• Notes

  *** NOTE THIS *** I have listed Frantizka and Marie as sisters simply to keep them associated in the database. ********************** On the manifest for Kaiser Wilhelm Der Grosse she emigrated with her cousin(?) Marie Rozhon from Zadni Chlum, Bohemia. This is located just a few miles from Mokrice (east of the Vlatava River). Destination was 5631 Hamlet Ave., Cleveland (brother-in-law for Frantizka and aunt (Marie Nikodym) for Marie). A search was done for the 1910 census to see who lived at that address. The surname was NIKODYM. The head of the household was Marie who was a widow. An obit exists for this woman: Name: Nikodym, Marie Date: Feb 18 1931 Source: Source unknown; Cleveland Necrology File, Reel #060. Notes: Nikodym: Marie, age 73 (nee Heil), beloved mother of E. I. Nikodym (Emil Nikodym), Mrs. E. Cipra and the late Louis, Monday, Feb. 16, 1931. Funeral Thursday, Feb. 19, from the late residence, 4299 E. 114th Street at 8 a. m. Services at Our Lady of Lourdes Church, corner Hamm and Dolloff Rd., at 8:30 a. m. Friends invited. Marie Nikodym was born about 1858. Note that her husband's name is not listed. I was also unable to locate a marriage record in the county index. So at the present time, I am unable to identify who this couple was and how Marie and Frantizka were related to them since Marie Nikodym's maiden name appears to be Heil thus not a Rozhon. Addendum Oct 2004: The 1900 City Directory lists a widow, Mary Nikodym at 5 Glazier St. and mentions that she is the widow of Ignac. Glazier is near Nursery on the southeast side off of Broadway. 5631 Hamlet was the first house east of the Olympia Theatre (which would be at the rear of the building.) A tailor shop (in the rear of the house) shows up on a 1912 map of the area. Mary (Heil) Nikodym's son was a tailor -- maybe her husband was too when he was alive? In 1900, the address would probably have been 27 Hamlet in ED #127 but the Nikodym family did not appear in the 1900 census on that street even though they would have already been in the USA.
