Joint stone for five children of Frank Kratochvil
Here is the information I have on the children buried in Lot 30. Frank - buried March 12, Agnes - buried March 17, Rose - buried March 18, Mari - buried March 19 and Ann - buried March 22. Information from the family bible indicates the year was 1895, however, the monument erected fairly recently indicates the death year as 1893. My grandfather, Frank Kratochvil, buried his children alone, as they died from the black diphtheria and the Parish priest refused to come out to the graves either due to the cold weather or fear of the diphtheria. --- From Roxie Freeman
Children of Mary Kutilek Kratochvil (1862 CZ-1902 Howard Co, NE).
The 1900 Census states that Frank and Mary had had 10 children, of which only 4 survived. Three were born after the death of these 5 children, so one of the older children must have survived the illnesses of 1892. Frank remarried, ~1903, Julia Pasdera, and had more children. --- From Kathy Burr
