Alexander Holoka was born to Hungarian parents in Pennsylvania in 1912. He lived much of his early life in the state, but he eventually moved to Chicago, Illinois, where he remained until his death in 1984. This collection of his personal papers spans his life, from his original birth certificate issue by the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania in 1912, to his November 8, 1984, obituary from the Chicago Tribune. Other items in the collection include his death certificate; military discharge papers (he served in the Army Air Force during World War II); certificates from the Pennsylvania State Registration Board for Professional Engineers and the International Correspondence School, Scranton, Pennsylvania; various receipts, member cards, licenses, and a small pocket diary. |
