Andrew's death certificate uses the spelling Kasmarik, living at 2426 Latrobe Street in Liberty Boro. Mary L. Metzler, living with him, says he was born in Czechoslavakia on Aug 15, 1881, last birthday he was 84. Mother's name was Elizabeth Karap, father was Andrew Kasmarik. He died from a fracture of the skull, cerebral edema, urinary infection, fall down the stairs on Sept 26th. Says place of injury was St. Nicholas Church (though I think Aunt Margie said it was at his home). Buried at St. Nicholas Cemetery in North Versailles on November 10, 1965.
From surname book under Kasmarik:
Kretschman-German inkeeper, from MHG Kretscham inn. The word is of Slav origin (cf. Cech Kroma inn, drcmar inkeeper; Pol ka(r)czma, ka(r)czmarz Dims.: Pol.: Ka(r)czmarek. Kaszmarek is also the name of a place in the Kujawy district near Sandomeirz. (or Sandomurz-can't read spelling)
Krcmarik & Kracmarik are Czech
Kaczmarek is Polish and means son of the bartender
