1 NOTE 1907 - Joseph Charles Pehoushek was born at home at 3740 30th Ave. So. Minneapolis, MN. Hous
2 CONC e is gone in 1991. But location is visible, one-half block North of 38th Street, near Hiawath
2 CONC a Ave. intersection. House stood where Hiawatha boulevard now runs. Alleyway behind house sti
2 CONC ll intact. Visited and photographed in 1991 by JWP & JCP.
2 CONT 
2 CONT He was named after his father, Joseph James Pehoushek and probably his Uncle Charles Pehoushe
2 CONC k, although he also had an Uncle Charles Praus and a grandfather Charles V. Praus.
2 CONT 
2 CONT 1909 - 1915  He went to Texas with family about 1909. Was in Colorado County Texas, outside E
2 CONC agle Lake on 25-26 April 1910 at time of U.S. Census. The family stayed until about 1915. Fat
2 CONC her Joseph James was a "Truck Farmer". Lived in small house about 3-4 miles North or NE of Ea
2 CONC gle Lake Texas. He was visited at least once by Uncle Jack Praus who was 7 years older than J
2 CONC CP.
2 CONT 
2 CONT 1915 - The family returned to Mpls, living at 619 20th Ave. South, in the lower half of a two
2 CONC -story duplex, where he remembers ice skating on his "strap-on" skates on the sidewalk in fro
2 CONC nt of the house. He lived here about a year around 1915-1916. He says they were poor enough t
2 CONC hat his mother rented out the front room to a boarder. The house is still there when visite
2 CONC d by JWP & JCP in May 1991.
2 CONT 
2 CONT Went to a school across the street from Grandma Praus' home at 327 20th or 21st Ave So (192
2 CONC 0 Census shows other families at both of these addresses). Dad thinks the school was named Cl
2 CONC ay. To the south a block or so was the old Bohemian Catholic Church "Our Lady of Perpetual He
2 CONC lp", Father Havorka attending.
2 CONT 
2 CONT 1916 - About 1916 or 17 the family had moved to 656 Erie St. S.E. This was torn down when the
2 CONC y built the "new" Motley School (now, in 1991, gone). The original Motley School was on the N
2 CONC orthwest corner of Oak St. and Washington Ave. In later years Stub and Herb Lewis ran a bee
2 CONC r joint across the street. JCP went to Motley school with them and 40 years later his son JW
2 CONC P and future daughter-in-law CCP had one of their first dates there on July 14th, 1957 shortl
2 CONC y after they met.
2 CONT 
2 CONT ca 1920 - While living at 656 Erie, his Dad, JJP rented the building at 630 (or 636) Erie Str
2 CONC eet and opened a store in it. This store was in operation for 3 or 4 years into 1920.
2 CONT 
2 CONT 1918 - The family moved into a lower four-plex at 624 Erie St. S.E. Mpls. in 1918 and staye
2 CONC d there until 1920. JWP has a book "Beautiful Joe" given to JCP by his father, JJP, with insc
2 CONC ription "To Joseph from Father", 624 Erie St. S.E., April 17, 1919. Also a book "Black Beauty
2 CONC " with the 624 Erie St. address and his name in it. Attended Motley grade school near home o
2 CONC n Erie St. until at least June 1920. Then went East high School until unceremoniously transfe
2 CONC rred to South High School because of some infraction of East's rules !
2 CONT 
2 CONT Rosemary says they lived at 636 Erie St. in a fourplex from 1917 to 1922, and farther down Er
2 CONC ie (lower number) for about a year.
2 CONT 
2 CONT At about this same time, his grandfather, Frantisek, owned a small store at 126 Warwick Stree
2 CONC t, while Frantiseks wife, and some of his children lived at 639 Erie Street.  JWP & JCP visit
2 CONC ed 639 Erie in May 1991. It was just purchased by the daughter of the 3rd owner since Frantis
2 CONC ek.
2 CONT

2 CONC ntil 1942 when he joined Northwest Airlines to serve the war effort.
2 CONT 
2 CONT Played baseball and footbal in various Minneapolis City Leagues under the name Joe "Peck", be
2 CONC cause "I got tired of all the different spellings". Robert Skonnord related many incidents o
2 CONC f his adventures with JCP to me (JWP) while they were both youths. Bob says that Joe ran arou
2 CONC nd, played ball with a really rough group of men. There was considerable brawling and drinkin
2 CONC g around and after the various games. JCP was usually the peacemaker in various scraps.

