In memory of my beloved deceased father Jose Ajduk
Born 1873 died 30 August 1926
Always remembered and never forgotten his son Ante.
The West Australian Registrar General has his name as follows: AJDECK Yozeo: Registered Coolgardie 6/1926. He would have been registered in Coolgardie as this was the nearest registry office to Kurrawang. He is also listed as AJDECK Yozeo in the Kalgoorlie Cemetery Records where he is buried in the Roman Catholic Section.

Jozp Adjuk died at the Kurrawang Woodline Camp. His cause of death was given as Chronic Pleurisy and a dilated heart. He was the son of Mate Adjuk who was a farmer. He was born in Dalmatia Yugoslavia in 1873. He married Mauda Maie in Dalmatia when he was 28yrs old. The couple had three children: Mate 25yrs, Ivan 23yrs and Ante 20yrs.
He had only been in Western Australia for two years. Its not know if he wife and sons came with him but it looks like one son at least was here. The newspaper said ‘Toni’ but that may have been a name one of his sons were know by.
