This is a photograph of Bronislova "Bronė" Skačkauskaitė Radauskienė (1905-1961) and her husband, my first cousin twice removed Steponas Radauskas (1899-1944). I don't know when the photograph was taken, only that it had to be before Steponas' untimely death in early September, 1944. More likely it was prior to 1943 (because a photograph from that year shows him with far less hair), but I think it was after 1930. Bronė is thinner in this photo than she was in one taken in that year.
Bronė was born December 28, 1905, the daughter of Petras Skačkauskas. She and Steponas were married January 29, 1929, in Šeduva, in the Radviliskis district municipality in Lithuania. They had three children, daughter Aldona Radauskaitė Zigmantavičienė (born 1934), son Antanas, who was born about 1934 and died about 1935 (perhaps a twin to Aldona?), and son Petras Radauskas (1937-2004). Bronė died July 7, 1961, and is buried with Steponas and Antanas at the Rozalimas cemetery.
The photo in this post came from the private album of Aldona Radauskaitė Zigmantavičienė, the daughter of Bronislova "Bronė" Skačkauskaitė Radauskienė and Steponas Radauskas (tėtis means dad or daddy or papa in Lithuanian). Thank you Aldona! Thanks also to Osvaldas Guokas, who has been sharing all these photographs and information with me!
