Frantiska (Kadlec) Cizek in Racine, Racine County, Wisconsin

Surnames: Cizek Kadlec
Am trying to locate information on my great great grandfather's sister, Frantiska Cizek (nee Kadlec).

Frantiska was born 1 March 1827 and died sometime after her brother Josef Kadlec, who died in August 1902. I don't know the first name of her husband (Mr. Cizek), but according to her brother Josef's obituary, Frantiska lived in City of Racine, Racine County, Wisconsin in the 1902 timeframe.

Frantiska was the daughter of Frantisek and Anna (Hudec) Kadlec. The Frantisek Kadlec family first settled in Caledonia, Wisconsin after arriving at Castle Garden, New York on 18 November 1856 from the village of Velké Tresné, Moravia, Czech Republic.

Frantiska had three sisters who also settled in Wisconsin:

1) Josefa (aka Josephine) Schissler
(Born 25 May 1836, Died 9 Aug 1893, Milwaukee, Milwaukee County, WI--she was married to Prokop Schissler, a tailor in Milwaukee.

2) Vincentia (aka Winnie) Swoboda
(Born: 28 November 1845, Died 1921) was married to Joseph Franz Swoboda, they were married 25 August 1870 and lived in East Troy, Walworth County, Wisconsin.

3) Antonia (aka Antonie) Spurny (Born: 23 November 1843, Died sometime before her brother Josef, who died August 1902)-believed to have been married to Joseph Spurny on 23 November 1870 in Milwaukee County, Wisconsin.

And brother Josef Kadlec settled in Silver Lake, McLeod County, Minnesota.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

OK! There are some entries for these more uncommon surnames in the local resource "Milwaukee's German Newspapers; an index of death notices and related items" (1844-1950). These include the death notices in multiple papers for Josephine Kadlec Schissler (The family clearly placed multiple notices in one of the daily German papers, but two other German dailies copied them for one day).
