Please feel free to use the information in this document for any purpose. My goal has been to inform as many people as possible about the Fillipi legacy. You are welcome to reproduce it. There are mistakes and omissions. I'm dealing with a 300 year time span in Europe and America. In addition, I've written about hundreds of relatives I've never met or known. I'm not trying to offend anyone by giving wrong information or not mentioning someone.

This project didn't turn out the way I intended it too. It's been difficult to put this material into an organized format. It's not a story book, rather it's a hodgepodge collection of pictures, maps, newspaper articles, personal comments, census records, personal records, old documents, and ship records from 1775 to the present. The material presented lacks continuity, is disorganized, and at times contradictory. Old records, census records, and family memories often don't agree. Because of this inaccuracy I'm presenting the material as I found it or as it was related to me. I take no responsibility for its accuracy.
As I've looked at family records over the past 200 years, I've found our name spelled the following ways:
1. Filipi 2. Filip 3. Fillipi 4. Phillipe 5. Felipe, Felipi 6. Fillipe 7. Philepe 8. Phillipe 9. Petillipe 10. Phillip ie 11. Fillepi 12. Philipi 13. Philippe 14. Philippi 15. Phillipi 16. Filipich 17. Fellipi 18. Filipiho 19. Filipilso 20. Philippi 21. Philipe 22. Phelope 23. Fillippi

INTRODUCTION The following pages show the Filipi Family from the 1700's in Bohemia, Austrian
Empire, to the present day in the United States. This homeland of our ancestors is today called the Czech Republic. Back when the Filipis lived there, it was the Austrian or Hapsburg Empire. This Empire was dissolved after WWI or about 1918. The material presented is primarily about John Sr. and Aneska (also called Agnes or Nancy) Mylnar Filipi, their children John Jr., Joseph, Nancy, Paul, Josephine, Frantisk, James, Frank and Rudolph, and their children's families. I have also given information about other Filipis in Europe and America I believe are related, I just can't always prove it.
There is no guarantee the information presented is factual, accurate or correct. I've presented it the way I found it or it was told to me. My research deals with 300 year time span in Europe and America. Many of the records are not legible, names are spelled differently, and dates are approximate, unknown or missing. When our relatives arrived in New York, July 31, 1867, they couldn't speak or write English. As a result, when census takers asked the Filipis for information, many times the information given was misinterpreted wrong and written down inaccurately.
I started collecting family records in 1968. Luckily, my father George was still alive and had wealth of information. In addition, other relatives were able to give me photos and documents. Many relatives, however, knew very little and offered little. Many times, I heard, "We never talked about our relatives, we don't know where they lived and we never communicated". It was almost like they were hiding something and didn't want to remember the past. It's possible much of this was due to the fact telephones were non-existent, mail service wasn't available, and travel by horse and wagon was slow. I don't know, but many of the old relatives simply wouldn't talk about their early life in America. In addition, records I have tried to research in Bohemia, are written in Latin, German, or Bohemian and impossible for me to read. The Czechs have many archives with old records, but they are hard to decipher.
This has been a fascinating project and I've discovered many things about the Filipi Family. They led a hard life in Europe and early America and they made many contributions to the State of Minnesota and the United States of America.

History of the region the Filipis came from in Bohemia, Austrian Empire, Europe.
This is the Austrian empire, home of the Filipis in the 1850's. Bohemia was a state in this Empire,
ruled by the Hapsburgs.
The history of the region John Fillipi Sr. and his family came from tends to be a bit
boring, but T will put it down because what was happening politically and socially would
eventually lead John Sr. and Agnes to leave Bohemia and take their family to America.
To start with, Slavic Tribes set up the Great Moravian Empire from 830 - 906 A.D.
This area included Slovakia, Bohemia, Eastern Poland, part of Germany and Hungary. This
alliance fell apart in906 A.D. and the Czechs formed the independent state of Bohemia.
In 950 A.D. the German King Otto conquered Bohemia and it was incorporated into
the Holy Roman Empire. Under this rule Prague, grew into one of Europe's largest and
most important cities. The influence of the empire is still evident today when one views the
architecture of Prague. In 1526, Bohemia came under the control of the Catholic, Austrian, Hapsburg Family
and in the Thirty Years War, the Czechs lost their rights, their properties, their national
identity and were subjected to forced Catholicism and Germanization. In 1848, the
Hapsburg, Austrian government gave Bohemia a new constitution and more freedoms
when the Czechs revolted. The revolt was crushed and Bohemia again fell under the control
of the Hapsburgs. In 1866, Austria was defeated in a war with Prussia (Germany) and
Bohemia. Austria and Hungary were changed into the Austria/Hungarian Empire. John
Fillipi Sr. didn't like all these wars and political changes and in early 1867, set sail for
America.

