This is Jozsef Bartos who, with his Mother Anna Bartos, came to the U.S. on board The Slavonia, from Hungary to New York Port in 1904 when "Joe" was abt. 7. Anna would eventually marry Istvan Roykovich who was with them on this sea voyage. They settled in Passaic, NJ and also lived in Hazelton, PA. "Jozsef" became Joseph Roykovich and had half-siblings, Stephen, Carl, Bella, & Ida Roykovich. Sometime during 1911-1915, Joseph went out West. He returned to NJ as Joseph F. Farrell. This name change continues to be a mystery. He married circa 1916 Marie/Maria (she had 2 middle names--Anna Amelia) Neff. Their first son was Theodore b. circa 1917. Second son, Francis H. b. 1921.
Joseph worked in a celluloid factory and eventually got a job as brakeman on the Pennsylvania RR. Not long on the job and the first time he worked out on the coal wharves of Coln, PA, in the early hours of Oct. 16, 1921, Joseph was struck and killed by a passenger train. His body was returned to NJ and he's buried in Holy Sepulchre Cemetery in Newark/Orange NJ. His son Francis was only 6 months old and never knew his Father. At the time, the family was living in Newark. After her husband's death, Marie returned to Haskell, NJ to live with her Mother and Step-Father and her 2 sons. She did marry again and had a daughter Mary.