1 NOTE Apr 1846- born  Boehmen Koenigreich, Austria [IGI]
2 CONT 
2 CONT 15 Jan 1846 - Frantizek Pechoušek probably born in Budyn District (Budyn N'Ohre about 25km N
2 CONC W of Melnik), Bohemia, Austro-Hungary according to his death certificate information supplie
2 CONC d by his wife Rose.  Other documents show different dates:  1900 Census shows born April 1846
2 CONC , 54 years old on 9 Jun 1900;  1910 Census on 20 April 1910 shows 66 yrs old; his "Residenc
2 CONC y Certificate" cover sheet shows born 28 Jan 1846.1920 Census has him at 79 yrs.
2 CONT 
2 CONT Born or lived in Turmitz, Bohemia (now Trmice, 2-3 km SW of Usti nad Labem)) on Aussig ? Rive
2 CONC r, reportedly near Prague. However, since his Father and his younger brother were both born i
2 CONC n Melnik, it is safe to assume that he was as well. Perhaps Turmitz (now Trmice) is in Distri
2 CONC ct Melnik. Otakar Prachar reports in letter to me (3/26/95) "While in the area during our 197
2 CONC 8 visit I found there were 3 Vrutice villages: Melnicka Vrutice, Kropocova Vrutice, Benatsk
2 CONC a Vrutice. Note that Melnicka is the possesive form of Melnik, i.e. Melnicka Vrutice means Vr
2 CONC utice of Melnik (district)"
2 CONT 
2 CONT Reportedly was a seaman in German Navy. Then settled down, bought a small flour mill in Melni
2 CONC k, Bohemia, but was a very impractical businessman. Uncle Charlie reportedly took photograph
2 CONC s of the mill on one of his "trips back home".
2 CONT 
2 CONT The following from Grand Daughter Kay LaPlante, "to be taken with a grain of salt: Frank wa
2 CONC s a 'baron' with ties to an important family that once owned a large estate.  During an uphea
2 CONC val (many years before Frank's time), the family was forced to flee, but before they left the
2 CONC y buried the family treasure under a stone wall that surrounded the property.  The loot was n
2 CONC ever found, and to this day the family ghosts moan and cry over the treasure site
2 CONT 
2 CONT Borrowed $700 from brother Karel (after Karel and Josephine immigrated to Russia with 4 child
2 CONC ren). Went bankrupt. Got job on a merchant vessel. This story may hold a clue as to how he ca
2 CONC me to the U.S.
2 CONT 
2 CONT 1 Jan 1884 - A partial translation of a Declaration I have shows him canceling a lease he ha
2 CONC d on a flour mill at No. 45 Cenkov, called the Kopacov Mill, from the Horovive dominion. He h
2 CONC ad leased it from 1 Jan 1884 to end of Dec 1889. Cenkov is East of Hiway E55, about 15km N. o
2 CONC f Prague, about 2 km SE of Odolena Voda. Are visited by JWP in 2001. THIS IS PROBABLY INCORRE
2 CONC CT.... There is another Cenkov, 2 km SE of Jince, 10 km SE of Horovice, 13 km N of Pribram, w
2 CONC hich is probably the correct place.
2 CONT 
2 CONT 2 Oct 1887 -  According to a translation of the Declaration document, he cancels the lease o
2 CONC n Oct 2. 1887. This was, apparently shortly before he came to the U.S. We know he was in Bohe
2 CONC mia at least until the end of March 1888 because wife Rosalie gave birth to her last child bo