History of Borova by Paul Makovsky, distant relative of Filipi Family.
The village of Borova is located in the far southeastern part of Bohemia, approximately ten kilometers west of Policka, in the area known as the Czech-Moravian. Highlands.
We can go back in time to the year 1167 when the Czech King Vladislav II devoted territory to the Monastery of Premmonstratensian (a member of an order of canons regular founded by St. Norbert of Premontre near Laon, France in 1120) of Litomsyl_ The deed of covenant is from the year 1167 when the monastery was originated, however, it was not put into writing until the end of the 12th century.
Surrounding the area which encompasses the current village of Borova were two territories, named in the deed of covenant as: the wood domain (na Lubnem) and green fields (na Polickach). The King Premysl Otakar 11 (1253-1278) carried out the settlement of the areas covered with woods in Bohemia and Moravia. A great attention was given to the settlement of the Eastern part of Bohemia. This is proven in the year 1265 when in the territory of the monastery of Litomysl the new town of Policka was founded. The village of Borova was established along the Borovnice (meaning pine tree) brook, perhaps in the second half of the 13th century, in connection with the building of the area surrounding the new town of Policka.
The first direct information about Borova is from the year 1349, when the church was joined to the new built diocese of Litomysl. At this time the new village was named "Borouia" or "Ulricialla". Borova was originally only one village with Oldris. That part of the village, later named Oldris, was settled by German inhabitants, while the second part, later Borova, had Czech inhabitants.
Borova arose from the necessity to provide economically for the town of Policka and therefore it was a servitude village of this royal town until the year 1848. There are very few villages that were servitude from the beginning of their history until the year 1848. Because of this position of serving the royal town there are not any aristocratic families in the history of Borova. Borova had a very prominent position among other villages, because it had in that time (14th Century) a parsonage and gothic church. In the 16th century the vast majority of inhabitants passed to the reformation. In the 16th century the Catholic rectory was destroyed and until the 30 Years War (1618-1648) the rectory was taken by Evangelic Preachers. After the Battle of Bila Hora (White Mountain) in 1620 the rectory was destroyed and in the year 1787 Borova was incorporated into the Catholic Rectory in Policka. In the 17th century a very hard counter-reformation warfare was practiced, but those inhabitants who did not wish to change were able to retain their Evangelical convictions.
At the end of the 30 Years War was provided the registration of the land of serfs, called the 'Berri Rula". It was established in 1654 and the reaistration showed in Borova at that
time 26 submissive farmsteads. These were broken down into the following categories: 21 peasants (farmers), 1 peasant cottager (crofters) and 4 gardeners.
In the year 1781 the Letter of Tolerance (or Edit of Tolerance) was legislated by Josef II, Emperor of the Austrian Habsburg Empire. The Toleration Act allowed for the practice of the Evangelic religion with certain restrictions. The Evangelic Congregation in Borova had built their church in the year 1784 within a six week period of time (April 19 - May 24) and it is used up until today as their church. Their school was built in the year 1854.
The second part of the inhabitants of Borova, the Catholic Congregation restored the Catholic rectory in Borova in the year 1787 and in the year 1790 the school was founded.
In the year 1837 there were 125 houses in Borova, with a total of 695 inhabitants of Czech nationality, of these 67 were Evangelic.

The Edict of the 7th of September 1848 ended the dependence of retainers on the authority. Retainers obtained soil, which they had only in their letting, but they had to pay to their authority. This means the occupants were renters and had to pay rent to the burgess of Policka. This charge they had to pay until the end of the 19th century. The population in 1927 of the town of Borova was given as 937. Borova belonged to the office of Policka until the year 1960, when the District of Policka was annulled. It was also in this year that the house numbering system was changed.
Borova/Oldris are the ancestral homes of the Makovsky, Kucera, Dvorak, Popelka, Filipi, Mlinar, Bren, and many other families who settled in such places as Racine and Caledonia, WI; Minnetonka and Silver Lake, MN; Ely, IA and Clarkson, NE.

History of the Protestant Church the Filipi Family attended in Borova. They church is still standing and is used on a regular basis.
?he history of the Congregation.
The Congregation was organized right after the publication of the Toleration
patent in 1781. It had approximately 900 members. It was composed of the
communities: Borova, 0ldris, Katertha, S. Dul, Stritez, Lubna. Already on
November 29, 1781 (6 weeks after the publication of the Patent) was held
a general meeting. It is not known where was the meeting held. On this meeting
they were comparing the Brethern Denomination with Augspurg and Helvetien.
They accepted the Helvetien Denomination. The leading nen were probably Jan (John) Makovsky, farmer from no. 11, Vaclav (Wenceslaus) Kucera, farmer from
no. 64, and Jan (John) Svanda, from no. 9. They were being discuraged(by the
nobility and priests from this undertaking. - creation of the Congregation). Neverthiess on the 14th of June 1783, the Congregation was created in Borova. The first pastor was Daniel:' Hungarian. Who were the Congregation elders is
not certain. The God's servises were being held in barns and homes.On Apr. 19,
1784, was started the construction of the prayerhouse and it was completed
on May 24, of the same year. Soon afterward they built a wooden parsonage.
The pastors of the Congregatioa
During the pastor Jan Kosut the church inside was redecorated, created a Choir-
loft, The Lord's Table, the pulpit, new benches. This cemetery is in use from
the year of 1808, previous cemetery was on the hill.
During the pastor Jarilelen in December was built an organ which was purchased Nos Msto.
Dutin 8. Kosut was built school (1854) across the street, a :',asonry parsonage
(in place of the wooden one) on the same foundation. Kosut was a fiery preacher.
Even the Czech author T. Novak is writing about him.
About Skalah there arc differing stories - reverent and at the sane time very
imperious, As the only pastor he is buried on the lokal cemetery. During the pastor Cech was rebuilt the parsonage (1913). The couple was litera-
rily very active. They also had contacts with the foreign countries.
During the pastor Kucera was repaired the church's plaster.
/,, rny the Congregation of Policka became independent.
The larae repair was undertaken in 1970. Arrangement of the church's in-
terior - floor tiles, benches.

