History
The donor, William Zych, was Madalene’s brother-in-law.

T02-1655 consists of objects from the John J. Zych (1906-2001) and Madalene Edding Zych (1905-1990) family. Both John and Madalene are buried in Pilgrim Home.

The Zych’s lived at 31 West 1st Street (Holland, MI) from 1936 through 1947. They later lived at 256 West 23rd Street in Holland, MI.

John worked for the Holland Hitch Company (1940-1945) and the Holland Racine Shoe Company (1947-1958). Madalene worked briefly for Crampton Manufacturing and had her own business, Professional Secretarial Service, out of her home.
