Name obtained from his son, Joseph's, death certificate.

IMMIGRATION: Per his own obituary in the Denni Hlasatel, he had been in America 30 years by the time he died in 1915, thus must have arrived here in 1885.

IMMIGRATION: It's difficult to read the year on the 1910 census but it appears to be 1884, the same year as his son John arrived.

His obituary also lists two nieces, Bozena and Marta Rozhon who I am assuming must have also lived in Chicago at the time of his death. They must have been single in 1915 since no married names were provided in the obituary. It is unknown if his brother (the father of those two girls) was also in the USA or not. Nothing is mentioned in the obit about him.

RESIDENCES:
1904 - 820 18th Street, Chicago. (per his wife's obituary)
1910 - 177 Clark St., Hammond, Indiana (per census - living with his son, John and daughter-in-law, Martha)
1915 - 2826 Karlov Ave., Chicago (per his own obituary)

Notes transferred from what WAS family #10 but in actuality was part of Family #9.:
This may be the same person as is listed as Josef Rozhon married to Maria, with children Vincent, Anna, Josef, Maria, and Johann. The ages are similar. Johann (born 1879) may be the same person as John shown here as Joseph's son, or perhaps they had another child around 1885. Josef's family was found in the Czech Immigration Passenger Lists, Volume IX on pg 146. I was told that this family originally lived in Illinois before moving to Indiana. Census for Illinois might turn up something on them.
