Wow! Okay so I am looking through my info-Found marriage info on obit. I have a Charipar, Mary married to Joseph Cvrk. The name Wencil Cvrk has me wanting to investigate more. Something is peculiar here. ?
I have no info on Charles Sramek parents. This is his obit info:Charles Sramek, 85, Retired Baker, Dies Charles Sramek, 85, of 1610 Second Ave SE, who owned and operated the Sramek Bakery at 1100 Seventh st. 37 years, until his retirement in 1941, died at his home 1:15 a.m. Friday. Born in Czechoslovakia Nov 8. 1872, Mr. Sramek came to Cedar Rapids from Chicago 70 years ago. He was a member of BPOE NO. 251. Surviving are a son, Charles, of Plymouth Wis., two daughters, Stacia Jordan and Frances Chehak, both of Cedar Rapids, and a brother Fred, of North Judson, Ind. He was married in July 1899, in Cedar Rapids to Anastacia Cvrk, who died Nov. 8, 1956. Services: Berta-Hesser chapel at 10:00 a.m.. Monday by the Reverend D.A. Loferski of St. John`s Episcopal church, Burial: Cedar Memorial. Friends may call at the chapel after 2 p.m. Sunday.
1917 Cedar Rapids city directory shows Charles Sramek wife Staze, baker ll00 s 7th, residence same. There is also listed a miss Stazie Sramek clerk Iowa Tel Co rooms 522 S. 18th. 1937 directory shows sramek bakery that address. Charles & Stazie home at rear. The building is still there.
So yes, you have taken me back another generation! It is all a bit confusing and overwhelming! I LOVE IT!
And you see the Chehaks were related because he daughter Frances married into them.
Sincere Thanks! JOdi
