Who is Hyman Kadetsky and where did he go?

Over the snowday on Tuesday January 27, 2015, the misforcast "Snowmagedon" I came across an unknown Hyman Kadetsky living in Chicago. I have only uncovered hints of him but no census records for him and his family. The first hint of his existence is a death certificate for his son, Arthur Kadet on https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:QV9V-7X6F. From this record we learn that a Hyman Kadetsky was married to Ruth Lent. They had a son, Arthur Kadet who was born October 17, 1926 in Illinois and died April 17, 1979 in Chicago Illinois. Arthur married Marilyn Hoffman. He was buried at the Westlawn Jewish Cemetery in Chicago. On the death certificate is a M. Bradbury.
The second record of Hyman's existence comes from his wife's death certificate, https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:QV9J-V1S2 . Ruth Kadetsky nee Lent died on January 4, 1976 and was buried on January 6 at the Westlawn Cemetery. Her parents names were Wolf Lent and Tzivia Karneson. She was a widow. She was born December 27, 1900 in Poland. Named on her death certificate is Arthur Kadet.
I have a strong suspicion that this Hyman Kadetsky is in fact the son of Abraham Kadetsky and Necca Karniszyn of Everett, Massachusetts. They had a son Hyman Kadetsky, born February 28, 1891 in Biezun, Poland. On the 1920 Census he lived with his parents in Everett Massachusetts but then all traces all him disappeared. Until now? Did he marry and move to Chicago. Was his wife a relative through his mother's family (Karneson vs Karniszyn)? Here is his World War 1 draft registration card. https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.3.1/TH-1961-25977-7654-53?cc=1968530

Jacob Kadetsky and Pauline Baruth 1876 marriage record reveals new information!

HI Everyone, Happy Snowday for Northeastoners!
I found this interesting marriage record for Pauline Baruth and Jacob Kadetsky. https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:F6QG-TYK
Although they don't have the original scan there are several interesting facts that we can learn from the record. First, this is their September 3, 1876 marriage record. From Jacob's 1906 death record we know that his parents were Gerturde Lazinsky and Elias Kadetsky (my gggggf through Jacob's brother Shaya Aziel!). This is the earliest American record I have confirmed for my Kadetsky family. Second we see that Jacob's father's name in americanized to Ignatz from Elias and his mother to Lina (her hebrew name was Gitel Leah). In the record Lina has the surname of Jackson. We already know that her surname is Lazinsky from the original polish records. This is an example of a patronymic naming as her father's first name was Jacob, hence Jacobson. For those who are descended from Jacob and Pauline Kadetsky, we learn Pauline's parents names of Meyer and Sarah Baruth. Finally we see early spellings of Kadetsky as Kadetzky and Kardetzky, as well as early spelling of Baruth as Bakuth (or poor transcriptions...)
