Yaroshek

John (Johanas) YAROSHEK and his wife Barbara (Barbora) KNALLY were born in Bohemia, about 1824 and 1831. They were my gg-grandparents. I have no idea where they lived in Bohemia, or when they were married. I have no information about their parents or siblings. They immigrated to America, along with 3 children, in the mid 1860's. The records vary as to their dates of birth, and the name is spelled in many different ways. This family is a good illustration of what I call the Fundamental Principle of Genealogy.

The name KNALLY comes from only one reference, which is the marriage record for John and Barbara's son, Joseph. It doesn't sound like a Bohemian name.

The family first appears on the 1870 Census, in Salt Creek Township, Tama County, Iowa, under the name JURUSHAK. (Chelsea is in Salt Creek Township, so they lived near Chelsea.)

These dates can't be correct, if Barbora is Josephine's mother. If we can believe the dates for Joseph and Anne, the family immigrated between 1863 and 1866. John is listed as a farmer, and owner of a farm worth $100. That would be a very small farm!

The Atlas of Tama County (1875) has a plat map of Salt Creek Township, showing a 40-acre farm under the name J. JARUSECK, about 1.5 miles north of Chelsea.

The 1880 Census has the family, still in Salt Creek Township, under the name JARUSHEK.

1880 US Census

These dates are only a year or two later than those obtained from the 1870 Census, except that Barbara's date is 9 years earlier. This is more credible. Note also that Anna's birth place is now Md, which must mean Maryland. Perhaps the family immigrated in 1865-1867 and stayed in Maryland long enough to have a child. Family lore says that the family arrived at the port in Baltimore, and either Anna or Barbara was born in Maryland. The 1900 Census says that John Sr and Barbara Sr both immigrated in 1870.

Josephine YAROSHEK married Frank Valenta on 29 Feb 1880. I don't know where they were on 1 Jun 1880, when the census was taken, but the marriage accounts for her absence from the list above.

Mary YAROSHEK is found in the household of Charles Gore, in 1880, employed as a maid. She married Frank

CHALOUPEK on 30 Oct 1880, and they moved to Belle Plaine. Frank and Mary were my great grandparents.

The Haloupek Family Bible says that "Grandma died May 27th 1889." I'm pretty sure it is referring to Barbara (KNALLY) YAROSHEK.

There isn't much information available for the period 1880-1895. The 1885 Iowa State Census didn't cover Tama County (or Benton, Poweshiek Counties, either), and the 1890 US Census was mostly destroyed by a fire in 1921. The next records I have for any of the YAROSHEKs comes from the 1895 Iowa State Census. This is also the first occurrence of the YAROSHEK spelling.

There was also a John YAROSHEK (spelled both YAROSHEK and YARSHIEK), living in the household of Gus LEBER, in Jefferson Township. This was probably the son of John and Barbara, working as a farmhand.

It might be a stretch to conclude that the Joseph YAROSHEK who showed up in Poweshiek County is the same as Joseph JURUSHEK who lived in Tama County. However, the dates are only 2 years apart, and the census takers at this time seem to have been very sloppy. Also, the two townships are adjacent, so the move could not have been more than 10 miles. Finally, it appears that Joseph's father, John, has moved in with Joseph's family.

It is even possible that Frank YAROSHEK in Poweshiek County, 1895 is Frank JURUSHEK from Tama County, 1880. The estimated birth dates are 7 years apart. However, they were both born in Tama County, and both moved to Poweshiek. I think they are probably the same.

In 1895, John Sr is listed as widowed and disabled. So Barbara Sr passed away between 1880 and 1895. Frank is listed as single and disabled. I don't know what John and Frank's disabilities were. They are both listed as illiterate, which might explain the variances in spellings and dates.

Since Carrie was born in 1890, Poweshiek County, the move from Tama to Poweshiek must have taken place between 1880 and 1890.

So I think that Joseph married Emma, moved to Poweshiek, they had children Carrie, Julia and Jennie, and his father and brother moved in with them. I don't know where Joseph's sisters Anna and Barbara were in 1895. They would have been 28 and 25.

The 1896 Atlas of Powesheik County, Iowa, shows a small farm (80 acres) under the name of Joseph YAROSHEK, in west central Jefferson Township, about 5 miles south of Chelsea. You can see the map here.

By 1900, Joseph and Emma's family had grown to include 7 children. The 1900 US Census for Jefferson Township, Poweshiek County, Iowa shows the following YAROSHEKs.

