Might anyone be able to locate and send me the obituaries for one of my maternal uncles and his wife?
My uncle was EDWARD JOSEPH LEWANDOWSKI, born 7 March 1924 (in Baltimore, MD), DIED 2 June 1968. I know that he died in the Veterans Administration Hospital, in Hampton.
His much older wife was VIRGINIA LEWANDOWSKI, born 23 October 1893, DIED 17 October 1971.
They're both buried in Hampton National Cemetery, in Hampton City, VA.
I don't know where, precisely, Eddie and Virginia had official residency set up at the times of their deaths, but do know it was in Virginia (and believe it was somewhere relatively near the hospital). I'm hoping that obituaries for each of them will appear in a Hampton City newspaper. If obituaries for them don't, might there perhaps be VA state-wide or county newspapers that could be checked?
I have no idea what Virginia's maiden name was, or if she'd been previously wed and had children from a prior marriage. (I got her dates info from a Find A Grave memorial, and don't know anything at all more about her.) She and my uncle never had children together. My understanding is that they married sometime within the ten or so years prior to Eddie's death.
Anyone who's able to help with their obituary look-ups, I will be most grateful.
Please e-mail me directly at
Genplant29@aol.com, and put something like "Lewandowski obituaries" in the Subject line of your message, so I'll know it isn't spam. Thanks!
Best regards,
Dave Wilson
