Casimir Joseph Strzyzewski was my grandma's brother. He was born 11 Feb 1889 in Chicago and baptized 14 Feb 1889 at St. Stanislaus Kostka Church. Peter Strzyzewski & Marianna Wasko Pyterek were his parents. August Szczepanski and Antonina Wasko were his godparents.
He's living at home on the 1920 census, he’s age 32 and his occupation is a chauffer for a lumber company. I found his WW1 draft registration and on that he's a teamster chauffer. I questioned my mom's brother about him and was told the last time he saw him was at his own wedding in 1949. He also told me he thinks he changed his name to Charlie Smith or something like that. I know he was referred to as Uncle Charlie. I do not know if he ever married or not.
I found a Casimir Strzyzewski on the 1930 census where the age and occupation fit but I am not positive if this is he yet.
1519 N. Ashland Ave., Chicago
Henry Kujawa, 23, head, married age 18, born IL, parents born IL, chauffer truck industry.
Celia Kujawa, 21, wife, married age 17, born Wisconsin, parents born WI, clerk retail grocery.
Casimer Strzyzewski, 42, stepfather, married age 40, born IL, parents born Poland, chauffer truck industry.
Johanna Strzyzewski, 55, mother, married age 21, born IL, parents born Poland, no occupation.
I am still seeking his death and burial information and if this is he on the census, info about his marriage.

I don't know about this marriage, but a Casimir Strzyzewski marriage to Emma Gehrke took place in 1917, according to FamilySearch Record Search. (P.S.: I am a Pyterek descendant)
Yes I saw that marriage but my Casimir is on the 1920 census in household with his mother and status is single so I don't think that's him.
I bet that was him on Ashland. Seems they all lived in that area of Chicago.
