1 "Ona Kedanyte", my grandmother. I have an original baptizmal certificate of grandma which Reverend Father Butkus has translated into an official document
in English for me. It was thru him that I leared so much about the last names and
the spellings of the last names. For instance, my grandmother was baptized
Ona Kendanyte, but once she married, her name became Ona Kedanis. And, of
course, now living in the US Ona became Anna. Grandma took in boarders, and
she saved every penny!! All of her children got a good education and that is what she saved every penny for. Grandma is buried in Woodmere Cemetary, Detroit, MI., Lot #112, Section Oak Ridge. Grandma is also listed as Ona Maskialis in the Plat Book Records.
The death certificate lists grandma's parents as Father - Kedanyte Maskelias and Mother - Ann Levckaite. This is incorrect. Her Father was Ignas Kedanis and her Mother was Marijona Levickaite. Official documention from her birth certificate, Birth Register #214, yr 1883, Rudamina Roman Catholic Parish, Diocese of Vilkaviskis, Republic of Lithuania.

John Henry Bock and Daniel Komray formed the Draging Company which is still today owned and run by the Bock children. Daniel as being a painter, had developed a 'varnish' which everyone wanted to know his secret. The varnish had such a hard finish that Richie could not even chisel through it. Rich tried to duplicate it when he got older but could not. He thought it to be a substance called 'water glass' which you could purchase in any drug store or hardware store. He tried mixing the 'water glass' in the varnish, but could not find the proper dosage of each. It is close to the substance we know today as 'ployethelene'. Daniel took his secret to his grave. Komray, Daniel (I400183716847)
