Halina said that she was adopted by her relatives (Wladyslaw Gawlinski born November 25, 1881 & Marya Dylinska born December 17, 1885) after her natural parents (Antonius Rzesniowiecki & Maria Gawlinski) passed away due to the flu epidemic. She was never told who they were. Her oldest sister who was 18 yrs old, kept the family together.

They lived in Lwow, which now in the center of L'viv, Ukraine. Her address was Lyczakowska 66. Her stepfather (Wladyslaw Gawlinski) taught & worked near Lyczowak? Park Lyczakwski.

Wladyslaw Gawlinski built mausoleums (in cemetery section of those who fought), for Baczewski whose company made liquor.

Michaloj Gawlinski sponsored his cousin Wladyslaw Gawlinski to come to the US.

Wladyslaw Gawlinski came to the United States to study modern stone carving, (with powered tools) in 1923. He stayed here 6 yrs because he expected a war, and wanted US citizenship. He was naturalized about 1928.

Wladyslaw Gawlinski planned to go back to Poland after he became a US citizen which took about 5 years.

Halina remembers traveling to Warsaw with her stepmother (Marya Dylinska) and her stepmother's brother to get a visa.

Halina came over with her mother in 1929 when she was 9 or 10 years old on a Cunard Ship to visit her father & relatives. She had to leave her dog, Christina, behind and was very upset. They planned to go back to Poland later in 1929. They never went back because the banks were frozen here, and they couldn't get their money out.

Wladyslaw Gawlinski’s father re-married on his 3rd birthday. He said that his stepmother was hard on him because he was not her son.

Wladyslaw Gawlinski was encouraged as a youth by a priest to apprentice as a cabinetmaker because he had a penchant for carving and drawing. He received his formal education in Poland and abroad. Public Monuments he sculpted still stand in Poland. He taught art and worked commercially for Ted Stein and Sons in Chicago were he settled. He specialized in stone sculpture for churches. "The Lamb" executed in stone for the entrance of St. Francis Xavier Church in Chicago is a major work.

Wladyslaw Gawlinski spoke once about how hard it was to personally re bury someone you love, his natural mother, and hold their bones in your hands. He did it because he couldn't get anyone else to do it for him. She saw the monument, since she went to Obertyn a lot.

Wladyslaw Gawlinski fought in WW I and had his hearing damaged when a nearby tank exploded.


Halina remembers Wladyslaw Gawlinski and his cousin Antoni Gawlinski (Stanley A. Koy’s grandfather) talking about how they loved Obertyn.

Wladyslaw Gawlinski moved to Pasadena, CA in 1959, where he was active in art until his death in 1973.
