"Most of the Czechs in this vicinity (Saunders County, Nebraska) were obliged to go elsewhere to earn a living. Many originally came (in this country) from around Braidwood, Illinois, where they had worked in mines. So back there they went for the winter season, or to Omaha (and in either case they went to Omaha afoot), leaving their wives to take care of the children and homesteads. Mrs. Frank Hines (living at date of writing) remembers when her husband left for Braidwood and two weeks later their son Frank was born. There was no alternative, they had to live." Source: As noted at http://www.rootsweb.com/~neethnic/czechs/cz-pg97a.html When Anton's son, Frank died in in 1933, the informant for the death certificate (Harry Soukup, a grandson of Anton) erroneously stated that Frank's father was also named Frank Soukup.

The members of R1b are believed to be the descendants of the first modern humans who entered Europe about 35,000-40,000 years ago. Those R1b forebearers were the people who painted the beautiful art in the caves in Spain and France. They were the contemporaries (and perhaps exterminators) of the European Neanderthals. R1b is the most common Y haplogroup in Europe - more than half of men of European descent belong to R1b. Fourteen of the 30 most common haplotypes in the YSTR.org database are typical of R1b. |

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. |

Glen Soukup, passed away on Tuesday March 1st, 2022, at home. Glen was born to Frank and Allene Soukup on Feb. 1st, 1942, in Lincoln, Nebraska. He attended Lincoln Public Schools, graduating from Lincoln High School in 1959. He then attended the University of Nebraska obtaining his undergraduate degree and was an esteemed member of the Golden Key Society. Glen then continued his education at the University of Nebraska College of Law earning a Juris Doctorate of Law in 1967. He was proud to have worked for Nebraska Governor James Exon's administration as Director of the State Technical Assistance Agency for several years. He then went on to pursue personal business ventures. Glen was a lifelong resident of Lincoln, spending a good portion of time at his fishing cabin/summer home, also known as "The Castle in the Canyon" located at Decker's, Colorado. Some of his favorite times were spent enjoying his specialty "Mountain Margaritas" and red beers, or a jack and coke on the upper deck. He loved watching the hummingbirds and afternoon showers from his canyon view veranda, evenings with Trudy breathing in the fresh mountain air, and all times spent with his favorite Golden Retriever, Dylan. Glen will be fondly remembered by family and friends for generously hosting so many at his beloved cabin, and for always sharing the beautiful sights the Colorado mountains had to offer. In earlier years he and his daughter Nicholle enjoyed spending time at his mother's farms near Crete and Wilber, experiencing nature and farm life while embracing their Czech culture with family. During the last few years though his health began to fail he did his best to maintain close relationships with family and friends and enjoyed many games of cards while partaking in a few adult beverages. Glen was preceded in death by his father Frank H. Soukup, mother Allene B. Tesar, brother Kenneth J. Tesar, sister-in-law Linda S. Soukup, and the best dog ever Dylan "Doolittle" Soukup. Glen is survived by daughter Nicholle Soukup of Norfolk, granddaughter Haleigh Kappel of Lincoln. grandson Holden Soukup of Central City, and great grandson Trace Reynolds of Lincoln. Brother Allen (Janice) Soukup, nephew Kelsey Soukup all of Lincoln, and niece Jessica (Michael) Zmek of Archer.

The Glen Soukup family would like to extend a very heartfelt, and appreciative THANK YOU to all whom helped Glen in recent years. Being very strong in his faith Glen would always say "the good Lord will take care of me", we may all now rest assured that has been done. (Courtesy of Dennis Belohlavy) |

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. |

Upon graduation, Leo wanted to attend Lincoln School of Commerce but his folks didn't have the money so he learned he could go to Bellevue NYA School, a government school. Stub Moor and Roy Hall, his buddies, weren't interested but two weeks later, here came Roy and Ray Hall and Stub. He received his room and board plus $10.80 a month and his training as a machinist helper.

He went around Omaha and shot grasshoppers. Heidtbrink sent him a letter that the military needed rifles and would return it after the war. So Leo took the gun apart and put his name on it, put it back together and was ready to give it to the military when it turned out that it was all a joke.

Woods Exchange, Crete, owned a beauty shop in Wilber, served as a visiting nurse in the Milligan, Tobias and Ohiowa areas. Married Edward Sysel in Nebraska City in 1933. Joined Edward in farming the Sysel homestead near Crete and in 1940 on the farm they bought by Parkersburg, Iowa. When Ed died suddenly in 1951 she took over the farm, eventually selling it and moving back to Crete with her daughters into the house she built and in which she resided until her death. Upon returning to Crete, Marie worked as an office nurse for Dr. Lewis Forney and later opened and operated a nursing home, "Sysel's Rest Haven," and an assisted-living facility, "Sysel's Manor." In 1969, Marie returned to farming, having bought a farm near Wellsburg, Iowa, which she managed until her death. Her longtime friends Ivan and Frances Slifer farmed the land, and when they retired, their son, Spencer and his wife, Cindy, continued farming the land. Being a widow at age 45 she raised her two daughters, ages 17 and 15 at the time, providing for their education at St. Elizabeth School of Nursing, Doane College and the University of Nebraska-Lincoln. She worked side-by-side with her husband, Ed, on the farm and after his death used her knowledge and skills to manage by herself each farm she owned. She was absolutely devoted to her daughters and their families and always put their welfare before her own. Last year at this time she traveled with her daughter Lorraine and Chuck in the Czech Republic, Germany and France. In May she attended special functions at the preschools of her great-grandchildren in Omaha and New York City. In June she was in California to celebrate Helen Marie and Richard's 50th wedding anniversary. She was blessed with marvelous health, living by herself in her own home until she was hospitalized approximately a week ago after suffering a fall. Words cannot express how much Marie's family and friends will miss her, but they are grateful for having been able to share with her the appreciation of her Czech heritage and especially her love of Czech music, her marvelous cooking skills, her joy in raising beautiful flowers and her optimistic, positive attitude toward life. Funeral services will be held at 11 a.m. Monday at Grace United Methodist Church, 1245 Juniper St., Crete. Visitation will begin at noon on Sunday. A prayer service will be at 7 p.m. Sunday at Kuncl Funeral Home, Crete. (Courtesy Dennis Belohlavy, 19 August 2006 Lincoln Journal Star) |
