Original Pennsylvania coroner’s certificate of death, file 103374-71, local registration 184, Ancestry collection 5164, record 41920023, image 5164_78164b65_1071-00047, inspected October 6, 2026. Ida Polityka, born September 12, 1892, Pennsylvania, died October 9, 1971, age 79, Shenandoah, Schuylkill County, Pennsylvania, at the family address matching 1940/1950 census, Alex’s 1942 draft and 1949 death, and Leo’s draft/compensation records. Widow of Alex Polityka, deceased. Father Casper Stransky, deceased; mother’s maiden-name field says Unknown, deceased. Informant Joseph Stransky, Shenandoah; his precise relationship is not stated. Burial October 12, 1971, St. Casimir Cemetery, Shenandoah, Schuylkill County, Pennsylvania. Coroner signed October 11, 1971. Birth details and parentage are informant-supplied information on an original death certificate, not an original birth record. Exact birthdate conflicts with approximate years implied by her census ages (45 in 1940, 56 in 1950); retain those earlier observations. This original supports the maiden surname previously drawn from Leo’s SSA index and the father Casper linkage. No unnamed mother profile created; no expansion of Ida or middle initial adopted. Government identifier omitted from prose; original retained privately.
