John Jirousek, b. Kvetov, Cecko-Slovakia; mo Anastazie Turnovsky [sic-wife], informant; Anastazie [wife]; undertaker W. E. Jirousek [bro], 12910 Miles Avenue. [Not viewed by Melinda Strong, unable to find in index].
There appear to have been several Frank Jirousek's in Cleveland during this same time period.
Frank was not still at home as of the 1900 census, but has not yet located as a head of household in 1900.
The 1900 Cleveland City Directory lists two Frank Jirousek's on p. 546:
Jirousek, Frank lab.r. 38 Svoboda
Jirousek, Frank lab.r. 54 Pleasant
Along with the Frank Jirousek heading a household in 1910 census consisting of himself, wife Stella, and two children, a still single Frank Jirousek can also be found on the 1910 census:
Ohio, Cuyahoga County, 16-ward Cleveland, ED 241
Jerousek, Frank Hd M W 23 Single Ohio Aust/Bohemia Aust/Bohemia English Laborer/Automobile
Frank appears to have ded in 1921, as per the following cemetery records:
This also matches the record Kay Rybak cites above, showing he died at age 50, which would have put his year of death in 1921. Franks mother Theresa Beznoska was also interred at the Calvary Cemetery, as was his brother William and sister Rose.
He it appears likely that he died prior to 1929, as his father's obituary stated that "three sons had predeceased him." Additonally, most of his father's adult sons are mentioned later in the 1942 obituary of a sibling, with the exception of Frank, Frederick and Edward.
However, the 1930 census enumeration for Anastasia "Stella" Jirousek and her children still shows a living Frank Jirousek, age 58, as head of household. This may be in error, or maybe the death information should read 1931 versus 1921.
It also appears, from the obituary below, that (a second?) Frank Jirousek lived in Cleveland, and was married to Marie Kus.

I couldn't locate this family in 1910.
However, in 1920, Frederick, still working as a custom Tailor, was listed as a widow and living with his sister Mary, and her husband Edward WILL in Cleveland.
He probably died prior to 1929, as his father's obituary stated that "three sons had predeceased him." Most of his father's adult sons are mentioned later in the 1942 obituary of a sibling, with the exception of Frank, Frederick and Edward.

The following was excerpted from a translation of Jan Jirousek's obituary. It was written by Al. Zak and translated by Betty Stribrny.
Jan Jirousek was a true and generous type of Czech immigrant from Tabor. He was a man of vigorous heart and true and Christian love. He was born in Kvet near Milevska in Czechy, area Tabor...the son of a poor farmer. His father died unexpectedly and his mother, loving her children dearly, never remarried but took care of the farm herself. His schooling was very short as was that of most village boys of that area. He came to this country in 1866, about 19 years old. In fact, he arrived on his namesday, St. Jan Nepomocene, May 16 and on the Fourth of July the same year he played in a holiday parade downtown. In a few years after his arrival in Cleveland, Mr. Jirousek married a very young girl of the family Beznoska. The wedding supper was held at the bride's home on the north side, the now gone Croton Street, near the old Forest Street. The wedding dance was held in one of the first Czech inns....during the festivities...an oil lamp was knocked over...and a conflagaration started. Everyone attempted to save themselves. The men helped the women to escape as did the young groom who saved his young bride. The fire was quickly extinguished and in the middle of the floor where a hold had been burnt through the men placed empty beer barrels and the dance continued....
For many years Mr. Jirousek was employed as a cooper. For 20 years he was an active musician. He was also the superintendant of the coopers at Standard Oil company, where under his guidance worked many Czech musicians and other of his countrymen. After the invention of metal barrels, Mr. Jirousek became a real estate dealer. He was the one that did the most to enable fellow Czechs to purchase homes...For sometime, E. 53 off Fleet Avenue was named for him.
He was a devoted Democrat. For many years he worked as an inspector of bridges for the city, and as foreman for street paving and as an inspector for voitng booths, until the year 1915 when his age demanded a retirement...
He was also a great worker in Catholic circles. Twice he became president of the First Central Czech-Catholic Unit. He was among the first of those who worked towards the building of the little church St. Vaclav, on Arch and Burwell Streets...
In the 1880s he wrote in the St. Louis "Hlasu" and "Volnosti" (Voice and Freedom) small articles of a satyrical nature and later he even wrote stories into the "American." His nom de plume for the St. Louis articles was J. Kvetovsky (his home town).
Several times he opened a business but poor economic and work conditions caused him to fail. Another reason was the fact that he had a symphathetic nature and a big heart for the poor which made it difficult for him to prosper....
At his coffin was his faithful, grieving wife of 60 years, who shared the ups and downs of life with him and raised 15 children and lost three sons prior to his own death. Their last eldest son, William, is now traveling in Europe visiting this parent's homeland. It will be a terrible blow to him when he returns to find his beloved father gone.
(Courtesty of Caroline Mastny, Schuyler, Nebraska)
Kay Rybak noted his Ohio death certificate was #69505; and showed him as 82 years, 3 months, 2 days of age, and married to Theresa. They had resided on 12922 Marston at the time of his death, and his widow, Theresa, was the informant.

Kay Rybak notes that in 1930, the widowed Theresa, age 76, was still in Cleveland, on 12910 Marston.
Caroline Mastny shows him as married to a Bertha, and being the father of Leonard. However, based on the 1900 census records for the household of John and Bertha Jirousek, it first appeared that the John Jirousek who married Bertha CIPRA was born in May 1862, which would rule out Jan Jirousek and Terezie Beznoska as his parents, based on their own years of birth. But based on his FindAGrave memorial page--and the photo of his tombstone on that page--he was actually born in 1869, about the same time Jan and Terezie Jirouseks' son was said to be born. The obituary for the John Jirousek, married to Bertha Cipra, does mention son Leonard, but no mention is made of John's parents or siblings.
There was a younger John Jirousek living in Cleveland in 1900, whose age would also make him as a candidate to be a son of Jan and Theresia. This other John Jirousek was living in Cuyahoga County, Cleveland, Ward 39, and his family was listed as follows:
1900 Census
Jirousek John Hd Aug 1871 Mr/5 yrs Aug 1871 Ohio Bohemia Bohemia Blanket Mill
Jirousek, Mary Wf Aug 1876 Mr/5 yrs 2/2 Ohio Bohemia Bohemia

Id#: 0561446 Name: Jirousek, John Date: Nov 18 19? Source: Plain Dealer; Cleveland Necrology File, Reel #121. Notes: Beloved husband of the late Bertha; dear father of the late Leanard. Friends received at Corrigan's Funeral Home, Lorain Ave. at W. 148th St. Funeral mass Saturday, Nov. 18, St. Mel's Church at 9:30 a. m.
It should also be noted that yet a third John Jirousek, this one born Nov 1849 in Bohemia & married to an Anna, was living nearby the above family. As was the younger John Jirousek, he too was employed in the Blanket Mill. His wife Anna was listed as being the mother of 6 children, 5 still living, and only three of those still it home. So the John Jirousek born in August 1871 might have been a son of either John and Theresia Jirousek, or of John and Mary Jirousek, or of another Jirousek family entire. I was not able to find the family of John, Mary, Lillian and John in subsequent census enumerations.
As might be expected, their were three John Jirousek's listed in the 1900 Cleveland City Directory.
