  	There appears to be a discrepancy between the apparent photo of the gravestone of Madaline (Eckart) Honzik at St. Mary's Mishicot cemetery taken from an internet website and the photo of the gravestone of Magdalena (Eckart) Honzik taken by Hilda Fronek in 1986 at the Tish Mills cemetery. Perhaps the former is the headstone of the entire Honzik family and the latter is the individual gravestone. Magdalena Honzik is the mother of Emma (Honzik) Fronek, the wife of John R. Fronek Adjacent to Magdalena's gravestone is the gravestone of Anna (Stangel) Honzik, the sister-inlaw of Emma and the wife of Wenzel Honzik, Emma's brother. (nee Eckart/b.
