Mrs. Lesik had been in failing health the past several months, suffering a stroke, and had been hospitalized at Stanley for two months prior to her passing away. Born Dec. 22, 1898 at Pittsburgh, Pa., she received her schooling there and later at Lublin. On Sept. 15, 1916 she and the late Rev. Michael Lesik were united in marriage in a ceremony performed in Chicago. He preceded her in death, passing away in 1950. Since that time she had lived in Detroit where she was employed in a department store until coming here two years ago to make her home with her sister and brother-in-law, Mr. and Mrs. John Lesneski of rural Withee (Clark Co., Wis.).

In addition to her sister, Mrs. Lesneski, she is survived by two grandchildren. One son, Edward, also preceded her in death, passing away in 1944.
