Notes
Birth
Most sources appear to point to an early 1840 birthdate, including the ship's manifests which would probably be provided by Jan himself. However his gravestone says 1831. The original receipt for the gravestone is dated 1914, which would indicate his wife and daughters were involved in the purchase. Not sure why there is a 10 year discrepancy.Birth
1900 U.S. Census states he was born in Jan 1840 in "Poland Aus". The cemetery plot deed lists his burial as 1905 and said he was 65 years old, which supports an 1840 birthdate. His interment entry in the St. Michael's records state he was 64 years and 4 months old, supporting a Sep 1840 birth.Birth
His death certificate says he was 64 years, 4 months, and 13 days old when he died. Since he died on 18 Jan 1905, that would place his birth on 5 Oct 1840.Birth
Both ship manifests support an 1842 birth with no birth location. His entry in the death index indicates about 1841 in Austria.Marriage
1900 U.S. Census states they were married 35 years. Terry Mascecnic notes indicate two sons died on the way over, my family stories state one. The Hamburg departure list has a son (Stanislaus) that is not on the arrival list, so I am assuming that a single son died on the way over.Residence
His 1905 death certificate says he lived in Chicago 36 years. This is unlikely since the immigration record indicates an 1873 arrival to the United States.Immigration
1900 US Census reports he immigrated in 1871 and was a naturalized citizen. It appears slightly off based on ship records which likely contain this family.Census (family)
1900 Census Entry for John Kruppa: Address: 8323 Superior Ave #3-C, Chicago, IL Head of Household Color: W Sex: M Birthdate: Jan 1840 Age: 60 Marital Status: M # Years Married: 35 Birthplaces: John: Poland Aus Father: Poland Aus Mother: Poland Aus Year of Immigration: 1871 # Years in U.S.: 29 Naturalized: Yes Occupation: Home Can Read: N Can Write: N Speaks English: N Owned or Rented: O Owned Free of Mortgage: F Farm or House : HResidence (family)
According to the 1900 US Census, John Krupa owned this house free of any mortgage.Death
He does not appear in the 1910 US Census so he was likely dead before then. The Illinois death index indicates he died 17 Jan 1905 in Chicago. His gravestone receipt (purchased in 1914) indicates 18 Jan 1905. The St. Michael's records state 18 Jan 1905. His death certificate says he died 18 Jan 1905 at home (8323 Superior Ave).Burial
The deed to the burial plots indicates Lot 31, Block D, St. Michael Section. The interment record from St. Michael's and the death certificate confirms.Endnotes
