EASTLAND DISASTER SURVIVOR
ZAJIC, Irene K., 95, a Chicago homemaker, was a survivor of the 1915 Eastland disaster in the Chicago River that took 812 lives. One of the victims was her younger sister. A resident of the Dunning neighborhood, she died Tuesday in Good Shepherd Hospital in Barrington. Mrs. Zajic was working at Western Electric in Cicero and on July 24, 1915, took her sister, Ada, on the company excursion planned for Michigan City, Ind. They boarded the steamer Eastland at the foot of Clark Street and were waiting on deck. The crew had let out ballast to accommodate the large number of passengers. But when too many people crowded to one side to watch a passing ship, the Eastland capsized. She was thrown into the water and lost track of her sister. Someone reached into the water and pulled Mrs. Zajic out. ``My mother never knew who it was who saved her,`` said her daughter, Joanne Shields.
Survivors, besides her daughter, include: a son, Arnold; another daughter, Evelyn Senn; nine grandchildren; 12 great-grandchildren; two great- great-grandchildren; two brothers; and a sister.