I was fortunate to get Filipi family records form the Evangelical Church of Borova
Bohemia, from the period 1783 - 1885. These records came from the Czechoslovak
Genealogical Society International in St. Paul, Minnesota. The records are for the
inhabitants of two houses in Borova Bohemia. One house is number 62 (see photo) that has
been in the Filipi family since the late 1700's. The other is house number 80 occupied by
John Filipi Sr. who immigrated to Silver Lake, Minnesota in 1867 and was my Great
Grandfather on my father's side. The births, deaths, and marriages of the inhabitants of
these two houses are shown below. The people mentioned are our distant blood relatives.
wish I had had this information years ago because it would have eliminated some of the
guess work I have done on our ancestors.
House 62 Borova, Bohemia, photo taken 2006. The house today is owned by Jan Hartman.
Filipis purchased the home about 1790 and lived there over 100 years.
Makovsky Relatives As I mentioned house 62 was originally owned by Jan and Anna Makovsky until the
period 1787 - 1790 when they sold it to Vaclav and Anna Filipi. The Makovskys then
moved to house 11 in Borova where Terezie Makovsky was born in May of 1801. Terezie
later married Vaclav Filipi born in 1805 whose father Vaclav born in 1752 had purchased
house 62 from Terezie's father, Jan.

House 11 Borova, Bohemia, photo taken 2007 showing Paul Makovsky born 1960. This was the birth home of Terezie Makovsky born 1801 who married Vaclav Filipi born 1805. Terezie and Vaclav were parents of Jan. Filipi born 1832, who along with his wife Anczka brought their family to Silver Lake, Minnesota in 1867. Paul would be about a 6th
a cousin to James Phillipe born 1938, in Cokato Minnesota.

As near as I can determine Vaclav Filipi born 1752 in Borova, married Anna Vraspir born December 18, 1773 in Policka. The couple moved into house 62 in Borova between 1787 and 1790, purchasing the house form Jan Makovsky and wife Anna Cerna Makovsky.
From Evangelical Protestant Church of Borova records during the period 1783 - 1885, the following births, deaths, and marriages were recorded in House 62 owned by Vaclav Filipi born 1752 and Anna Vraspir born December 18, 1773.
1802, Feb 26 Death of Marie Filipi, daughter of Vaclav Filipi (b 1752) and wife Anna (b 1773).
1805, June 21. Baptism of Vaclav Filipi, son of Vaclav Filipi (b 1752) and Anna (b 1773). Father of John Filipi Sr. who married Aneska Mylnar.
1807, Oct 31 Death of Anna Filipi, daughter of Vaclav Filipi and Anna Filipi (b 1773).
1809, March 12 Death of Vaclav Filipi (b 1752 I think).
1827, Feb 13 Marriage of Vaclav Filipi (b 1805 above) to Teresia Makovsky (b May 22, 1801). Vaclac was a grandfather of Jim Fillipi of Dassel, Minneasota.
1827, May 17 Baptism of unnamed daughter born to Vaclav Filipi (b 1805) and wife Teresia Makovsky.
1827, May 17 Death of unnamed daughter born to Vaclav Filipi (b 1805) and wife Teresia Makovsky.
1828, May 19 Baptism of Joseph Filipi, son of Vaclav Filipi (b 1805) and wife Teresia Makovsky. This would be a brother to John Filipi below who moves to Silver Lake Minnesota in 1867 with wife Aneska Mylnar.
1832, Jun 6 Baptism of Jan (John) Filipi, son of Vaclav Filipi (b 1805) and wife Teresia Makovsky. This Jan (John) will eventually marry Aneska Mylnarova (b 1834), have children Josef, Anezka (Nancy Filipi Wisbey), Josefak (Josephine Filipi Bartush), Pavel (Paul of Mott North Dakota), Frantisek (died at birth 1864), James (b 1868), Frank (b 1869), Rudolph (b 1872), and one other unknown child, possibly born near Silver Lake in the mid 1870's.

