• Notes

  RESIDENCES: 1930 - 3516 Highland Ave, Chicago, Illinois (per 1930 census) MARRIAGE: First married at age of 32yrs (per 1930 census) The following is the source for this family group, however, I think there may be an error. There is a Frank A. Rozhon from Indiana with a daughter Eleanor and son Robert, but his wife's name was Mae Svatos. Frank later moved to Chicago and died there in 1949. The 1930 Illinois census shows Marie living with Eleanor and Robert and listed as divorced, so Mae might be Frank's second wife? Horek, Rozhon - 02/24/99 02:36:09My URL:<http://www.ismi.net>My Email:kshenry01@ismi.net Country of Origin: Bohemia Comments:Looking for information regarding Edward Rozhon. Family lived in North Judson, Indiana and later moved to Chicago. Had a son Robert Edward B. 12/20/1915 and a daughter Eleanor. Married to Marie Horek b. Aug. 1895. Source for this family group is kshenry01@ismi.net. Listing found at distantcousin.com. Lived in North Judson, Indiana and later moved to Chicago. However, given name was stated to be Edward not Frank. Is this yet another husband? 22 May 2003: I've received a copy of Frank's obituary as listed in the Denni Hlasatel newspaper in Chicago. This obit may clear up the uncertainty about Marie's maiden name and whether she was married to Edward or Frank. The obit shows Frank was married to "Mae Svatos", so obviously, it must be Edward that is married to Marie Horek. But WHO is Edward? He isn't part of the family I already have recorded.
