Biography

Died 24 September 1965. Auburn, Cayuga, New York. Cause: Pulmonary embolism.

Buried 27 September 1965. Saint Joseph's Cemetery, Auburn, New York.

Note: Social Security lists her date of birth as 5 January 1891. One possible issue is that supposedly Stella was born or baptized 1 May 1891, two or three years before she was born. 2 Judy Powers has the marriage transcript - Married 17 April 1915 - Yakym is listed as 22 years old and Stella is listed as 20 years old. 2 Judy was also told that Stella used her sister's name to immigrate to the U.S.; which might account for the discrepancies in dates of birth and baptism. 2 The petition for Naturalization lists her date of bith as 8 December 1893 in Pantke, Poland. 2 Her certificate of arrival lists her name as ULKA TARBAJ. 3 Marriage Husband @I7@.
