User submitted facts and corrections:
  • Professional wrestler Stanislaus Zbyszko held the world heavyweight wrestling championship twice in the 1920's. By the late 20's, early 30's he had retired to his farm in Old Orchard, Maine, where he lived with his brother, Wladek, who was also a wrestler. By the 1950's they had moved to Savannah, Missouri, where they lived for the rest of their lives. Stan died in St. Joseph, Missouri in 1967. After his funeral his remains were brought to Saco and buried in the family in Laurel Hill Cemetery, with his wife, Anne. Brother Wladek died the following year and was buried in Savannah, Missouri. If anybody has any information on the Zbyszko property or has a photo of the grave, please write me. My e - mail address is burbank3000 at aol.com. My name is Bob. Thank you Bob Siler
