I Polish-Born Pair in 50th Wedding By a Staff Writer EWING—Life stories of both Mr. and Mrs. Stanley Chmiel be gan in Poland. Sunday, July 27, they were hon ared when members their immed iate families and 107 guests gath ered at an open-house affair to help the couple note their 50th wedding anniversary'. All of their children were present except one Roman, who lives at Coughill, i □re. . | Mr. Chmiel, 74, was born April 18, 1884, at Nisko, Poland, during a period in which that section of Poland was under the heel of Austrians militarists. Confronted with compulsory military duty, Mr. Chmiel—like thousands of athcr central Europeans—took off :or America. He came alone. Mrs. Chmiel is now 67. Her maiden name was Jennie Zal> raw'ski. She was bom January 26. 1891, at Turek. Poland. As a girl of 12 she accompanied her par cnts, Joseph and Francisca Zab rowski, to the United States. The Zabrowskis spent a short time in Chicago, 111 , and then headed for a homestead south of Inman. Mr. Chmiel who worked for a time in Chicago, came to Nebras ka with a purpose: To wed Jen nie. Jennie's father arranged for a Polish-speaking priest from South Omaha to come to the Stafford Catholic mission to perform the nuptials on July 27, 1908. The priest’s name was Rev. Ladeslaus Czeck. 3 Born in Chicago The couple went to Chicago where Mr. Chmiel had worked earlier as a stonebreaker and as a railroader. For five years the couple lived in Chicago, three children were born there (Eugene, Roman and Cecelia), and Mr. Chmiel worked for Pittsburg Plate & Glass company in the manufacturing of mirrors. A half-dozen mirrors at the Chmiel home, midway between Ewing and Chambers, are evi dence of his craft of a half-cen tury ago. Mr. Chmiel pondered the prob lem when he saw older men be ing layed off work in industrial centers such as Chicago. He made up his mind he would head for Nebraska where land was avail able. Cecilia died of whooping cough shortly after coming to Nebraska. Other children were born. The family lived on the socalled Trail ranch for two years and then Used 26 years on the Spring field place, south of the present 1,000-acre Chmiel layout. The present farm-ranch was purchased in 1941. Sunday's celebration began with a family dinner. Open-house was observed during the afternoon. Squares of ice cream with “50” in raised lettering were served with assorted cookies, nuts, mints, and coffee. The six-layer anniversary cake was baked and decorated by their daughters, Mrs. A. L. (Fe leciat Horn and Mrs. James (Hat tie i Feighny. The house was decorated with bouquets of garden flowers and a large basket of yellow roses and gladiolus sent from Oregon by their son, Roman. Mrs. Chmiel wore a blue dress with yebow crysanthemum cor sage. Mr. Chmiel’s bouttonniere was a yellow mum. The couple received congratula tory greetings from many friends and relatives. For many years Mr. Chmiel and his “fiddle” were favorites at barn dances and neighborhood parties. The Chmiels attend church at both St. Patrick’s in O'Neill and St. Peter's church in Ewing. They consider themselves democrats politically, but Mr. Chmiel does n't see much distinction in the parties today. He says he has a feeling that agricultural and industrial units are getting bigger and small oper ators are getting smaller. “Young folks today want things too nice to start off with. Credit is too easy for them. Don’t see how some of hem will ever work how some of them will ever work out of debt,” he observed. Mr. Chmiel has a brother in Poland. "We send clothing and things he needs, but nowadays we hear from him very seldom. My brother missed his chance to get out and he’s sorry about it now.” Mr. Chmiel, who doesn’t know the meaning of gray hair, has no desire to revisit Poland. 'It’s not the same,” he sighed. Their children are: Eugene and Mrs. A. L. (Felecia; Horn, both of Grand Island; Roman of Coughill, Ore.; Mrs. James (Hattie) Feigh ny of Julesburg, Colo.; Alexander of Granada Hills, Calif., and Carl of Ewing. The Chmiels’ sons served in the U. S. military during World War H. Relatives from a distance at the celebration were: Mr. and Mrs. Gene Chmiel, Mr. and Mrs. A. L.
