Frank Hrdy, Sr.

Notes:

Frank finished business school in Bohemia when he was just 14. He worked in stores in Bohemia as an apprentice in Novy Bydzov, Horni, Jeleni and Holici. To avoid being drafted into the military, he moved to American in 1882, and worked as a clerk in Chicago for two years. Deciding the town was too small and too slow, he and a friend spent some seven weeks walking to New York. He worked as a clerk in a grocery store, eventually buying the business and running it himself for another 10 years. He married, and moved in Cedar Rapids, Iowa in 1893, and on to Milligan in 1895. Here he purchased the mercantile business of A.V. Kouba. (Milligan, p 306).

Frank married Aloise Stepanek about 1884 in New York City, New York County, New York. Aloise was born on 24 Jun 1860 in Kasljovice, Bohemia; died on 21 Jul 1947 in Milligan, Fillmore County, Nebraska; was buried in Bohemian National Cemetery (Milligan South), Milligan, Fillmore County, Nebraska.