2 CONC rn in Bohemia (Mina) in Dec 1888. We believe he came alone to the U.S. Death Certificate say
2 CONC s on 20 Nov 1920 he had been in the U.S. 32 years. Was here for sure by 3 July 1893 when he b
2 CONC ought Life Insurance from Lodge.
2 CONT 
2 CONT 1888 - Came to U.S. in 1888 (1887 According to 1900 Census data, 1890 according to 1910 censu
2 CONC s, 1892 by 1920 census, and 1879 by some family notes). Date uncertain because daughter Minni
2 CONC e (Mina) was born Dec 1888 in Bohemia. So when did Frantizek leave Bohemia? He cancelled flou
2 CONC r mill lease in Oct 1887.  Most likely sometime after March 1888 when Mina would have been co
2 CONC nceived. Was the only brother to immigrate to United States. Reportedly landed in New Orlean
2 CONC s as a ship crewman, probably out of Hamburg. Some family stories say he landed in New York a
2 CONC nd promptly had his luggage stolen, including his papers. Family lore also says he intended t
2 CONC o go to St. Paul, because he was a miller, but because of language difficulties, he ended u
2 CONC p in St. Louis by mistake. So he walked from St. Louis, Mo to St. Paul, Minnesota. Made his w
2 CONC ay to Minneapolis with the goal of getting a job at Pillsbury Mills. Worked at all kinds of c
2 CONC ommon labor in Minneapolis. He wound up working in a cigar factory in St. Paul because Pillsb
2 CONC ury wouldn't hire him until he could speak English. He was fairly well educated for his time
2 CONC . Could speak German which was the official language in Austria-Hungary. Before they left Eur
2 CONC ope, none of the children had been allowed to speak Bohemian in school.This point is disputab
2 CONC le, as children of other brothers spoke Bohemian and passed it along to their children - as r
2 CONC eported by Otakar Prachar, who speaks Czech. Grandpa Frank deplored this and started small cl
2 CONC asses for immigrant children in Bohemian when they settled in Minneapolis.  He also spoke som
2 CONC e French and did wind up working briefly for Pillsbury Mills. 1900 Census says he was a "Mill
2 CONC er".
2 CONT 
2 CONT Newspaper story of "Aunt Bess's" death says Frantizek came in 1888, then he brought Frank an
2 CONC d Bertha in 1890, then his wife and FOUR youngest children in 1893. This doesn't account fo
2 CONC r Wilhelmina who reportedly had been born in Bohemia. 1910 census says Rosalie, Bertha,Charle
2 CONC s and Mina came in 1894 (Joseph James probably came in 1894 too, but he had moved from home b
2 CONC y 1910 census). Because Veronica was born in Minnesota in 1894, I believe Rosalie and childre
2 CONC n came in 1893.
2 CONT 
2 CONT ca. 1890 - "Two years after arriving bought a small house and lot for $900, then sent for fam
2 CONC ily". [Family legend]
2 CONT 
2 CONT 29 March 1893 - When young Frank died, Frantizek was living at 736 Lenox. 
2 CONT 
2 CONT 3 July 1893 - Was member of the "Grand Lodge of the Ancient Order of United Workmen of the St
2 CONC ate of Minnesota, Bridal Veil Lodge No. 108"... carried $2000 Beneficiary Certificate (Insura

