You were asking for information on Kathararina Hruby . My greatgranfather Wenzel Mraz was born in the year 1840,Sept.27,in the village of Lidnice,Providence of Budejovic Austria. This is what we call Moravia Czechslovakia.My great-great grandfather was a overseer on one of the estate there . K. Hruby was a servent in the house and my great grandfather fell in love with her .She left for the U.S and he follow a short time later.They met in Mlwaukee and were married .They wer one of the first settler in Alogma Wis and had a rough time the first year.
Have two papers on her one said she was from Germany. one from Velice ,in Moravia .She was a farm girl and worked for the groom parents .Had six children ,four lived .Died May 15 ,1916 at 79 years old .In Algoma ,Wis
