(Karol?)
- Born: ab. 1864
(birth certificate: missing) - Married to Marianna Lis
(marriage certificate: missing) - Married to Agata Pieniazek on 18 Feb 1889, Gorzno
near Garwolin, Poland
(marriage certificate) - Died: 07 Feb 1943, Slup near Garwolin, Poland
(death certificate: missing)
Some relatives remembered his first name as Karol;
however, his marriage certificate with Agata and the death certificate of his
son Antoni, mentions only Stanislaw. Agata Pieniazek
was his second wife; his first wife Marianna, maiden name Lis died probably in
Gorzno. Antoni, his son with his first wife married Rozalia Pieniazek, Agata's youngest
sister. When Agata's brother Jozef and and her father Adam Pieniazek left Slup
near Parysow (also known as Pienki) for Swoboda near Siennica, the two Chmielak
families purchased the Pieniazek's farm and house.
During the Second Word War the Polish Home Army (AK) partisans executed the
Garwolin County Commissioner (starosta). It is interesting to add that the
commanding officer of the AK partisans was Stefan Zajac from Parysow, a
schoolmate of Feliks Chajewski and Szczepan Pieniazek from the Podlasie Bishop's
Gymnasium in Siedlce. After the war, Stefan Zajac worked in the Polish
National Bank. One of his soldiers was Antoni Chmielak mentioned above (this
could be Antoni's son, because Antoni died in Slup at the age of 62 in 1942).
As a reprisal for the execution of the Garwolin County Commissioner, Germans
decided to "pacify" Slup on February 7, 1943*. As the buildings in the village of
Slup were spread out and surrounded by forest, most people got away, but not
Stanislaw, who was shot by the Nazis in front of his house. His wife Agata
burned when Germans set fire to her house. *See:http://rebkow.za.pl/wojna.htm#Represje w okolicach Garwolina andhttp://free.of.pl/r/rebkow/wojna.htm) The book by Zbigniew Gnat - Wieteska, Armia Krajowa Obwód Gołąb - Garwolin, AJAKS 1997, ISBN: 83-87103-39-X "7 Feb1943:. -pacification of the village Slup.
