John Carl Erdelsky 1911-1945

by Philip John Erdelsky, his nephew

The biography of John Carl Erdelsky is perhaps the saddest story in the Erdelsky saga. He was born in 1911, the youngest son of Constantine Joseph Erdelsky. He married Irma Fuhrman, a nurse who had attended him when he suffered from kidney disease. They had two daughters:

Joan Erdelsky (1941-1963)
Edith Erdelsky (1934-1953)

In 1945 he died of kidney disease. It appears that the disease was genetic, because his two daughters both died prematurely of similar ailments.

His widow later remarried.
