Bartosik Family

17. March 2008 by admin.

I previously discovered that John’s sister was Elizabeth Bartosik. She was married to John Bartosik and they had five children according to the 1920 Census. Their names were John, Walter, Francis, Helen and Lewis. At this time they lived in Bloomington, IL. I can’t find them in the 1930 census, presumably another misspelling.

As of the 1910 census, they were living in Wenona Il and John worked in the coal mine. It appears that John had two brothers living with him at the time, Joe and Karl. They also worked for the mine. They lived on North 1st Street. (Name spelled Bartosek in Ancestry.com)  Although I can’t find the Senalik’s in Wenona on the 1910 census, I know they were there in 1911 because John F. was born there.

I believe that John Bartosik arrived in this country April 13, 1906 in New York. He left from Glasglow Scotland on the Astoria on March 31, 1906. His stated destination was Lexington, Mo. to meet up with a cousin named Kowalski.

Before John F. Senalik died, he went to visit a cousin in Bloomington, presumably one of the Bartosik girls. Unfortunately, the memory of her name at that time is lost.
