South High School Class of 1936

The purpose of this blog is to assist me in locating members of the 1936 graduating class of South High School in Pittsburgh PA. In 2003, I acquired a box of calling cards that my grandmother, Ida Turkovich, had saved for many years. Looking over the names, I became interested in each individual. Knowing that every card was last in the hand of its original owner, so long ago, stirred a curiosity in my heart. I am now on a quest to reunite each of the cards with its original owner.

Agnes Sakmar

I am searching for Agnes Sakmar, who attended high school in the 6th Ward of Pittsburgh, PA at South High School and graduated in the June class of 1936. She was born in or around 1917 and if she married, she may have a different last name. I have been researching the "Sakmar" familyin Pittsburgh and have learned of an "Agnes Sakmar" that passed away on July 26, 2001. I believe this to be the person I am searching for. If I am correct, her parents were Michael & Anna Sakmar ad her siblings are as follows:
Michael Sakmar Jr., Catherine & Helen Sakmar, Rose Barczak, Joseph & Andrew Sakmar & the late Anna Overlingas, George, Mary, Martha, John, Elizabeth & Susan Sakmar. If you know or are realted to Agnes, please contact me so I can return her calling card.

I estimate that she was born in or around 1917 and lived in the Allegheny county area of Pittsburgh PA, probably in Ward 6. According to the research I've done, there are some Lewicki's residing in the Pittsburgh area, however, I haven't been able to locate her. If you are a relative of friend of Helen, please contact me as I would like to return her calliong card from so many years ago.