1855, August 23 Baptism of Joseph Filipi, son of Joseph Filipi ( b May 191828) and name of
wife unknown although I think Joseph (b 1855) married Anna Marie Brenova (b 1858), has
two children Emilie and Joseph and leaves Borova in 1881 and moves to Silver Lake,
Minnesota. I have a record of Joseph and Anna selling land to John Filipi Jr.
1857, Oct 23 Baptism of Ferdinand Filipi, son of Joseph Filipi. I think the mother was
Katerina Hanus Filipi born 1827. Ferdinand left Borova in 1870 and his parents left in 1881.
1860, Feb 6 Baptism of Jan (John) Filipi, son of Joseph Filipi.
1862, July 12 Baptism of Katerina Filipi, daughter of Joseph Filipi and possibly Katerina
Hanus Filipi.
1864, January 29 Death of Katerina Filipi, daughter of Joseph Filipi.
1864, August 19 Death of Jan (John) Filipi, son of Joseph Filipi.
1864, December Death of Joseph Filipi.
1884, May 13 Death of Teresie Makovsky Filipi, wife of Vaclav Filipi, mother of John Filipi
Sr. of Silver Lake, Minnesota.
I move now to House 80 in Borova, Bohemia, and from the Borova Evangelical
protestant Church records I find the home being owned by Jan (John) Filipi born June 6 1832
and married to Aneska Mylnarova ( b 1834). Jan (John) was the son of Vaclav Filipi (b 1805)
and Teresia Makovsky. (See possible house photo below).
It's possible this is House 80 owned by John Filipi Jr. but I cannot verify it.
1855 Baptism Joseph Filipi, son of Jan (John) Filipi and wife Aneska. Joseph would die July
11, 1870 in Silver Lake, Minnesota after being shot accidentally in the leg. See page 144.
1858 Baptism Aneza Filipi, daughter of Jan (John) Filipi and wife Aneska. Aneza (Nancy)
would immigrate to Minnesota in 1867 and marry Alvin Wisbey. See page 48.
1860 Baptism Josefka (Josephine) Filipi, daughter of Jan Filipi and Aneska. Josephine

