I ASSUME you mean Thomas Ogorzaly/Gazoo who was born in 1865 and died June 22, 1917. According to the death certificate of Thomas Gazoo, which someone posted on Ancestry, Thomas was the son of Thomas Gazoo and Mary Charnecka. He was buried in Dupont.
However, I suggest getting his obituary which may help confirm this is the person you are looking for. Check with the Northeast Pennsylvania Genealogical Society to see if they can help you with the obit. If you know which cemetery he was buried in check with the office to see what they have on him in their records (check the dates on the tombstone if he has one). If you know what church he was a member of do the same there. If you're not sure what church he belonged to and it's not in his obit (and assuming he was Roman Catholic) check with the Diocese of Scranton to see if they can help you. Also his obit might list surviving siblings at least the ones that also immigrated. If so track them down to see what town they came from, etc.