There are several curious features in this data. John is listed as Head of household, with wife Emmie, which is clearly wrong. Carrie through Joseph must be the children of Joseph and Emmie. It looks like Jennie from 1895 became James in 1900. How can Albert and Joseph have the same mother, if they were born 6 months apart? Also, why is Frank F. YAROSHEK listed as boarder? Isn't he the brother of Joseph, and the son of John?

In south central Salt Creek Township, a small (80 acre) farm belonged to Joseph HOLAN, Jr. This must be the site of the Holan Cemetery, which contains the graves of Wife of John YAROSHEK, d. 27 May 1900, age 57 (so she was born between 27 May 1842 and 27 May 1843) and Frank YAROSHEK, d. 24 Sep 1907, age 37 (so he was born between 24 Sep 1869 and 24 Sep 1870). They share the same headstone. These dates don't seem to match up with our Barbara and Frank, but there has to be some connection.

This Wife of John Yaroshek, on the gravestone, can't be Barbara. The Chaloupek Family Bible says Barbara died in 1889, and the 1895 Iowa State Census lists John as a widower. Maybe John Yaroshek remarried between 1895 and 1900, and his step son Frank took the Yaroshek name. Or perhaps there was another John Yaroshek.

John Yaroshek (1824) moved to Austin, MN with his son Joseph and family. He died on 11 Aug 1913.

Summary of the YAROSHEKS so far:

John and Barbara immigrated from Bohemia, with either 2 or 3 children, in the mid 1860's, and settled in Salt Creek Township, near Chelsea, Tama County, Iowa. They had more children, for a total of 7.

Barbara passed away on 27 May 1889, less than a month after her son Joseph's marriage to Emma BARTACHEK. John went to live with son Joseph and his family, until his death on 11 Aug 1913.

As you can see from the data above, most of the names and dates for this family are known only approximately. John and Barbara were barely literate, even in Czech, and they never learned to speak English. There were enough Czechs in Iowa for them to talk to, but apparently, they couldn't communicate very well with the census takers! The list below contains my best estimates.

Josephine, the eldest, married Frank VALENTA. They had 15 children, and lived in Elberon, Tama County, Iowa.

The next eldest was Mary, who married Frank CHALOUPEK. They were my great grandparents, and they lived in Belle Plaine, Benton County, Iowa, just 7 miles east of Chelsea. See the CHALOUPEK page for more about them.

Next was Joseph, who married Emma BARTACEK, and their family moved to Mower County, Minnesota.

I don't know what happened to Anna or Barbara, after 1880.

John Michael, the second youngest, was born in 1873 in Tama County, Iowa. He married Antonia STARITS, moved to northern Minnesota, and started spelling his name YAROUSEK or JAROUSEK.

Frank, the youngest, was disabled in some way, and he lived with his brother Joseph and family, along with their father, John. Frank never married or had children, died in 1907, and is buried in Tama County, Iowa.

So you can find more information about Mary on the CHALOUPEK page. I don't know any more about Anna, Barbara Jr. or Frank Jr. The decendants of Josephine, Joseph and John Michael are described below.

Josephine YAROSHEK married Frank VALENTA. They had 15 children, and lived in Elberon, Tama County, Iowa.

Frank VALENTA was born in Bohemia, about 1848. He first married Anna DVORAK, and they had a daughter, Anna V. VALENTA, b. 13 Dec 1873, Bohemia. Frank was a cobbler by trade. The family came to America in 1875, along with Frank's mother, Sophia. That was the beginning of their troubles.

Frank's wife, Anna, died on the voyage, and was buried at sea, off New York harbor. Then Frank, with his daughter and mother, came to Chelsea, Iowa.

Frank VALENTA was not a poor immigrant, as he had brought with him enough money to buy a small farm, with machinery and livestock. He made a down payment, but loaned the rest of his money to someone, who never paid it back, so he lost the farm. So the family found a home near Elberon, and Frank worked as a farm hand.

Frank and Josephine were married on 29 Feb 1880. Their first 7 children died in childhood, with at least 4 in one 8-day period, from 9 Feb to 17 Feb 1890. It must have been an influenza epidemic, or diptheria. The first was Mary, almost 7. The next day Eddie, the youngest, at 16 months. The day after that, Joseph, who had just turned 4. Six days later, 9-year-old Frank Jr, the oldest. There were three others - John, Peter, and a third unnamed, but the gravestones have no dates. The couple was left with only Anna, from Frank's first marriage, who was 16.

Things started to look up. In 1890, probably after February, Carolyn was born. They had Frances in 1893, Celesta in 1895, and twins Edward and Estella in 1898. But in 1899, Carolyn died at age 9, and Winfred was born, and died at birth.

