Arrived in the US around 1904-1905. Owned a grocery store in Clairton, PA (the building has his name and the date - 1928 - worked into the brick on the front). Saw a picture of his future wife at her brother Steve's house and asked if he could marry her. She came over from Trieste (then a free city in Austria/Hungary) and married him.

Registered for the draft in 1918 (WWI) on 12 Sep. Listed as a naturalized citizen. Resided at 15 E. Park Ave., Clairton, PA. Brown eyes and black hair, medium height and build.

Listed as naturalized in 1913 (1920 Census), arrived in US in 1905. A cousin Milan Babic, age 31, who arrived in US in 1906, not naturalized, is shown living with the Babics.

His father is said to have been a forester and he was also planning on being one. He left Austria/Hungary to avoid being drafted into the Austrian army. His mother is said to have died when he was only six months old. (source: Natalie Terbovic Warren from a document prepared by her Aunt Sally (Luka's daughter].)

Birth date given on marriage license application is Oct 30 1883.