Also living in House 80 Borova, Bohemia, was Jan (John) Filipi Jr., born Oct 1 1853, to Jan Filipi Sr. and wife Aneska. From Borova records I note Aneska was a Roman Catholic. I assume John Jrs birth is registered in the Borova Catholic church. During the early 1850's, Jan (John) Filipi Sr. apparently grew disenchanted with the Hapsburg controlled Catholic church and he and his wife Aneska broke away from it and joined the Evangelical Protestant Church.
There has been some family talk down the years that Aneska Mylnar's last name was Hammond. This had come form some of the Wisbeys in Kansas and George and Albin Fillipe in Dassel Minnesota. I don't know where it originated. I note the Catholic Church records of Borova, Bohemia in 1867 give Aneska's last name as Mylnarova. We had always thought it was Mylnar. There was also some talk John Filipi Sr's last name was Hammond and he changed it to avoid detection by the authorities when he left the country under a load of hay. The church records of Borova show his last name as Filipi and I have never seen a mention of Hammond. I previously wrote that family legends do not always agree with written government records.
I've presented a rather dismal picture of life in Bohemia for our relatives. I guess it wasn't all bad. What it was, was the end of the feudal system that had existed in Europe since the middle ages. The area the Filipis came from had beautiful castles, walked cities with moats, peasants, surfs, emperors and summer estates for the wealthy. Unfortunately, the Filipi families were surfs and peasants and not wealthy land owners. Since John and Aneska lived around the land borrows, they were able to participate in the art, music, and cultural activities of Bohemia. They brought this appreciation of art and music with them to America and passed this cultural appreciation on to their children and grandchildren. My father and his brothers and sisters loved to listen too and play music his grandfather brought over from Bohemia. I used to think our ancestors came form the "backwoods" in Europe. This certainly wasn't true as they came from a modern, advanced living area. The main thing wrong, was there were few, if any, personal liberties for the average citizen.
I note the Borova/Policka area was the center of the religious reform movement against the Hapsburgs and the Catholic Church. I don't know the role of any of our relatives in the political and religious reform movements, however, when they came to America they attended the Reformed Protestant Church in Silver Lake, Minnesota and they tended to be somewhat anti-big government and anti-catholic. I'm sure this attitude came from living under the rule of the Austrian Hapsburgs.
The story was told by George Phillipe that after. John Fillipi Sr. allegedly killed the Austrian soldier in Borova, and he escaped across the border under a load of hay in a farm, and wagon went to France. While in France he took the last name of Hammond. He then eventually made his way to Bremen, Germany, met his wife and kids and sailed to America. I've mentioned this on other pages, but didn't mention the name change or the fact he went to France. I've never figured it was a true story, but I put it down because it was told to me over 50 years ago.
COAST OF PASSAGE TO AMERICA, 1867 Passage would cost approximately $70.00 per person (145 guldens in Bohemian
money). This cost included an $8.00 train fare from Chocen to Bremen, Germany, this at a time when the average yearly income in Bohemia was around $50.00 per year. They must have planned and saved for several years in anticipation of a possible move to another country.
The law of the land meant that all males between the ages of 21 and 35 years were eligible for military service, I note Grandpa John Filipi was 35 when he reached New York in 1867. As soon as he reached age 35, he undoubtedly left. His sons, aged 14, 12, and 9 months were not eligible for military service, all being under age 21. Generally, if you were of age for military service you could not legally leave the country. Many young men thus left the country illegally.
There wasn't just one reason the John Filipi family came to America. There were many contributing factors. One needs to remember, about 10 million people left Europe in the late 1800's and our relatives were part of this mass wave of immigrants. If you look at the economic conditions in Borova, Bohemia, home of John Filipi Sr. in 1860, you would see a subsistence forming economy. From immigration records 1 found the following:
9
The Borova, Polichka area tended to "be poor economically, have small unproductive farms, low incomes, many day-laborers and an unproductive weaving trade". It sounds as if our relatives were not too well off as from immigration records I found 'the family of Jan Makovsky of Pusta Rybna (3miles S. of Borova) was considered by the village judge as the poorest family of all" Jan's daughter Terezie was married to Vaclav (James) Filipi, father of John Filipi Sr., born June 20, 1832.
What I am attempting to show is that after the Hapsburgs took over Bohemian in 1526 things tended to get worse for the citizens. This was certainly true for our relatives, from talking to my father, George Phillipe, Cokato Minnesota, he listed numerous reasons the peasants were disgruntled. Throughout my life I have always thought that the following were reasons why our relatives came to America:
• Taxes were high. The Hapsburgs lived an extravagant lifestyle and they needed money; and forced labor to keep their lifestyle going.
• You could not own land as the Hapsburgs owned it all and controlled it. { I've since learned that there was some evidence of private land ownership, so this is not a completely accurate reason.)
• Czech citizens were obligated {required?} to give the Hapsburgs forced labor on the Hapsburg lands
• Czechs were conscripted into the Austrian army and fought wars in which the Hapsburgs engaged to acquire new territory. The death rate in these battles was extremely high and medical care for the wounded soldiers was virtually non-existent.
• The Catholic Church was repressive and there was no religious freedom. • Living conditions were poor, structured education was virtually non-existent.
In the spring of 2006 I talked to Archie Phillipe, grandson of Paul Phillipe (of Mott, North Dakota). Archie mentioned that his daughter, Vicki Phillipe Wood lived in Colorado Springs, CO, and I was able to meet Vicki and talk to her about our family. She indicated that there was another possible reason that the Fillipis came to America. According to her recollection of conversations with her father, the following incident may have happened in 1867 in Borova, Bohemia: The Prussians (Germans) had just conquered Bohemia, Austria and Hungary and formed the Austro-Hungarian Empire. After the war soldiers (presumably those loyal to the Austrian Hapsburg family) were in Borova keeping the local citizens in line. According to rumor, one of these soldiers happened to stop by the house of John and Aneska Fiilipi and demanded some food. John was gone and the soldier pushed Agnes around and helped himself to some provisions. Agnes was scared and intimidated by the soldier. About that time, John (Sr.) walked in, and a fight started. Great-grandfather, John Sr., put a strangle hold on the soldier and killed him in the kitchen. They waited until dark, took the body out and buried it. Shortly thereafter, John, Agnes and the kids left Borova, got to Breman, Germany and on a ship to America. According to George Phillipe, the story goes that John Sr. left the country under cover of darkness, under a load of hay in a farm wagon and made his way to Breman, Germany where he met up with Agnes and their five children. I also heard that John Sr. came to America first and Agnes and the children came later. This appears to be false because the ship passenger list of the Olbers shows them as traveling together.

Other Fillipes in the Borova/Policka area Listed below are records of Fillipes, other than our known relatives that lived in the
same region. I have not been able to show any actual blood relation to our great grandparents, John Sr. and Aneska Fillipe. I do however feel many are distant relatives, I just cannot prove it.

From a book entitled Policka, Jan Filipi (4/12/1856 - 10/10/1910) ran a wine shop and was the mayor of Policka. His house was #10 in the walled city (about 100yds E of the city hall). As I mentioned, I cannot establish any relation to our relatives.

The Filipi trip to America
By modern day standards, travel in the 1860's in Europe and America was very primitive. Today one could get from the Czech Republic to Minneapolis, Minnesota in about 12 hours. In 1867, the same trip took the Fillipi family 147 days. As near as I can determine, the route they took to Silver Lake, Minnesota was as follows: they left Borova 3/6/1867, arrived in New York 7/31/1867. A. Hourse drawn wagon from Borova, Bohemia, to the railroad in Chocen, Bohemia. This was a 50 miles trip and took 3 days. B. Rail trip to Prague, then rail trip to Bremen, Germany to get on the boat, 600 miles and took 8-10 days. C. Bremen bark Olbers ship from Bremen, Germany, to New York city arriving July 31, 1867, thousands of miles and 50days. D. Boat trip up the Hudson River, through the Erie Canal, through the Great Lakes to Racine Wisconsin. I understand they spent two weeks in Racine, then headed for Minnesota. E. I don't know how they got to the Minneapolis area. They either took a boat on Lake Michigan, south to the Illinois River, west on the Illinois to a canal, then to the Mississippi river to St. Paul. An alternate way would have been a railroad and horse and wagon ride south of Racine to St. Paul. Records show a railroad reaching St. Paul in 1858. F. Railroad ride from Minneapolis west on the St. Paul and Pacific railroad to Howard lake, then horse and wagon to Silver Lake.

