Found the St. Joseph County, Indiana, marriage record of Frank Krusinski and Mary “Pekarska" on familysearch.org. The birth month and year in the 1900 census record of Mary Krusinski, w/o Frank Krusinski, match the date of birth on the grave marker of Maryanna Krusinski interred in Cedar Grove Cemetery, indicating that she most likely is the same person. The 1910 census indicates that she was no longer the wife of Frank, that he had married a second time. The date of death of "Mary Kruszynski" in the WPA, Indiana, Index of Death Records on familysearch.org, and of "Maria Krusinska” in the St. Casimer interment records are within one day of the date on her grave marker. The St. Casimer interment record indicates that she was the daughter of "Lucae" Piekarski. The 1900 census record indicates that Mary had had six children of whom four were living. Two of the children in the 1900 household were born after 1891 and two before. The two before, Julianna and Anna, are shown to have immigrated in the same year as is stated for both Frank and Mary, 1891. The passenger list of the ship “Bohemia" arriving in New York in 1891 includes Franz Krusinski, 28, his wife Marianne, 28, and daughters, Julianne 4, and baby Anna, all from Prussia. They had started from “Ngrimicz” [sp?]. Source: familysearch.org Frank’s 1910 census record indicates that his marriage to Rozalia three years before was his second marriage.

So the question remains whether the Marianne arriving with Frank in 1891 was Maryanna, nee Piekarski, and, for some reason, they remarried in this country, or did he actually marry three times. Daughter Anna appears to have died in 1912. No record was found of Julianna after 1900. So no St. Joseph County, IN, marriage application records found saying who their parents were.

Have sent an email to the Sisters of the Holy Family of Nazareth in hopes of learning which of the Krusinski daughters became Sr. M. Thadea. Could be Julianna, born ca. 1883, or Teresa, born ca. 1897.
