Life

<lacurtisaol.com> writes:

Born in Prussia (now part of Germany), Albert Pieczonka married Nanie, aged 14, also of Prussia, in 1850. They emigrated to the US in 1882, settling in Manhattan. They had eight children, only two were still alive as of 1910. Source: the 1910 Census data in NY thru Ancestry.com.

Actually they arrived in NY on September 9, 1880 on the ship "The Queen" accompanied by 3 of their daughters including Helen and Emily. Source: passenger list thru Ancestry.com

His daughter Emily died in an accident in 1915, here’s the newspaper article.

His wife died in 1916, here’s the obituary.

Found sheet music for another three Pieczonka pieces (search here): Serenade, published in 1881 in NY; Perpetuum Mobile, Valse grand etude de perfectione, published in 1900 in NY; Prire, Grand Etude, published in 1882 in NY.
