Lillian Krzykowski was born March 24, 1894, Leo, April 7, 1893. They grew up together, both attending school at St. Hyacinth's and the James Monroe school. All through school they were playmates until their friendship blossomed into love. They were married Aug. 19, 1914, at St. Hyacinth's church with the Rev. Fr. Szcipta officiating. The best man for the wedding was •Joseph Ossowski, now deceased. The maid of honor was Agnes Jaroseiewski, who later became the bride of Joseph Ossowski. Agnes now resides in Chicago and is a frequent visitor in the Highlands with the Orlowskis. The ot-hor attendants were Max Orlowski, Leo's brother, now deceased, Pauline Blazek, Tony Sczerbiski and Julia Blazek, who still reside in Chicago. The flower girl was Mae Kjtrusch, Leo's sister, who resides in Nakoosa, Wis., with her husband and family After, the wedding a big home reception was held, which true to Polish tradition lasted three days. Leo and Lillian moved into their own home. They were blessed with two children, a son, Richard, who was born Sept. 26, 1917. Richie and his wife, Dorothy, share their home with his parents in the Highlands A daughter, Florence, was born March 9, 1919, and died October 27, 1941, at the age of 22. Leo and Lil have no grandchildren. Their son and wife will be celebrating their silver wedding anniversary May 4, 1965. Before Leo and Lillian were married they were members of the St. Hyacinth's choir with Brother Adelbert organist. Lil still belongs to the Blessed Virgin Sodality and the Altar and Rosary Society of Saint Hyacinth's. She is also a member of the Auxiliary of the American Legion, Lake Region Unit 703, of which her son is the outgoing Commander. Leo is a member of the Men Foresters, St. Hyacinth's Court 1197. He served terms of secretary and treasurer of5the society. and enjoys his night out with the boys. Leo and Lillian have lived in the Highlands for six years and have made many friends and they attend St. John's church in Johnsburg. They will start their golden wedding anniversary celebration with a Mass at 10 a.m. at St. John's, Aug. 19, and they sincerely hope many of their friends will join them at the Mass. Lil's sister, Nettie, and her niece, Delores Flynn, of Trevor, Wis. and Leo's sister, Mae Kitrusch will be on hand for the Mass. Saturday, Aug. 22, their son and wife will hold open house for them from 2 p.m. For all their friends and neighbors. Leo retired from Skil-Saw company July, 1958, and he still holds his state barber's license. Lil's hobbies are making a home for Leo and her son and wife « u and crocheting. The many beautiful items she turns out are really something to see, she also loves making novelties. Leo's hobbies are fishing, civic duties and his work in our community will stand as an inspiration for many of us. He did most of the work, remodeling the Thelen barn into a beautiful community center for the Highlands. He is an avid worker for the community and the Johnsburg Rescud Squad. His many acts of kindness have been a comfort to many in the Highlands. Leo is enjoying perfect health and is very active and alert and Lil is doing fine, but must take things easy due to a heart condition. These two wonderful people are loved in the Highlands, and I am proud to call them my second parents, Leo is my constant companion, and Wally and I really enjoy his popping in on us. I can only wish them all of God's richest blessings and heath to enjoy a few more years with us. On their big day I will be proud and honored to share it with them. All the neighbors and their host of friends join me in wishing them the happiest day they ever had. I met the Orlowskis in September, 1959, when Lil and I were roommates in McHenry hospital and we have been more than friends since then. Leo enjoys taking the column in to the Plaindealer for me and visiting with the women in the office.
