St. Mary's Catholic Cemetery
36th & Q Streets
Omaha, Douglas County, Nebraska
I visited St. Mary's Cemetery mid-May 2002 and again on Memorial Day
2002. While I went looking for specific gravesites, I also came across
stones with surnames in common with those I am researching.

Father John T. ZIEMBA 5 Sep 1888 - 20 Jan 1979 |

Serendipity.... I was visiting St. Mary's Cemetery to photograph the
stone of Eugene and Mary COPENHARVE. As I was wandering back to my car,
I browsed the names on the stones I was passing. The surname ZIEMBA
stood out for a couple of reasons: (1) One of my Aunts married a ZIEMBA,
and (2) in a round about way there was a John ZIEMBA connected to my
KUDRON family. It turns out that this John T. ZIEMBA is the one who
connects to my KUDRONs.
My Grandmother, Martha KUDRON GALUS, had an Aunt Anna KUDRON who married Louis SOKOL. Anna and Louis' son Anthony first married Cathrine KOLODZEY. Anthony and Cathrine later divorced. After the death of Anthony, Cathrine married widower John Thomas ZIEMBA. Cathrine died 13 Aug 1976 and is buried at Holy Sepulchre Cemetery in Omaha. John and Cathrine were not buried together and I figured John was probably buried next to his first wife. I had no idea where. Then I "accidentally" came across the ZIEMBA stone while researching another line. I have not made a connection between John ZIEMBA and the ZIEMBA family that my Aunt Laura married into.
