  General Notes:

buried at Mt. Olivet-Saginaw-sec I- 370
From family notes of Aunt Shirley (Wazny) Knowlton
Grandpa married previously-first wife died in childbirth?
1. had 2 boys and 1 girl with 1st wife - Have no proof of this
Can't make out which ones of these are w/1st wife and which were Magdelina's by 1st husband
(Looking at Magelina's birth date and the day she married Joseph it is unlikely that she was married before)
Michael died Black Plague
Walter died Black Plague
Martin (Detroit) died at 35 yrs. old-killed-was 3 yrs old when came to US. So was born about 1880. died about 1915.
Victoria died of polio (Found this one and she died of Diptheria and was dau. of Joseph and Magdelena b. in Michigan)
Verna
Agnus or Angus? Agnes

Going by Joseph's obituary the above children were not by previous marriage but Joseph and Magdelina's and all died in Poland but for Martin. Martin would have been born in 1880 but is not listed in obituary, as Victoria was not.
