Need memorabilia / photos / stories

I am looking for memorabilia, photos and stories on some resturants that my dad, Robert Fierek and his wife, Kay either owned and or worked at in the 70's.

The 1976 and 1977 directories show that Robert and Kiyoko Fierek owned a place called "Bob and Kay's Cafe" at 201 3rd Street, in Wausau, Wisconsin, USA. This is the area where the Wausau Center Mall is now.

Other places of interest are: "The Pine Restaurant" (which is also gone).
And "The Hoffman House" which is still in The Best Western hotel in Rib Mountain, Wisconsin, USA.

Robert and Kiyoko Fierek were better known as Bob and Kay Fierek.
I am looking for photos of Bob and Kay. Photos of the cafe's / resturants.
Copies of menu's / copies of advertising for the business with Bobs and Kay's name in the ad.
Any other memorabilia or stories relating to when they owned or worked at those's places.
If they worked any where else I am also interested in that information as well.
Thanks

PERGOLSKI Anton 1892 (1964?) (SZYMANSKI) Mystery


I came across a newspaper article and it sure confuses me.

I thought my Great grand father was Anton Pergolski and yet the article seems to have his name as Anton Szymanski. I hope someone can give me more infomation as to why that is. And who is Agnes B? Is she a 2nd wife? I have him married to Virginia Gwidt on 15 Dec 1913 in Wausau Wisconsin. As far as I know, they did have 4 children. Adeline Pergoski (married Frank Fierek), Edwin Pergolski, Raymond Pergolski and Leonard Pergolski.


Please contact me if you have any photos or information to share on Anton, Virginia and thier family.

PERGOLSKI Adeline M. 1914 1995 query & photo

I am looking for photos and stories about Adeline and her family. (Anyone in her family, parents, siblings, children, cousins, inlaws ect.)


I need a copy of her obituary. I also need obituaries for her husbands and photos of their graves.


I am missing information on her 2nd husband. His first name and their date and place of marriage.


What I do have is:


Adeline is the daughter of Anton Pergolski (born 1892 died ?) and Virginia Gwidt (born 1862 died 1934). Adeline had 3 brothers, Edwin (born 1915 died 1970), Raymond (born 1918 died 1956) and Leonard (born 1920 died 1978).



She married Frank E. Fierek (born 1916 died 1998). Frank and Adeline were married 22 June 1936 in Wausau Wisconsin. I am not sure when they divorced. Later on she married Mr. Jaski.


Frank and Adeline had 4 children. Virginia, Willima and Tina, who are still living. And my dad, Robert who died in 1992.

Adeline worked as a sales lady and she also worked in a hotel kitchen.

She lived in Wausau Wisconsin most of her life.
