Stanislaw Kaminski

Stanislaw Kaminski 

[In the 1917 Cleveland City Directory, there were three listings for Stanislaw Kaminski at different addresses: W. 10th, Harvard, and Starkweather. The Stanislaw Kaminski profiled below died in WWI. His only connection to Cleveland appeared to be via his uncle, who was listed as the emergency contact on the deployment record on ancestry.com and on the WWI burial card on fold3.com. Research was impeded by the prevalence of the name Stanislaw Kaminski.]
