The photograph shows an overview of the Gainowski family plot. On the left side is the Joseph and Rosa Gainowski tombstone. And on the right side is their daughter Mary Lynch’s tombstone. Mary’s tombstone indicates 1885-1938. The 1938 date is correct, but she was born June 1884 and died 27 September 1938 at about age 54. Another daughter Lillian E. Rose was born Helena Gainowski in 1888. Lillian died 3 December 1970 at about age 82. Her gravestone indicates 1889-1970.
It should be noted that there were numerous variations of the spelling of Gainowski over the years and one variation Geinosky was used on their tombstone.
