Notes:

Joseph and Anna (Svec) Soukup "lived on a farm west of Milligan, which they rented for 38 years, then moved to a farm near Swanton. In November 1929, they purchased a farm near Western, which was farmed by their twin sons, Frank J. and James J."

However, Caroline Mastny noted that he homesteaded in Oklahoma, but didn't like it, so he returned to Nebraska, leaving his wife and sons behind for a brief time so they could keep the land. He later sold his land to Louis Beznoska in Walter, Oklahoma.

On the 1910 Cherokee County Oklahoma Federal Census, a Joseph Soukup was listed as a boarder in the home of James Thompson. He is shown as age 33 (born circa 1877), born in Bohemia, and with an occupation of Tailor. (Courtesy of Charles Strong). This may be the same Joseph Soukup...possibly he supported himself as a tailor while waiting to receive the title on his land.

Joseph married Anna Svec on 20 Jan 1903 in Milligan, Fillmore County, Nebraska. Anna (daughter of Vaclav "James" Svec and Marie "Mary" Suda) was born on 21 Aug 1883 in Milligan, Fillmore County, Nebraska; died on 1 Apr 1956 in Crete, Saline County, Nebraska; was buried in Bohemian National Cemetery (Milligan South), Milligan, Fillmore County, Nebraska.

Notes:

According to the ship manifest of the S.S. Bremen, Frank M. Soukup traveled to America with his half-brother John Zakovec, John's wife Josefa, and their two daughters. The North German Lloyd steamship arrived at the Port of New York on May 1, 1869.

"Most of the Czechs... (who later settled in Nebraska) were obliged to go elsewhere (first) to earn a living. Many originally came (in this country) from around Braidwood, Illinois, where they had worked in mines." (homesteads.http://www.rootsweb.com/~neethnic/czechs/cz-pg97a.html)


The following obituary is transcribed from an undated clipping, newspaper not known

Frank Soukup

The ravages of time, creeping unrelentlessly on, gathered in its arms Wednesday, March 15, 1933, Frank Soukup, who had been preparing for the journey. He had lived his allotted time and more. His days of activityhad long since ceased so he was patiently waitingfor the dend to come when he might fold his arms in peace and pass into eternal sleep.

Frank Soukup was born in Koryto, okres (town) Kralovice, kraj (county) Plzen in Czechoslovakia, July 4, 1852. He came to this country along with his parents as a seventeen-year-old lad, first to Braidwood, Ill., to find work in the coal mines. From there he came to Nebraska, settling in Saunders County. At the age of twenty-two he married Anna Beznoska near what is now Morse Bluffs. In 1892 they moved to Fillmore county and purchased the farm now owned by Mrs. Antonie Krisl and Vaclav Capek. He later engaged in business here and in 1903 moved to Junction City, Ok., where his wife died.

About seven years ago he returned here and since then made his home with his son Harry. It is a happy thought that his baby son should care for the father, even as the father once cared for the baby son. He was perfectly happy and contented here. He had lived a generous life, too generous for his own good, and accepted with a spirit of generosity the events and circumstances which crowned the closing days of his career.

The deceased leaves surviving, five sons, Edward, Frank, Joe Harry and Will and two daughters, Lily Eret of Prague, Oklahoma and Anna Hooker of Baird, Tex, two sisters, Veronike Virkova and Anna Hines (Note: this is his half-sister, Anna Zakovec Hines) of Morse Bluffs, twenty seven grandchildren and ten great grandchildren. Services were held at the home of his son Harry Saturday afternoon, being in charge of Rabi Z.C.B.J. of which organization he was a member and the body was laid to rest in the Bohemian national cemetery. The deceased passed away at the age of 80 years, 8 months, and 4 days. (End)

According to Helena Soukup Parker, Frank farmed while in Saunders County, as well as operating a hotel and saloon. After his wife died, he lived with his son, Harry. Later he lived with his daughter Lillian Eret and later still with his son Alois Soukup in Prague, Oklahoma. At the time of his death, he was again living with Harry, who was the informant for his death certificate.

The information on the Soukup family is primarily from information graciously supplied by Helena Soukup Parker of Idyllwild, California. It has been supplemented by various census records and newspaper notices from Oklahoma as transcribed by Charles R. Strong. Additionally, information has been obtained from the book HISTORY OF MILLIGAN NEBRASKA 1888-1988 compiled by the Milligan Centennial History Book Committee and printed by Walsworth Publishing Co, Marceline, Missouri.

On Frank's certificate of death (completed by his son Harry), his parents are shown as Frank Soukup and Barbara Hines. This contradicts the more complete information provided by Nancy Soukup that showed Frank was the son of Antonin and Marie Soukup.

Notes:

Helena Soukup Parker writes that Anna Beznoska was born in Bohemia on September 15, 1858 and came to Cleveland, Ohio in 1864 at the age of six years. She died in the home of her daughter Lillian Eret, Prague, Oklahoma, on July 14, 1909.

"Mrs. Anna Soukup of Oklahoma was buried in the Bohemian National Cemetery last Sunday in the presence of a large circle of her friends and relatives. Some few weeks ago Mr. and Mrs. Soukup were summoned here on account of the death of their daughter, Mrs. Albert Kassick. When Mrs. Soukup left for home she was not feeling well and upon arriving was almost immediately taken sick and continued growing weaker until death finally came. Her husband F.M. Soukup for weeks was constantly by her side and accompanied her corpse here from Oklahoma. Last Tuesday he too was taken seriously ill and is now under the care of a physician although the case is not as serious as at first seemed. The Soukup's are old residents in this locality having lived on their half section farm two miles south of town her for many years before moving to Oklahoma. They have a host of friends here who symphatize with them in these days of trouble and who trust that Mr. Soukup will soon recover. The following from Oklahoma were present at the funeral: Mr. and Mrs. Joe Eret, Mrs. Tessie Strong, Miss Anna Soukup and Ed, Harry, Louis and Willie Soukup. Also the following relatives from Saunders county: Mrs. Racek, and son, Emil, Pr Jakovec, Mr and Mrs Anton Soukup, Mrs. John Varka, Mrs. Fr. Hinesh and Mrs. Joe Hinesh."
