Would be very grateful for any information on Alexander (Alec, Alic) HLADKI.

Family lore is that he migrated to USA in 1910 as verified by Ship Manifest below. Last known address believed to be Peabody, Essex Co., MA with alledged DOD in 1947 from cancer. Married, Widowed, no known children. Believed to have become very prosperous in restaurants and/or hotel business - maybe in NY or in Essex Co. MA. Executor of WILL and/or Trustee may have been Austria or Ukraine Fraternal Society or Association.

First Name: Pantelomon

I found him in WWI Draft Registration 1917-1918 as Alic HLADKI, Essex MA, and as Alexander HLADKI in 1930 Essex Co. MA census.

1910 Ship manifest shows him as farm laborer. NY, NY
1917 Draft Card shows him as unemployed leather worker. Peabody, MA
1930 census shows him as salesman - Grocery Store. Salem MA

City Clerk's Ofc in Peabody MA states no records of male HLADKI. Same from keepers of cemetery records for Peabody (last known address).

Family would like to have information concerning wife, his Naturalization (if any), Death record/obit, cemetery, probate if any. Any advertisements on his businesses (hotels/restaurants) or any type of write-ups from newspapers or magazines, especially if there is photo of him with it.

Also, if anybody knows or understands about these fraternal societies who apparently act/acted as liasons or trustees between the homeland families and immigrants, please give me information on how to get in touch with one of them or where to learn more about them.
