11/9/2021 - Stephen Marusiewski


A native of Poland who lived in this country for 28 years, Stephen Marusiewski (1894-1950) worked most of that time in the maintenance department of the Collins Company.  He fell twenty-five feet to his death from a scaffold onto a concrete floor while painting a ceiling in a building.  The plank he was standing on broke and caused his fall.  Medical examiner Dr. Carl Kilburn determined that Marusiewski died of a fractured skull.  A fellow worker, Everett Gustafson, also fell.  He was lucky enough to land on another platform and escaped injury.

Marusiewski left a wife, a daughter, and three grandchildren.  Funeral Services were held at the C.H. Vincent Funeral Home on Maple Avenue and at St. Patrick’s Church.

Stephen Marusiewski is buried in Calvary Cemetery, Collinsville.
