  		(Huska) Salomeya Romashenko Headstone Original To the descendants of Salomeya (Huska) Romashenko, Sept. 2014 Salomeya Huska married Nikifor Romashenko on Nov. 8, 1874 in Babyntsi Ukraine. Nikifor died in 1899 at the age of 49. Salomeya then 42, was left aione with her three children: John, Maria, and Wasylena. John came to Canada in 1903 with Roman Huska. Salomeya, Maria, and Wasylena (Lena) followed in 1906. John married Valeska Twerdoclib, Maria married Severko Yacyshen and Wasylena married Yurko (George) Martyniuk. Thus three strong family branches were created: The Romashenko’s, the Yacyshen’s, and the Martyniuk’s. The three families produced 30 children, of these children, four survive today: Natalie (Romashenko) Gulka, Ellen (Romashenko) Lukey, Hilda (Romashenko) Pecknik, and me Bernadette (Martyniuk) Sorochuk. Salomeya died on March 9, 1920 at the home of her daughter Lena. Hers was the first burial to occur at Holy Trinity Cemetery (farm church). Baba Salomeya’s monument has stood fast for the greater part of 94 1/2 years. It is now leaning, cracking and starting to crumble. In discussion with the Romashenko and Yacyshen branches of the family we have decided that it is appropriate to replace the monument. The new monument will resemble the existing one in that it will be a Byzantine Cross; the inscription will be in English, with Vichnaya Pamyat (Eternal Memory) in Ukrainian. The monument will be purchased from and installed by Leson’s Monumental of Canora, agents of Remco Memorials. The cost of the granite monument is $5523.30. The monument is a cooperative, cost shared effort of the three branches of Salomeya’s family. Should one family collect more than another we will help the other, that is family. Keep in mind if there is an excess, Praise Be, it will be donated to care for/improve the cemetery grounds. Please consider participating in honoring this amazing BABA who transplanted her family in the fertile soil of Canada to grow and prosper. Given the current situation in the Ukraine, we are indeed fortunate. The monument will be installed at the end of October; the exact date will be circulated so that we may gather in thoughtful reflection on that day.
