Frank Borsody was married twice in Pennsylvania. His first wife was Rose Barson (Irene's mother):

I suspect Frank was from Osli, Sopron, Hungary, but can't prove it. There was a Theresa Borsody who got married in South Bend. She gives her parents as Blase Borsody and Veronica Barson and says she was from Osli. I think it likely that Frank and Blase were brothers and married two Barson sisters.

Rose died between 1902-1908.

Frank then married Caroline Takacs:

Frank and Caroline died in St. Joseph County.

I find Andrew Alasko in the 1930 census in Pennsylvania. He has World War I and WWII draft cards in Pennsylvania. There's a family tree on ancestry.com that shows him living as recently as the 1950's, but no death info.
