Notes:

Vaclav and Marie Kosa Bulin circa 1868, settling first with relatives in Yuba, Wisconsin. Vaclav was a builder and cabinent maker. While in Wisconsin, they had twin boys and a baby girl. They moved to Glengary Township in the winter of 1878. There they came to live with Jan Kotas, Marie Bulin's uncle who lived in a sod hut near Milligan. Vaclav built the church on the north cemetery, for which Jan Kotas donated the lumber. Vaclav bought 160 acres, SE 1/4 Section 13 Glengary Township, Railroad Land, near Milligan.

In the spring of 1888, the blizzard year, the five children of Vaclav and Marie Bulin took sick with diptheria. Three children died within a week, Mary age nine and the twin boys, Frank and Joe, age seven. It is said that a lady from Strang heard of the disease and came in her buggy, and treated the children "with a powder." The children stopped dying and the two who survived were W. J. and Albert Bulin. (Milligan, pp 214 - 215)

The 1900 census indicates they also had a son John, born ca Dec 1879 who was still living in their home. Additionally, Mary was shown as the mother of 6 children in total, three still living.

Notes:

John was a farmer and businessman. In 1899, he built a lumber yard. The Catholic Church was built with lumber donated from his yard. In 1890, he built a saloon on Main Street, from land he bought from Vaclav and Mary KOTTAS. One Saturday night, as he was locking up, he heard a noise and as he turned around someone threw a bottle, hitting him in the face which cut his lip badly and broke out a tooth. He grew a moustache after this to cover the scar. He sold the saloon, and purchased land from Frank ANDREL in 1892 and returned to farming. They later returned to their home place which had been rented. John died following an accident in the hay field, which was caused by one of the frames for stacking hay coming unfastened and falling on him, hitting him across the shoulders and neck. He was a prominent citizen from the time the village of Milligan was organized, quiet of dispostion, and never meddling in other people's affairs, attending only to his business. Friends and neighbors stacked the grain and hay in the fields for the family. As the boys were too young to take over the farm, it was rented. (Milligan, p 357).

Jan married Marie Rejsek on 7 Feb 1882 in Fillmore County, Nebraska. Marie was born on 27 Aug 1862 in Stra?ec?, Bohemia; died on 5 Aug 1927 in Nebraska; was buried in Bohemian Brethren Cemetery (AKA Cesky Bratri Cemetery), Fillmore County, Nebraska. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]
