The Cisewski Family
Paul Cisewski and his wife, Elisabeth Cherek, were born at Brusy parish, Bydgoszcz, Poland. They had two daughters born in Poland. The oldest had died before they immigrated. On May 2, 1861, the family consisting of Paul, Elisabeth and their daughter, Apolonia, left from Hamburg, Germany, on the ship “Oden,” which set sail for Quebec. There is no further record of this daughter.
Also sailing on the same ship were Paul’s sister and brother and their families. Catharina Cisewska and her husband, Anton Lepak, also settled in Portage County. The brother, Franz Cisewski, and his wife and daughter apparently never came to Portage County.
The family arrived in Milwaukee in June 1861. They settled on a farm in the town of Sharon. Their children born in America were Mary (Joseph Wroblewski), John (Julia Glodowski) and Joseph who never married. Elisabeth died between 1870 and 1872, and Paul then married a widow, Mary Stroik Gilmeister, who was born in Lippuschutte, Poland. She had a son, Michael Gilmeister, who was born in Poland. Paul and Mary had a daughter, Frances (Frank Meronek). Mary died in 1898. Paul lived until 1906 when he died of heart disease.
Paul Cisewski must have cultivated friendship with the Indians. In the Polonia church baptismal records, Paul Cisewski is the god-father for Red Horn Dekori - Christian name, Joseph. He was an adult Indian, age 55, who was baptized on Nov. 1, 1876.
Paul Cisewski was a good role model. His son, John, was a successful farmer and also was a blacksmith. Paul and his wife sent their children to school as they could read and write.
Paul Cisewski had 44 grandchildren. Many of his descendants still live in Portage County.
