Xavier was a bricklayer by trade and he spoke 6 languages: German, Polish, English, Italian, Yiddish (German/Hebrew), and Kashube. His wife may have understood English, but to the day of her death she never spoke it. She spoke only Kashube, which is a German/Polish mixed dialect. She lived with Martha and Larry Kwasniewski until her death and for several years we saw them almost weekly and every New Year’s Eve to celebrate Aunt Martha’s birthday.” –Trudy Murphey Sources of Information Research provided by great great nephew Robert Darge's girlfriend Mary Benson Memory of great niece Trudy Murphey (Gertrude Darge) Leo Darga's Wedding Papers provided by granddaughter Terri Smith (Theresa Darge) 1900 U.S. Census (some birth dates are incorrect) 1910, 1920 and 930 Census Death Certificate provided by granddaughter Terri Smith (Theresa Darge) Informant of death on Death Certificate: Louisa Elizabeth Darga (wife) State of Michigan Certificate of Live Birth for Leo Darga provided by Alan Darge |
