Zacharyoes K. URBANOWICZ (American (born Polish), Poland 1873–1964 Chicago)

Waldyslaw, Zacbaryoez, Zacharias, Zachary, Zachery, Urban, Urbanowies, Urbanowicz was a photographer and later in life, a shoe salesman. In many listings, his occupation, his address or the names of his wife and daughter are all that shows it is the same person. Chicago, IL, city directories, for many of the years 1916 through 1930, covered only established business categories and mid-town buildings, while residential areas were omitted. Since Urbanowics apparently worked out of his home or for another studio, he does not appear in city directories for most of those years. He was a photographer without a studio most of his career. In 1913, 1914, 1915 and 1917 city directories and the 1920 US census, he is listed at 4852 South Ashland which was apparently his residence too. In 1928, a rare street by street Chicago city directory shows another photographer is listed at that address. Zacharyoes K.
