Władysław Reymont

Died in 1925

Władysław Reymont, born Rejment in 1867 in Kobiele Wielkie, son of the village organist, grew up in a very Catholic and patriotic family. He obtained a tailor's certificate but followed a travelling theatre troupe, was a railway employee on the Warsaw–Vienna line and for a time frequented a spiritualist in Częstochowa. Injured in a train accident, he received from the company compensation that allowed him to live by his pen. He married Aurelia Szabłowska in 1902, often stayed in France and died in Warsaw on 5 December 1925.
