Generation: 1
  1. Charles (Karel) H. ROZHON b. 1905, Chicago, Cook, Illinois, USA; d. Jun 1970, Chicago, Cook, Illinois, USA.

    Notes:
    I question the March 1926 date of death for Charles that I obtained on the Baley website:
    http://familytreemaker.genealogy.com/users/b/a/l/George-J-Baley-LA-PORTE/BOOK-0001/0006-0022.html#IND1250REF46
    The reason I question this date is that his father died in 1939 and the obituary lists Charles (who was probably living) and omitted James (whom I know was deceased).
    Charles' wife, however, DID die in March 1926. Also, his wife, Olga, is listed as having a surname of "Newburg" on the Baley site but her obituary clearly lists her parents as Emil and Olga Staninger. Also, because of her young age at death, it's unlikely Newburg is her married name prior to marrying Charles.
