Joseph and Pauline Vidich

Pauline and Joseph Vidich, Circa 1958
Joseph and Pauline Vidich came to the United States in the early 1900s from their homeland in Kropa, at that time part of the Austrian empire. Joseph Vidich, born in 1886, arrived in the United States in 1911. His future wife, Pauline Pesjak came soon thereafter meeting him in New York City where they got married.  

This photo was probably taken in the late 1950s when they were living in Milwaukee. It appears to be taken in a photo studio since Joseph is wearing a suit and that was not his normal attire. I remember him wearing a light jacket in the fall season with a penchant for conmfortable work clothes so he could dive into his sausage making activities in the basement of their home at 5808 West national Avenue, West Allis, Wisconsin.