This probably was a difficult trip. John Sr. was 35, his wife 30, Joseph 12, John Jr. 15, Paul 2 Josie 7, Nancy 10. Note the ages of family members are approximate. Birth records from
old documents differ a great deal.
As near as I can determine, the Filipi family took a horse and wagon to Chocen (50 miles from Borova) stayed overnight in the Chocen railroad hotel, then rode a train like the picture below to Prague, then to Bremen Germany for the boat trip across the Atlantic.

Fillipi Boat Trip Across the Atlantic Ocean 1867 Imagine you are John Filipi Sr. waiting in Bremen, Germany, to board the sailing
ship, Bremen bark Olbers. It is 1867, you have just arrived from Borova, Bohemia in the Austrian Empire with your wife and five children, ready to make the six week trip to America. You look out in the water and see the ship picture below.
The Bremen bark OLBERS was bunt at Bremerhaven by J. C Tecklenborg for the Bremen grin of D. H. Wltjen & Co, and was delivered to the owner on 23 May 186'3.866/849 tons (grossfile* 48.03 x 10.36 x 6.49 meters (length x beam x depth of hold). On 3 May /887, the OZBERS was sold far 20,000 marks to Johann Frederic Pedersen, of Christiana. I have at present no information on her later history or ultimate fate.

From the Palmer list of merchant vessels I found the ship to be about 162 feet long,
32 feet wide and have a hold depth of 20 feet. The Olbers was a three mast sailing ship, had no steam power, no electricity, no heat, and no radio communications. The boat had provision for 1st class and second class passengers. In addition to human passengers, the ship carried farm animals on the main deck. As near as I can determine the Filipi family traveled in second class. They slept in the hold of the ship. The hold apparently was partitioned off by pieces of canvas providing some privacy for passengers in the upper and lower bunks. Light was provided by small kerosene lanterns. The overhead was low and the air thick and foul smelling, stinking of urine and vomit. In the hold was a kitchen area where passengers could take turns cooking their food. The ship provided food such as hard
bread, salt pork, salt beef, rice, barley, salt herring, flour, sugar and syrup, but the passengers had to prepare it. During the day most passengers were on deck where the air was fresh. On stormy days, they had to be in the foul smelling lower hold. The voyage over was a long miserable trip under extremely miserable conditions. Earlier I had thought Aneska Filipi was pregnant with her sixth child James, as records show him being born 6 weeks after the ship arrived in September of 1867. Other more accurate records also show
James Filipi being born in September of 1868. I assume the 1868 birth date as correct so Aneska was not pregnant on the voyage.

The above manifest signed by the Breman bark "Olbers" master Thurman Drake on July 31, 1867, show the arrival of the Filipi family and their five children. The three other Filipi children, James, Frank and Rudolph were not on the Manifest because they hadn't been born yet. From Ancestry.com, I show the same Filipis arriving only the arrival date is July 30, 1867. I note their destination as Minnesota. It appears as through they had a plan to settle in Minnesota before they left Bohemia. Its possible Agnes had a brother Paul Mylnar in Hennepin and they went to meet him. I also finding evidence there were some Filipis near Warren, Minnesota, and that another reason for the Minnesota destination. Most immigrants went where they knew someone, I just cannot figure out for sure who the Filipis knew in the new world.

From the book "History of Czechs in America", published in 1910, the information about McLeod county is shown, the families listed were neighbors of John Filipi Sr,.
A rich Minnesotan territory settled by Czechs is in f..theod County, among Glencoe, Hutchinson and
Lake.. Soil is very good there, partly covered '.:71-1 beautiful forests, and everywhere one can see.
-_ze farms and lovely towns with busy trades. It is
pleasant to look around the wide, well cultivated countryside and feel happy to know that nearly all of that is Czech property.
Anyway, some forty years ago there was just wild forest with Indian wigwams here and it took much blood and tears to cultivate the land.
The Ka6par family arrived in that county as the first. They came from Choceii, Bohemia and arrived in America in 1854. Originally they settled in Racine, Wisconsin., where some Czech families had been. On April 1, 1855 they started on a journey to McLeod County Minnesota. As poor immigrants, they trav-eled by oxen drawn carts and experienced much hardship. The journey took them more than three months! After their arrival they occupied i6o acres of land, covered with thick old forest.
There was more than enough painful work ap-plied, and theISalpRi; family, as well as the Josef Mal* and Antonin Navratil families who had come oro-g-e after them►, achieved something only after efforts last-ing several years. They also had to endure much wrong done by the Sioux, especially in the years 1861 to 1865 when there were big Indian uprisings. It was a difficult period for our Czech colonists when they had to construct little forts and keep on-guard at all times. Harvesting the corn in the fields was then very difficult, and in many places it was impossible for fear of the Indians.
Jan. Ka6par, a son born in Choceti in 1840, was right at the beginning of the Indian riots appointed a member of a platoon of scouts. Their main task was to trace the Indians' movement and to report on them so that the colonists were warned. Certainly, these scouts must have suffered much. Finally in 1865 the troubles with the Indians stopped and better times set in. Jan Ka6par was married and began farming in that same year. He had previously worked on his father's farm. He did very well, and today he owns 160 acres of land. His father has 200 acres, brother Franti§ek 160 and brother Antonin zzo, so that altogether the family owns 740 acres of good arable land, 8o acres of which is forest.
There are about 500 Czech families in that coun.-.:. at present. Most of them live in. the Czech-Polls:7, town of Silver Lake (it had over 321 residents in Igo,: and its neighborhood, and in the neighborhoods or the towns of Hutchinson (it has over 2,600 residents and Glencoe (it had 1,70o residents in 1900 and is the county seat).
20
John Sr. arrived in the Silver Lake area in the fall of 1867. Sometime in 1868 he was able to acquire 100 acres of land on Swan Lake. Note the property tax statements for 1869 below for land in section 29, township 117 and range 28, also on 1869 tax receipt for personal property.

