Arrived in US about 1874

RESIDENCES:
(Probably died between 1894-1896 since he no longer shows up in the Chicago City Directory after 1894 and his wife was listed as a widow in the 1896 directory)

Occupation: Teamster laborer

Religion: Catholic

7. 8. Edward J. ROZHON   b. Dec 1883, Chicago, Cook, Illinois, USA; d. Jul 1966, Chicago, Cook, Illinois, USA.

DEATH:
John is listed in the 1880 census at 12 yrs of age, but is not listed in his father's obituary in 1895 which leads me to believe that he may have died in the intervening years.

DEATH:
Illinois Statewide Death Index, Pre-1916, lists a John Rozhon, died Sep 24, 1890, in Chicago, age 21 years (Cert #00011846). This is a strong possibility for this individual's (RIN 3, Custom ID 5.1) date of death.

NO CHILDREN
