee's chairman, said Hosinski was at Herendeen's office several times in recent weeks.

Hosinski joked about being the oldest one there, Herendeen said, "He was proud of the fact he was an octogenarian and still healthy and active."

Prosecutor-elect Michael Dvorak recalled his last meeting with the judge and others on his transition committee to discuss personnel recommendations they made for his new staff.

"I considered him a father figure in practicing law," Dvorak said.

As the meeting broke up, "he came up, tall and imposing, shook my hand and said to me, 'Be yourself,' " said Dvorak. "He was great. I take (his death) hard. It's a personal loss. He was a good friend, and on the bench, very well-respected."

St. Joseph Superior Court Judge Michael Scopelitis said Hosinski was the same on and off the bench. "He was as well-disciplined, honest, noble and caring in his public life as in his private life."

Hosinski, who administered the oath of office to Scopelitis when he became judge in 2000, was a strong influence on him and other lawyers who began practicing in the early 1970s.

"He possessed qualities that I admire in a judge and that I want to emulate, such as honesty, integrity and complete objectivity," Scopelitis said. "He did not let his personal feelings interfere with his rulings and ruled how he believed the law required based on the facts of the case."

Indiana Court of Appeals Judge Michael P. Barnes said, "He was a great guy and even greater jurist. When I was a young lawyer, he was instrumental in showing me how things should be done correctly."

Barnes, who served 20 years as St. Joseph County prosecutor, said a lot of people considered Hosinski a mentor.

At a 1987 dinner in Hosinski's honor when he retired, longtime friend and former Circuit Court Judge John Montgomery said, "I know him as honest and honorable, dedicated to the law and people striving to maintain traditions with future generations of lawyers. ... We're not apt to see the likes of him again."

By the time Judge Hosinski retired Jan. 1, 1987, he had been hanging around the St. Joseph County Courthouse some 50 years.

He left the bench 50 years to the day that his father, William J. "Big Bill" Hosinski, took office as St. Joseph County sheriff in 1937. But the legacy of public service continued as one of the judge's sons, John, served a term as a South Bend city councilman in the 1990s.
