  1. Joseph G. ROZHON, Jr. Descendancy chart to this point (1.Bozena1) b. 1909, Chicago, Cook, Illinois, USA; d. 8 Apr 1969, Forest Park, , Ilinois, USA; bur. Queen of Heaven Masoleum, Hillside, Illinois, USA .

    Notes:
    Joseph's wife is mentioned in his father's obituary as "Wanda, daughter-in-law". Then she is mentioned in various KALITA obituaries as "Wanda Rozhon". I suspect that Wanda may have died shortly after they married and then Joseph remarried to Beatrice Arra.

    SOURCE: This individual found in WorldConnect records of rootsweb.com from cemetary records.
    BURIAL: Queen of Heaven Masoleum, Hillside, Illinois

    He might be the son of Joseph and Bessie Rozhon (family 9.11 in my records).

    Subject: Re: ROZHON from Central Bohemia

    Message: My paternal grandmother was Beatrix Rozhon, born in Chicago (ca. 1915), lived in Berwyn and Cicero (Cook County, IL), and died in Berwyn (ca. 1983). Her parents were Bohemian immigrants, but I do not know much more than that. Hope this helps. Also, do you know if Rozhon is a Bohemian version of the Jewish name "Rosen"?
