Wencil K. DVORAK, William J. DVORAK and unknown other 4 men
This is my great grandfather, Wencil K. DVORAK, ca. 1849-1927, one of his sons, my grandfather, William Joseph DVORAK, 1893-1978, and 4 unknown men. Grandpa is the short man in the back second from left. If anyone can identify the other 4 men, please do so. I would appreciate it immensely!
Date & Place:
at Possibly Muscoda in Possibly Grant County, Possibly Wisconsin USA
My DVORAKS came from a tiny town called Dudin which is in the Czech Republic, southeast of Nelahozeves which is where Antonin DVORAK, the great composer, came from, in 1841. This is only 8 years before the year of birth of my great grandparents, Vaclav and Mary, who, by the way, were both DVORAKs before they married each other. They were married in Bohemia (Today, the Czech Republic), and they left with Frank and Vaclav, their two eldest sons, in 1881, arrived in Hamburg, Germany, and boarded ship SS Frisia, to travel to America, arrived at the port of New York City. From there, they took a train all the way to Muscoda, Grant County, Wisconsin, where they then made their homestead until the day they died, having on the way, two more sons, Joseph John, and William Joseph, who was my grandfather. Grandfather left Muscoda after WWI and was in South Bend, Indiana, by 1926. There, he engaged, and married Eulalia Suzanne NIESEN, where they had 4 children, 3 boys, one girl. Their second eldest son was my father, who survives today. Also surviving is one brother, and their sister. I have very many cousins, aunts and uncles, from the marriage of my father and my mother. Sadly my grandparents, Eulalia, and William, died many years ago, back in the 1970s and 1980s.
Vaclav (Wencil) K. Dvorak, (my great grandfather), his son William
Wencil K. DVORAK, my paternal great grandfather, his son (My grandfather) William Joseph DVORAK, and some other unknown men on a street with construction tools, pick axes, shovels, and the like. Dating the photo postcard was pretty simple. I found a guide online about figuring dates of picture postcards, and based on the markings of the area where you put the stamp on the back, this postcard is dated between 1904-1925. It's one of those old AZO photograph postcards. If anybody has these, I can help date them if you would like.
I'm trying to identify who the other men with my grandfather are. Grandfather, William Joseph Dvorak is the second man from the left...
Date & Place:
at Muscoda in Muscoda Grant County, Wisconsin United States
The age of my grandpa in this photo is 18. So that makes the date of the photo 1911/1912....depending on what part of the year it is..Grandpa being born on Sept 28, 1893.
This might not be Muscoda after all. One said it could be Highland, Grant County, Wisconsin. I still don't know where it is. If anybody viewing this has any clue where it might be, please let me know. THANKS