Frank had resumed his trade as a cobbler, and ran a shoe shop in the Elberon Hotel. The family lived above the shop. But 1900, he had closed the shop, started working for the railroad, and built a house in town.

Ida came along in 1900, and Fred Joseph in 1903. Out of 15 kids, only Frances, Celesta, Edward, Estella, Ida and Fred lived to adulthood, along with their older half-sister, Anna.

On 1 Feb 1905, during a blizzard at night, Frank was called out to remove some snow from the railroad tracks. Somehow, he was hit and cut in half by a train. It was the end of a very hard 30 years for Frank VALENTA.

Joseph YAROSHEK married Emma BARTACEK, and their family moved to Mower County, Minnesota.

The 1905 Iowa State Census for Salt Creek Township, Tama County, gives only names and post office addresses. The YAROSHEK household of 12 was listed, with post office address Chelsea, as follows:

1905 Iowa State Census

Joseph, Emma, Parrie, Julia, James, Mary, Charlie, Albert, Aggie, Edvard, John, Fraker.

Obviously, Parrie is Carrie, and Charlie is Charles. Young Joseph, who would have been about 5, was no longer with the family. Aggie and Edvard were born between 1900 and 1905. John may be the grandfather, who would be about 81, or another child. If we believe that the John YAROSHEK buried in Holan Cemetery is Joseph's father, then this John is probably Joseph's brother. Fraker is probably Frank. So now Joseph has two of his brothers living with him.

By 1910, Joseph and Emma had moved their family about 150 mile north, to Lyle Township, Mower County, Minnesota. The 1910 US Census shows them with 8 children. The last name is spelled YAROSHAK, but I think it's the same family.

John and Frank have not come with them. It was probably John Sr and Frank in the Holan Cemetery, despite the discrepancy in dates. For more about John Jr, see below. Young Charles would have been about 12, but he is no longer with the family. The new addition is Emma. Since Albert was born in Iowa and Aggie in Minnesota, the move seems to have have taken place in the period 1899-1902. But they were still in Iowa for the 1905 Census. Maybe they moved back and forth a few times. Otherwise, it's hard to say which record is mistaken.

The 1910 Census also shows Carrie, still in Chelsea, working as a servant in the Joseph BLAZEK household. It appears that Carrie was recorded twice in the 1910 Census. The date on the census sheet from Iowa is 15 Apr 1910, and on the Minnesota form it is 16 May, 1910, more than a month later.

The U.S. World War II Army Enlistment Records lists Edward J. YAROSHEK, born 1904 in Iowa. At the time of enlistment, 1 Nov 1942, he was living in Duval, Florida. If this is our Edward, then we have, from the Florida Death Index, his birth date 21 Aug 1903, and death 12 Mar 1978, in Pinellas, FL. And his middle name is John. Furthermore, he divorced Katherine RANCH in 1935, and Ruth K. YAROSHEK in 1942, both in Duval, FL. Presumably, the second divorce was related to the enlistment. However, the Florida State Census lists his birthplace as Wisconsin. This may be the wrong Edward.

We can get a few more bits and pieces of information from the state records. The state of Iowa has a record of the marriage of Joseph YAROSHEK (b. 1864, Bohemia) and Emma BARTOCHEK (b. 1869, Bohemia), in the city of Tama, IA, on 30 Apr 1889. Now we know Emma's maiden name. Furthermore, Joseph's parents are John YAROSHEK and Barbara KNALLY, and now we know Barbara's maiden name. Finally, Emma's parents are John BARTSCHEK and Kate VARMA. Now we have Emma's mother's maiden name, and another spelling of BARTOCHEK.

The state of Iowa also records the birth of Albert L. YAROSHEK, on 11 Jul 1898, in Jefferson, Poweshiek, IA, to parents Joes. H. YAROSHEK and Emma BARTUCHEK. We have picked up an exact birth date for Albert, middle initials for Albert and Joseph, and yet another spelling for BARTOCHEK. Federal records also indicate that an Albert YAROSHEK was sent to the US Penitentiary at Leavenworth, KS, on 25 Jul 1931. See below for Albert's story.

The state of Minnesota records the death of Emma YAROSHEK, on 29 Sep 1910, in Mower County, MN. Is it the mother (b. 1868 or 1870) or the daughter (b. 1907)? I doubt that there was a third Emma YAROSHEK in Mower County, 1910.

The California Death Index has Agnes Barbara YAROSHEK, b. 10 Dec 1901 in Iowa, d. 15 Mar 1979 in Kern, CA. That's probably our Agnes, but you can't be sure.

