• Notes

  Found this family on a ship manifest for the Kronprinz Wilhelm which arrived in NYC on 15 Oct 1902 (sailing from Bremen). The family was listed in the EIDB (Ellis Island Data Base) as ROZTRON but is obviously ROZHON when you look at the actual handwriting on the page. The family's last residence is listed as "Blatna". They were on their way to J. Kuskova, 464 W. 18th (Alport) in Chicago, Illinois and were travelling with a sister-in-law, Antonie Kuskova (28 yrs old). J. Kuskova is probably Antonie's husband and the surname probably doesn't end in 'ova' since that is the feminine version. More likely, the name is Kuskov or Kuska. Karel was listed as 31 yrs., Marie as 26 yrs., Marie (daughter) as 2 yrs., and Antonie. Image of the ship manifest is onfile as Rozhon_Karel_1902_Chicago.gif RESIDENCES: 1910 - 1441 W 51st Street (census shows it as So. 51st) By the 1910 Federal Census, he is now married to Antonie (Antoinette), his sister-in-law, married for only 2 years. Last two children (Bozena and Anthony) are with this wife. 1920 - 1216 S. 50th Street, Chicago (per 1920 census) 1922 - 2709 S 58th Court, Cicero (per his wife, Antonie's obituary) 1930 - Chicago State Hospital (per census) 1936 - 160 Burlington Ave. By the 1930 Federal Census, Charles is confined to the Chicago State Hospital (Insane Asylum) - occupation listed as Butcher. OCCUPATION: Butcher RELATIONSHIP_ESTABLISHED_BY: Charles having his name mention as the son of Antonin in Antonin's obituary.
