John Joseph Stephany, son of Paul Stefaniak and Mathilda Drobkiewicz, was a native of Manitowoc, Manitowoc, Wisconsin. Records give an inconsistent date of birth, with his draft card suggesting 15 Jan 1874, death record 15 Jan 1873, and baptismal certificate 27 Jan 1872. That same certificate indicates that he was baptized on 28 Jan 1872 at Saint Boniface in Manitowoc. Please note the 15 Jan 1873 date happens to be the date of death of his father Paul. His widowed mother Mathilda remarried in 1877, and John moved with his mother, siblings, and stepfather Anton Borusky to Two Rivers by 1880.

John married Wladyslawa "Lottie" Wyczynski, daughter of Michael Wyczynski and Mary Kierstein, on 9 May 1899 in Chicago, Cook, Illinois. The family moved to Leyden Township in Cook County by 1910. John was widowed in 1940. He died at the age of 72 and was interred in Saint Adalbert Catholic Cemetery in Niles on 14 Aug 1944.

Sources include baptismal and death certificates, census records, World War I draft registration cards, and Illinois marriage and death records, as well as the records of family members.
