BIRTH: Note that three different dates are recorded for John. His naturalization papers list 24 Dec 1880 but the 1900 census lists July 1877. Based on the order of children listed in the census and their ages, I believe that the census might be the more accurate. Also, his sister is listed as being born in 1880. Lastly, his WWI draft registration shows 24 Dec 1879.

IMMIGRATION:
Arrived 07 Jun 1887 aboard the SS Eider out of Bremen, Germany and Southampton, England. Destination is given simply as United States of America. Place of origin is stated to be Bohemia. No other useful details appear on the manifest. The following are the individuals who appear together:
Rozhon, Matej age 50 male
, Josefa age 40 female, wife
, Franz age 9 6/12 male, son
, Johann age 7 6/12 male, son
, Maria age 5 female, daughter
, Ignatz age 3 male, son
, Barbara age 11/12 female, daughter
, Anastasia age 14 female, none (may be a relative of some sort but 'none' was what was actually listed.
Note that there is no James or Vincenc travelling with the family. He may have arrived earlier and would be quite older than his siblings.

I've listed Mokrice, Bohemia as his birthplace solely on the strength of the naturalization paperwork that was filled out by his sons, Frank and John (naturalized13 Oct 1904), where they listed that as their prior home. Mokrice is very close to Zahorany.

Matej's obituary states that he had two daughters-in-law at the time of his death. 1) Johanna; 2) Kristyna.

He was 89 years old when he died.

RESIDENCES:
1895 525 W. 18th St., Chicago -- Laborer (from City Directory)
1897 494 W. 18th, Chicago -- Cigarmaker (from CityDir)

1901 1298 Spaulding Ave, Chicago -- Cigarmaker (from CityDir)
1915 Baldwin, Michigan (per obituary)

There seems to be some sort of connection to James Rozhon (3.1) who also lived at the 494 W.18th address. In addition, James Rozhon, Jr. lived at that address. Michael had a son named Vincene who never married and later moved with his father to Michigan. James, however, is associated with a Jan as his father, not Michael, so who is Michael and how are they related (if they are, at all?)
