• Name	Ruzena "Rosalie" Datel  [1, 2, 3]
  Nickname	Rosalie
  Born	14 Sep 1853	Kolec, Bohemia   [1]
  Gender	Female
  Died	Yes, date unknown
  Notes	Mrs. Rosalie Soukup (born Datel), another pioneer still living, says: "I experienced a great scare when two Indians came into my house and stood by the cradle, where lay our youngest. My husband had hidden several hundred dollars in currency in the clock, he was going to pay for a threshing machine. But nothing happened, the Indians left in peace. That was in 1876 or 1877.1 came here with my parents in 1867 and entered service in the family of Mr. Jilek (Ellick) in Fremont. Their physician was Dr. Brunner, and he thus came to know who I was. A few years later, after I had been married and was farming with my husband, I felt weak and worn. My husband took me to Fremont, to see the doctor, the same Dr. Brunner. He examined me, wrote a long prescription and told me to take it to the store. How surprised and delighted I was to find that the "prescription" was an order for beans, onions, apples, rice, cheese and other provisions, which the generous and kindly doctor, noting my undernourished condition, had prescribed and paid for. Such were our beginnings." --Another pioneer, Mrs. M. Janovec, remembers when they had nothing for weeks but ground corn meal, no fat, no milk. http://www.rootsweb.com/~neethnic/czechs/cz-pg97a.html

  Father	Josef "Joseph" Datel, Sr.,   b. Abt 1826, Bohemia ,   d. Abt 1902  (Age ~ 76 years)
  Mother	Anna Sukova,   b. Between 1836 and 1840, Bohemia ,   d. Aft 1930  (Age ~ 95 years)
  Married	One of the earliest settlers in the Morse Bluff vicinity was Joseph Datel and family. Mr. Datel was born in 1826 in Kolec, Czechoslovakia. His wife, Anna Sukova was born in Kobelinki, Austria. They were married in Austria on May 25, 1852, and came to America in 1867 bringing their seven children with them. One of the children died on the voyage and was buried at sea. The family first lived at Fort Madison, Iowa where Mr. Datel worked at his trade as a blacksmith. In 1871 they moved to Saunders County and located on a farm south of Morse Bluff. Here he farmed and did blacksmithing. He spoke and was able to read Bohemian, German and English. Mrs. Datel, however, never learned English. In 1882 they moved to North Bend where he bought a blacksmith shop. In all 12 children were born. Mr. Datel died in 1902 and his wife lived to be 94. (Courtesy of Don Matejka, his Source: http://www.rootsweb.com/~nesaunde/1983hist/saco83-p93.html) Caroline Mastny lists the children of Joseph Datel as: 1. Mary Datel Matejka 2. Elizabeth Datel Bloch 3. Emma Datel Howe 4. Rosalie Datel Soukup 5. Anna Datel 6. Caroline Datel Beznoska 7. James Datel, Perry, Oklahoma 8. Thomas Datel, Winners, South Dakota 9. Frank Datel, North Bend, Nebraska 10. Joseph Datel 11. Frankie Datel---Duplicate? should this be Willy? 12. Anton Datel I noted that Frank and Frankie were both shown as sons. I assumed Frankie was a duplicate, and did not list him. This should be researched further. Also, daughter Matildy, shown on the 1880 census is not listed. Perhaps this is the middle name of one of the other daughters, but for now I listed her, along with the other daughters. This also should be researched further.
