Anecdote on Frank Cilek, Sr. 1853-1931:
"Frank, Sr was the grandfather of Helen (Cilek) Alderman; great-grandfather of Jim Alderman and [Name omitted].
Frank Cilek was born near Tabor, Bohemia. November 4th, 1853. He was educated in the rural schools of his native country. Early in life he became very fond of Bohemian literature, a field of knowledge that interested him all of his life and with which he became so familiar that he frequently quoted selections from it.
In 1867 he came to America with his parents and his brother, Martin. The family came on a sailing vessel and landed at Quebec, after a stormy voyage lasting seven weeks. They settled at Winona, Minnesota. Here Frank, 14 years old, with other harvest hands bound grain that was cut by the first McCormick reaper used in that locality. For several years after arriving at Winoma, Frank worked at various occupations incident to the improvement of the new country. For a while he worked on a gravel train west of Winoma. Then on a freight steamer that plied between St. Paul and St. Louis, at another time on rafts of logs that were floated down the Mississippi to the saw mills. At other times he cleared land of forest trees that it might be placed under cultivation.
In 1874 he went to western Kansas and settled on a 160-acre tract of land. In making the journey, he passed through Omaha and Lincoln and from there to Humboldt in southeastern Nebraska, where he became one of a party of fifty prospective homesteaders, the most of whom were from Iowa and Missouri. This covered wagon caravan forded the Big Blue and the Little Blue rivers and numerous other streams. The most of them took homesteads in Decatur County, Kansas. Buffalo were still somewhat plentiful in western Kansas and eastern Colorado. Frank, with other homesteaders, enjoyed the sport of hunting them. On account of drought and grasshoppers he left Kansas in 1875 and returned to Winona where the following year he married Mary Bartizal. Soon after their marriage they came to Nebraska to make their home. They went to Grand Island where there was a government land office with Gilbert M Hitchcock, later a United States Senator, in charge. At his suggestion they located in Howard county near St. Paul where they lived for some years.
In 1888 the family came to Sheridan county and settled on Beaver Creek where they lived until 1901. When they sold their farm and moved back to St. Paul, Nebraska. They lived there but one year when they returned to Sheridan county and settled near Hay Springs where the Cileks spent the remainder of their days.
Frank died at his home in Gordon at the age of seventy-eight years. Mary passed on in 1917.
Six children were born to Mary and Frank.
Frank was modest in giving public expression to his Spiritual convictions but when necessary he could do so. During the years that he was a pioneer in Howard county, then sparsely settled, he preached 24 funeral sermons. He is spoken of in the highest terms by those who knew him for many years. He was a man of character, one whose actions were dominated by principles of right.
Funeral services were held in Hay Springs Sunday afternoon and interment was made in the Hay Springs cemetery. [the Hay Springs newspaper, Nebraskan?, Friday, September?]
He offered his granddaughter Helen Cilek a piano training course, in Prague, Chechoslovakia on the condition she come back home after her graduation and live with the Cilek family rather than stay at home with her mother Lucy Belle (Bayliff] Cilek. Helen refused the offer." (By: Jim Alderman, son of Helen Cilek, as this story was said to me.]
