My great-grandmother came over from Milanov, Bohemia at about ten to sixteen years of age to Chicago, Illinois. She worked in her sister's suitcoat shop, then married Karel Stasney. He was killed in a hunting accident some time later, leaving her with a baby boy, Karel Stasney II, to support. She then married Tomas Trefil from Kromeriz, Moravia and they had three children:
Rosalie (named after Anna's sister)
Otilie Libusse
and
Stanislav (named after Tomas Trefil's father.)
