Burial was in Saint Casimir Catholic Cemetery, Chicago, with Anthony M. Phillips, funeral director, in charge of arrangements.
Mr. Adomavitch was born February 1, 1884, in Kermai, Russia (some sources state Lithuania, or Russia Poland), to William and Nellie (Gersiva) Adomavitch. He arrived in the United States of America, on January 26, 1898. He was naturalized on May 9, 1910, at the Circuit Court of Grundy County, Morris, Illinois, at which time he was a resident of Braceville, Grundy County, Illinois.
Mr. Adomavitch, age 24, a coal miner of Braceville, married Margaret “Maggie” Onkalunas, age 20, also of Braceville, on September 2, 1907, in Coal City, Grundy County, Illinois. The marriage service was performed by Rev. John M. Bowen, a Catholic priest, and was witnessed by George Skerkus and Agatha Brooks. Miss Onkalunas was born in Smalichenos, Russia, to Charles and Eva (Lechilov) Onkalunas.
The Adomavitch Family resided in several Illinois locations, including Braceville, in Grundy County, Cedar Point, in La Salle County, Granville, in Putnam County, and Chicago, in Cook County. Mr. Adomavitch was occupied as a Coal Miner and was likely to have worked in mines at the three former locations. He was later employed as a Janitor, likely in Chicago, as that occupation was noted on his death record in that city.
