Judy - I just went down to the Cemetery in Holly TX last weekend with my mom. Anna Cejka is her grandmother. Anna Kubelka was married to Friedrich (Fred) Kubelka in Chicago IL. They had 3 children Ann, Rose & Fred (died @ 18 months old (1912)). At some point, they moved to Lovelady, Texas. Based on stories my mom was told, Anna and Ilois both died of yellow fever. Anna was pregnant at the time (Doctor gave her quinine which terminated pregnancy). My mom was told a relative (thought to be an uncle) came to visit and also died (Ilois?). Fred ended up moving back to Chicago with my Ann & Rose and died a few years later. Ann & Rose were placed in an orphanage.
After much research, I believe Ilois (also spelled Eloise or Alois) is actually Anna father. I discovered a passenger manifest (Alois Kubalka) with an Anna listed as a wife & children Aloisie, Rosa, Karolina (which my mother remembers her mother and Aunt talking about).
I know that "Aunt Rosa" was a nurse & never married. She died from complications from surgery. From this information, I was able to find a death certification for Rosa that listed Alois Kubelka as father and a Marie Marek as mother. (on passenger manifest, Alois & family were going to stay with Brother-in-law Tomas Marek).
"Aunt Louise" married Frank Soukup (spellings vary - Lvukup) and had 2 boys (Frank & Louis).
"Aunt Carrie" married Stepan Chalabala (Halabala) and had two sons. Carrie hung herself in 1929
There was mention of a 5th daughter for Alois & Marie (Anna) but my mom can't remember the name.
In other documentation, I have found Alois and Anna (still showing married) so this leads me to believe that Marie Marek might be Anna Marie or Marie Anna...
still working on the Cejka/Kubelka line (this has been my brick wall for a few years)
