Marie Simacek

Notes:

She may have died either in Bohemia, or soon after they arrived in Nebraska.

The Milligan Centennial book listed her date of birth as January 28, 1840. This does not appear to be correct, as her son John Kasak, Jr. born in 1850.

It is noted that the birthdates shown for Jan Kasak's first and second wife, Marie Simacek and Alzbeta "Elizabeth" Cizek, as shown in the Milligan Centennial book, are IDENTICAL. This appears to be in error.

Marie married Jan "John" Kasak between 1850 and 1858. Jan was born about 1826 in Pisek, Bohemia; died on 5 Mar 1878 in Nebraska; was buried in Kasak Cemetery, Fillmore County, Nebraska. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

Mike and Mary Simacek came by boat to the United States from their native land of Bohemia in June of 1886, docking in Baltimore, Maryland. From there, they took a train to Nebraska and on the the home of their daughter, Mrs. John KASAK, northeast of Milligan, living near there the rest of their lives. They had two children, Mike, Jr. born in 1846, who married Mary POLAK and a daughter, Marie Simacek, born January 28, 1840 [note this dates is thought to be erroneous], married John A. KASAK, Sr. Mike and his wife Marie are presumed to be buried in unmarked graves in the Kasak Cemetery. (Milligan, p. 481).