Its looking like John Sr. came to America with some money as he was able to purchase a sizable amount of land within a year of arriving. I spoke to Archie Phillipe of Creston, Iowa in 2005 (Great grandson of John Sr.), he made the statement "Aneska Fillipi (John Sr's wife) was a woman of wealth". He apparently meant her family had a lot of money in Bohemia and they were able to get it out of the country when they came to America.

John Fillipi Sr. and Aneska Mylnar Fillipi
As I have previously written John and Aneska left Borova, Bohemia, in early 1867 and arrived in New York July 31, 1867. The ship manifest states their destination as Minnesota. I've tried to figure out why they came to Silver Lake and not some other area. About all I can come up with is that they knew someone in the area or had relatives here. Who these settlers may have been don't know.
I've always been curious as to what Silver Lake was like in 1867 when the Filipis arrived Minnesota had become a state in 1858, the American Civil War was over and President Lincoln had signed the Homestead Act of 1862. This Act provided land to immigrants for 1.25 per acre if they lived on it for 5 years. I don't know of John Sr. homesteaded land or purchased it from a private owner. An old 1880 map of property owners shown john Sr. and Jr. owing two tracts of land (138 acres) on the North Shore of Swan Lake (see below).
Apparently Minnesota was a prosperous state about the time John Sr. arrived. There was a huge wave of immigration to the area from Europe, railroads were building lines, and farms were producing products for market.
In the area West of Silver Lake there recently had been trouble with the Indians. There was a massacre of white settlers 30 miles Northwest of Silver Lake in Acton in 1862. Little crow, a Sioux Indian, had been shot a few miles North of Hutchinson in 1863. It apparently was still the wild frontier. There was no railroad in Silver Lake, roads were primitive, there was no electricity or natural gas for heating, schools were probably nonexistent. It was primitive, rural America.
Below is an 1880 map of land owned by John Fillipi Jr. and Sr. There are two parts, one of 100 acres, the other 38 acres. The 100 acres section is referred to as Lake Side Farm. I believe John Fillipi Jr. lived with his family on the 100 acres part. Note, John Miska owned land West of John Fillipi Sr. His daughter Francis Miska married John Sr's son, James Fillipe.
HALE TOWNSHIP Established in 1876, Halo Township's first
officers were sutwxvisors W. T. Hicks. William H. Johnson and Joseph Busks. Treasurer was T. Mints and the clerk A. Yount. Justices were A, Yount and Michael Marti John Philepe and H. J. Johnson were constables; es ;tor was Smith Haines and pound masts' August Teske and Solomon Dem pounds were established at the Solomo and John Danek farms, Compensation pervisors meetings; was set at $3.50 judges of elections to receive $2.
The 1876 administration mcpense $190.46 and $462.68 was disbursed for re and bridge work- Real estate and personal t was 50 cents on each $100 in value. Each Is downer was required to work two days eat] year on roads to pay taxes.
In 1877 a $pmiai etectioit was lull to vote on whether or not to float bonds in the amount
of $6000 at 7% interest to help the Minneapo-lis Northwestern Railroad Company build a mil line through Hennepin, Stearns, Wright and McLeod counties. Of the 60 ',OWN rant, 52 were in favor and eight were against. It was tinderatood if the road was not built, bonds would be returned to Hale Township with no interest. The line was not built.
That same year it way resolve() to make ilk. Fel the running at large of swine, cattle and homes between April 1 and November 1.
22
The actual area John Sr. and his family settled in was referred to as Hale Township. The Township was established in 1876 by the state legislature. From Township records, I've enclosed a copy of the first officers and supervisors. If you will note "John Philepe Sr. and H. J Johnson were constables". In addition, "each landowner was required to work two days each year on roads to pay taxes".

