Aunt Mary was married to my maternal great-grandmother Josephine's brother, Steven. I never met Uncle Steve or if I did I don't remember because I was only 8 months old when he died. My mother said that Uncle Steve was a grouchy old man. Judging from the photos I've seen of my great-great uncle, he didn't look like a ray of sunshine. His lovely wife was always pleasant, always smiling and very friendly.
I find it interesting that Aunt Mary was born in Hungary and her father-in-law Stephen Duper was from the neighboring country, Austria.
