Additional Comments:
Anna PELOT was born in the Austria-Hungary Empire.  Based on immigration 
records (1893), it is believed she as Hungarian.  However, census records show 
b.Austria.  She was married to John in 1893 (possible location: Minneapolis, 
MN).  The family followed mining jobs and by 1894 they were in Sand Coulee, 
MT, in 1898 in Casper, WY, by 1900 back in Sand Coulee, MT, in 1901 in Black 
Diamond, WA, in 1906 in Cle Elum, WA, and in 1900 Carbonado, WA.  Her 
husband's name at birth was "FUSHKO" but at the time of Anna's death, the 
family was using the spelling "FUSKO."  Her husband's name at the time of his 
death was "FUSCO" which is the surname her children used (children: Mary A. 
FUSCO ANDROSKO, 1894-1965; John T. FUSCO, AKA REYNOLDS, 1895-1977; Emma Nellie 
FUSCO SHELDON SAMUELS, 1898-1975; George FUSKO, 1900-1901; Rose FUSCO MOSSOP, 
1902-1937; Anna "Annie" Mae FUSCO FRIEND MAYER, 1905-1960; Steven George 
FUSCO, 1906-1984; William FUSCO, 1908-1973; Joseph William FUSCO, 1911-1984). 

Tacoma Daily News, Monday, December 7, 1914, pg 2:  Mrs. Anna Fusko.  Mrs. 
Anna Fusko, age 39, wife of John Fusko, of Wilkeson, died at St. Joseph's 
hospital yesterday.  Besides her husband she leaves six children.  The body 
was removed to L. M. Gaffney's and will be sent to Wilkeson for interment.

Anna was buried in Our Lady of Lourdes Cemetery (Wilkeson Cemetery). She and 
her husband are buried side-by-side.  Her gravestone is tall with the 
following written on it: 
ANNA FUSKO
Rodena. dna.
12HO Junia. 1876
Umrela. dna.
5HO Dec. 1914.
Spasi. hospodi. dusu Jey.
The stone lists her birth date followed by her death date.  In attempting to 
translate the words, language was found in the "Church Slavonic" edition of 
the Divine Liturgy (the Slavs inherited the Byzantine - Eastern Catholic - 
traditions).  The words in the last line are roughly translated:
Spasi:  "save" or "rescue"
Hospodi:  (also "Gospodi") "Lord"
Dusu Jey:  "your soul"
