Adam Langiewicz, Thorp, Clark Co., WI


HUSBAND SERVED BOTH MACARTHURS

The death of Gen. Douglas Macarthur stirred some fond memories for Rose Langiewicz, 1309 N. Washington St.

Mrs. Langiewicz is the widow of Adam J. Langiewicz who under both the late General MacArthur and his father, Gen. Arthur MacArthur.

Mr. Langiewicz was only 14 years old when he enlisted in the Spanish-American War from Wisconsin.

"He was a big, husky farm boy," his widow related, "and looked older than his years. He wanted to enlist and his father signed the papers for him."

Serving in the Philippines turned out to be an unforgettable experience for the you Wisconsin farm lad as he became Gen. Arthur MacArthur’s orderly.

When World War I broke out, Langiewicz enlisted in the Army from Aberdeen and served uder Gen. Douglas MacArthur. The Aberdeen man fought in France and served in the Army for five years, remaining in the government. He was discarged a lieutenant.

Mr. Langiewicz had know young Douglas at the time he was serving as the father’s orderly.


"He used to say," his widow recalled, "that the MacArthurs treated him like one of the family."

A jetty builder by occupation, Mr. Langiewicz worked on both South Beach and Crescent City jetties.

He and his wife lived in California for a number of years, and Mr. Langiewicz died in Los Angeles in 1944. His widow moved back to Aberdeen shortly thereafter.

While they were living in California the couple read in the paper that Gen. Arthur MacArthur had retired and was living in La Jolla.


"My husband, " Mrs. Langiewicz remembered, "was determined to pay a visit to the general. I was not in favor of it. So many years had gone by and the general had known so many people that I was afraid he wouldn’t remember my husband.

"But we drove to La Jolla. I waited in the car while my husband went up to the house. General MacArthur came to the door and said immediately, "Why, how are you, Adam?"

We were invited to come into the house, and had lunch and a very good visit. They were wonderful people. In my husband’s opinion, both of the MacArthurs were the finest of men.

"And I," she added, "am very proud of my husband’s war record."

Adam married Rose Florence Malinowski in 1916 in Aberdeen, Grays Harbor, Washington, USA. Rose was born on 4 Oct 1892 in Thorp, Clark, Wisconsin, USA; died on 17 Jan 1970 in Aberdeen, Grays Harbor, Washington, USA. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

From an obituary of George Konieczny dated 27 Jan 1930 comes the following information:

George Konieczny, aged 79 years and 10 months died at the home of his son, Joseph, in the town of Withee, Clark Co, Wi of bronchial pneumonia on Monday Jan 27,1930,after an illness of eight days.

Langiewicz,Alex b 22 Dec 1894 died Sept 1976 wife Eva

Langiewicz Eva b. 1901 died 1957 husband Alexander



Family Notes



Alexander is one of Adam Langiewicz’s younger siblings. When Rose Malinowski Langiewicz accompanied her mother, Anna, to Thorp in about 1927– Rose apparently did not go on with Anna to Chicago to see Anna’s sister, Veronica. It’s possible she was making a connection with Adam’s family. This is the only known return trip to Thorp of any family members since they left for Washington in 1901. Adam left to join the Army in 1895, Rose would only have been 2 years old. It’s unknown how he met Rose.

Emily Airhart (Rose's niece) remembers Adam's sister Mary. The kids called her Auntie Kinish". She was always very good to the children. She used to always come to the haying potlucks at the Malinowski ranch. Emily’s mother, Soph, said Mary would sweetly say to those coming to the table "Eat all you want 'dahlink', I made it myself." (when she hadn’t made anything). Nancy Cuyle.