2 CONT  I had been told by my grandmother (Eliz. V. Praus Pehoushek) that her grandmothers maiden na
2 CONC me was Czerne, or Czerny. Marie's Death Certificate information, as given by a "son", says he
2 CONC r father was Joseph Cech. In addition, her daughter Marie's Death Certificate shows her mothe
2 CONC r's name as Marie Cech.

2 CONT Writing about her connection to Mary Cech, Elaine Maddox says "I do not know how Mary Cech i
2 CONC s related.  I am trying to determine the connection to an infant's baptism in about 1882.  Ma
2 CONC ry Cech was the sole godparent.  I suspect the baptism was hurried in anticipation of the inf
2 CONC ant's death.  It is recorded by the St. John Nepomucene Roman Catholic Church in Chicago.  M
2 CONC y grandparents lost two infants in Chicago in 1881-3 and Mary Cech is very definitely the god
2 CONC parent for the one baptism. My grandparents lived in a section of Chicago populated by German
2 CONC s, Poles, Czechs, and other Eastern Europeans, and I have definite knowledge from the Censu
2 CONC s that they did live on Portland Avenue in that time frame." <etainetm@starpower.net> 9 Apri

2 CONT 
2 CONT Correspondence from Mildred Prachar Peterson May 1995 in hands of J. W. Pehoushek names his c
2 CONC hildren. Had two other children died as infants.
2 CONT 
2 CONT According to Charles Pechoušek in Sept. 2001, Karel was a blacksmith. He also lived in Budy
2 CONC n and had a flour mill.
2 CONT 
2 CONT Emigrated to Russia with Josephine and four children after loaning brother Frantizek $700. Mo
2 CONC ved to Russia in 1885, Anna Plzak going with them. "His death was largely result of hardship
2 CONC s during WW I: fleeing with son's family from fighting, becoming separated from them, etc." .
2 CONC .. Helen Pehoushek.
2 CONT 
2 CONT "Her (Emma Pechousek) father, Karel, left Melnicka Vrutice in the 1880s and immigrated to Rus
2 CONC sia with his family to pursue his vocation of miller." ...... Otakar Prachar
2 CONT 
2 CONT Karel contracted pnuemonia and nearly died.  Couldn't work for months. The family was destitu
2 CONC te and Josephine sold off every precious piece from her dowry.  They wrote to Frantizek for m
2 CONC oney, but none ever came.
2 CONT 
2 CONT Karel was also an alcoholic and even though a very good millwright he had a terrible time kee
2 CONC ping a job.  "I never heard this story from anyone except his daughter, Emma Prachar.  My fat
2 CONC her and his daughter Anna had the greatest respect for their father.  was a religious man (a
2 CONC t sunrise on Easter Sundays always knelt in prayer in his garden. Family had many quotes of h
2 CONC is humurous sayings)"...Helen Pehoushek
2 CONT 
2 CONT "My mother was apparently more sensitive to her father's occasional intemperance and the effe
2 CONC ct it had on their welfare.  She also loved and respected her father. I remember her crying s
2 CONC oftly upon learning of his death after WWI.  A large framed picture of him had a prominent pl
2 CONC ace in our home." ..... Otakar Prachar
2 CONT 
2 CONT "My mother loved her father very much as did all the children.  She knew more about the circu
2 CONC mstances than did the older boys, like Helen's father, who had all left home- some of them ma
2 CONC rried by that time. She never used the term "alcoholic", never spoke of her father being drun
2 CONC k or abusive.  What he did was stop at the tavern on payday and blow most of his wages, mor
2 CONC e like an irresponsible bachelor than a family man.  Perhaps he found some solace in vodka af
2 CONC ter the death of his beloved wife (at 43 years)." ......... Mildred Prachar Peterson
2 CONT 
2 CONT 
2 CONT Peterson, Mildred E. in private Correspondence to J. W. Pehoushek enclosed a copy of a lette
2 CONC r from "Uncle Josef after World War I". It reads, in part "our beloved father died while we w
2 CONC ere still in Berenstva u Charnovski. He was sick all winter with stomach problems until he fi
2 CONC nally died. Fana came in the evening from Poltava, and in the morning he died. The 21st of Ma
2 CONC rch, 1918.  We buried the poor man in a foreign land, but with a nice burial.  Fana and I fix
2 CONC ed up the little grave, and I made a good oak cross, and so we left him there."
