Notes:

The son of Jacob KASAK and Katherine KALNY. He came to Milligan around 1870, with his two children, John and Barbara. There is no proof his wife came with them. If she died here, she would have been buried in the Kasak cemetery that has no markers. He homesteaded the E 1/2 SW 1/4 of Section 30 in Turkey Creek Township of Saline County. This tract of land was sold to his daughter, Barbara KOLAR, after his death. He filed a second homestead, the W 1/2 SW 1/4 of Section 30 in Turkey Creek Township, and contracted as well for the E 1/2 SW 1/4 of Liberty Township in Fillmore County. His son, John Jr., took over this land after his father's death. He eventually gave the land to his son, Peter KASAK. His obituary states he dropped dead about three-quarters of a mile from his home when he started out for cattle. (Milligan, p 323).

Jan married Marie Simacek between 1850 and 1858. Marie (daughter of Matej "Mike" Simacek, Sr. and Marie ???) was born before 1829 in Bohemia; and died. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

She may have died either in Bohemia, or soon after they arrived in Nebraska.

The Milligan Centennial book listed her date of birth as January 28, 1840. This does not appear to be correct, as her son John Kasak, Jr. born in 1850.

It is noted that the birthdates shown for Jan Kasak's first and second wife, Marie Simacek and Alzbeta "Elizabeth" Cizek, as shown in the Milligan Centennial book, are IDENTICAL. This appears to be in error.

Frank married Veronika Urban. Veronika was born before 1828; and died. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]
