INDEX

[N8622] I went to St. Joseph Valley Memorial Park in Granger Indiana and found Grandpa's grave. It reads as follows Philip Szczypiorski Sr. 1894-1957.

On the left of his grave is another that reads Jerry Szczypiorski 1906-1958, I don't know who that is.

On the right side of Grandpa's grave is the following:
Felix A 1883-1958 and Anna 1887-1968 together forever. Last name is also Szczypiorski, I don't know who they are either.

Anyway Grandpa's son my Dad, Philip changed his last name to Mitchell (his step-dad's name) just before he married my mother, Alice Elaine Huff. I am not sure why he changed is name. They were married 01-28-1958 and I (Pamela Ann Mitchell) was born 12-15-1958. On 08-19-1960 they had a second girl, my sister Tamera Ann Mitchell.

I have one son John Roger Moore born 08-12-1985, form my first marriage. My second and current husband Roger, adopted John when we got married on 07-12-1992.

My sister Tamera married Bernard Paul Ragan on 08-30-1985. They have 2 sons, Daniel Paul born 11-16-1993 who has Down Syndrome and Bryan born 03-31-1996 I think. Can't remember right now if year is right.

Dad was married before he married mom to a lady named Jan and they had a daughter named Linda. I don't know any other information about her. The last time I was her I was only about 10 years old.

Hope this information helps. Let you know if you know who the other people are on either side of Grandpa's grave are please.
