Maria Dolyniuk1

b. 22 February 1857, d. 7 July 1935
Maria (Dolyniuk) Zwarycz in about 1915.
Maria Dolyniuk, daughter of "Baba Hliuba" (Fat Baba) (--?--), was born on 22 February 1857 at Sniatyn, Ukraine.2

Maria married Iwan Zwarych in 1875 likely at Tulova, Ukraine.3

Maria and Iwan left Ukraine to settle in Canada, sailing from Hamburg, Germany, on 4 April 1900 on the S. S. Arcadia4 arriving at Halifax, Nova Scotia, on 18 April 1900. For more details of the journey from Tulova to Alberta, see the Zwarycz and Kostaszczuk Emigration.5

For many years the Zwarych home was the centre of Ukrainian life. Many new arrivals would be invited to stay at their home, sometimes for weeks, until they could get settled on their own homestead.

In 1918 Iwan's health deteriorated. He and Maria sold their property and moved to Edmonton.

Maria died on 7 July 1935 at Edmonton, Alberta, at age 78.2 She was buried on 10 July 1935 at Beechmount Cemetery, Edmonton, Alberta.2