In the 1920 US Census, the number of people in the US with names like JAROSIAK, JAROSAK, JAROSEK, YURASEK, JURASIK, JUROSEK, JURASEK, JAROSZEK, JAROSIK, etc, has greatly increased since 1910. I don't know if any of them are related to me. Still, the only occurrence of the spelling YAROSHEK that I can find in 1920 is the family in Mower County, MN. This time they are living in Austin, Ward 2, which is just north of Lyle Township.

So it must have been the child, Emma, who died in 1910.

Julia YAROSHEK was now living with the STANEK family, also in Austin Ward 2.

It seems that Julia's sister, Caroline "Carrie" YAROSHEK married Albert STANEK, and in 1920 they already had 5 children. Albert was also born in Iowa, so it looks like Carrie left her job as a servant in the BLAZEK household, married Albert, and persuaded him to move to Minnesota.

It turns out that Albert STANEK was the grandson of Frank and Katherine (PRAGR) STANEK, who were my 3g-grandparents, making Albert and me first cousins, 3x removed. So the children of Albert and Caroline are related to me in two ways. There is more information on the STANEK page, including a family picture, showing Albert at age 15. See also the PRAGR page.

Minnesota records also list:

Joseph YAROSHEK d. 17 Feb 1933, in Mower County, MN

Emma YAROSHEK d. 3 Jul 1935, in Mower County, MN

The JAROUSEKS in Northern Minnesota

John Michael JAROUSEK (YAROUSEK, YAROSHEK) was born in Chelsea, Tama County, Iowa, on 18 Feb 1873. His parents were John (Johanas) YAROSHEK and Barbara (Barbora) KNALLY (see above). He only had a 4th grade education. From his obituary:

We had suspected that John's mother, Barbara, had passed away between 1880 and 1895. Since it happened when John was 12, that makes it about 1885. Also, although we still don't know what happened to sisters Josephine, Anna and Barbara, we now know that they had passed before John's death, which was 11 Mar 1956.

It seems odd that brothers John and Joseph both moved their families from Iowa to Minnesota, about the same time, but to completely different parts of the state. Joseph was in southeastern Minnesota, close to the Iowa border. John ended up in north central Minnesota, close to the Canadian border.

The 1910 US Census for Wellington Township (which contains Fairfax), Renville County, MN lists the following JAROUSEK family.

Now it seems doubtful that this John is the one listed in the Joseph YAROSHEK household in the 1905 Iowa State Census. He was already married and had one child by then, and they are not in the household.

Tiena is Antonia Barbara (STARITS) JAROUSEK, b. 27 Sep 1883 in Chelsea, IA. Incidentally, she is the granddaughter of Albert "Vojtech" and Elnora (PRAGR) CHALOUPEK, so she is part of the Vlceves branch of CHALOUPEKs. She was a distant relative of mine even before she married into the JAROUSEK family. See the PRAGR page for this.

Tiena is remembered by Annie (ANDERSON) HABERLE (thanks Mary!):

Mary adds that Tina died in Roseau, MN, not Canada. I don't know how Elizabeth became Louise Kathryn.

Fairfax is in Renville County, south central Minnesota, more than 100 miles northwest of Joseph's home in Mower County. Atwater is in Kandiyohi County, still in south central Minnesota. Baudette, Hiwood and Roosevelt are way up north, in Lake of the Woods County, on the Canadian border. (The county names and boundaries have changed over the years.)

The JAROUSEK family appears in Morris Township, Beltrami County, MN in 1920.

Edward Joseph was born later in 1920. Why the 12 year gap between the girls and the boys?

Albert Louis YAROSHEK, son of Joseph and Emma

Albert was sentenced to two years in prison, at the Federal Penitentiary in Leavenworth, KS. It's ironic that, of all the YAROSHEKs, I know the most about Albert, because he was in prison. I have a 24-page file, including a high-resolution version of the mugshot shown below, that I obtained from Jessica Schmidt at the National Archives in Kansas City. It comes to 16 Mb, so it's too much to post here, but I will email it to you if you like. haloupek@gmail.com

Parole Report by US Attorney says he was arrested in 1921, Albert Lea MN, on a liquor charge, fined $100 and 45 days in jail. No other prior arrests listed.

Case Summary for Federal Parole says he was fined $100 plus cost for disorderly conduct in Mason City, IA on 15 Aug 1930. No other prior arrests listed. Same information on the forms granting parole. I think the 1921 incident listed in the Parole Report is a misprint, and that it is referring to this incident.

Wife and children living with his parents, in Austin, during incarceration. Upon release, he was going back to work for Capp Construction, in Austin, at $2.50/day.