CZECH BRETHREN PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH
The background of the protestant settlers to the Silver Lake area was set in Bohemia and Moravia. By tradition they were followers of the "Brethren,— who had been inspired by the great reformer, John Hus, who was hurtled at the stake in 1415.
There were three main reasons for the emi-gration to America — the spiritual, the eco-nomic and the political.
Many of the settlers who eventually came to Minnesota made stops in Pennsylvania and Wisconsin hut came westward as the good Land in the eastern states was already taken.
No minutes of the church society meetings were kept for the early years 1871 to 1876.
John J. Jerabek, a long time chairman of the board of elders, read sermons and other-wise took the place of a minister before the church had a full time pastor.
As in the days of early Christian believers, who, having no churches of their own, gath-ered for devotions in their homes, so in like manner, a group of Bohemian and Moravian immigrants of Protestant origin, met in their
Sayer Gala( Pt ytettan CharA.1.076.
homes intermittently on Sundays and holidays for song, prayer, and reading of the word of God.
The first concern of this small group was to
provide a dignified place for 'a final resting place for their dead. For this purpose they purchased one acre of land for $10.
In the year of 1874, an Evangelical pastor, Frederic Emty, spoke to them at the Jan Totu-sek home in the German language on several occasions. He also administered the Lord's Supper and baptized many children.
This strengthened the resolve of the more zealous member to hear the word of God •in their native language. Later they contacted an Evangelical minister, Francis Kun, who ac-cepted their invitation. He arrived on the 15th of January and on the 16th gave Lord's Sup-per to a large and enthusiastic group of believ-ers. At this time he also baptized children, confirmed a few and dedicated the cemetery.
After the spiritual meetings the group moved toward organizing the congregation. On the day of the Centennial of our nation's inde-pendence a meeting of the more zealous mem-bers of the home church was held, and on July 4, 1876, an agreement was made to buy 13% acres of land in section 33, Hale Township, McLeod County for the sum of $425. This amount was paid in full on Oct. 2, 1876., and the deed was made out to the Czech Evangeli-cal Church in Silver Lake.
Charter members include Frank Fajmon Sr-, John Totusek, Joseph Kastanek, Jan Osi-nek, Daniel Bednar, Vaclav Totusek, Paul Mlynar, Cenek Totusek, Anton Wraspir, Jo•seph Havlis, John Konerza, John Filipi Sr. Jo. seph Dvorak, Anna Humlieek, Frank Fahnon
INJ
23
In addition to John Filipi Sr's work with Township government, he as also involved with the organization of the Czech Brethren Presbyterian church (also called Czech evangelical church). If you will note from the article above, "John Filipe Sr. was a charter member" when the church was formed about 1871. Apparently the Filipis were very religious in America and in Bohemia before they came to the new world. The Borova, Bohemia, area the Filipis came from was the center of the Bohemian revolt against the Hapsburg controlled Catholic Church. I have no evidence that John Filipi Sr. was involved with this revolt, but it appears as through he was. On my last trip to Bohemia, I noted many Filipi graves in both protestant and catholic cemeteries. I note my father, George Phillipe, Cokato, Minnesota, as baptized in the Czech evangelical church listed above on March 5, 1903. His sponsors were Antonia and Maire Barto. Marie was a sister of George's mother, Francis. John Filipi Sr. was George's grandfather.

I believe John died in Dassel, Minnesota at the West of Silver Lake. home of his daughter Josie Bartush.
James Phillipe, at the birth place of his great, great grandparents, 2005. At present, Borova is a town of 900 inhabitants. Most of the homes and building are very old. Borova was 1st documented as a city in 1349. Its big claim to fame is that it was the center of the Czech protestant movement in the mid 1800's. The town appears to be a place where time stood still. I don't think much has changed in Borova in the last 300 years.

John Sr. and Aneska are buried in the Bohemian National Cemetery 2 miles West of Silver Lake, Minnesota. Above are the grave sites for Aneska (Agnes) on the left and John Filipi Jr. (Aneska's son), on the right. John Fillipe Sr. is buried between the two graves and has no gravestone. At the time of John Sr's death, he was living with his daughter Josie Bartush in Dassel, Minnesota and she elected not to buy her father a gravestone. The flat gravestone to
the right of the Fillipi gravestone as you look at the picture belongs to Edward Fillipi (1877 -1958) of Lamson, Minnesota, John Jr's son.

Last photo taken of Aneska (Nancy) Fillipi with her daughter Jasie Bartush, granddaughter Lillian Jacobson and great granddaughter Mayme Jacobson, about 1909.
Children of John Sr. and Aneska Fillipe are underlined below Father. John Fillipe was born 20 Jun 1832 in Bohemia, and died 28 Jun 1911 in Silver Lake, Minnesota. Mother. Aneska Mylnar was born 24 May 1834 in Boravia, Monrovia, Bohemia, and died 2 Jun 1916 in Silver Lake, Minnesota.
Children of Aneska Mylnar and John Fillipe are: i. John Fillipe Tr. was born 1 Oct, 1853, in Boravia, Moravia, Bohemia, and died 10 Oct, 1915, in Silver Lake, Minnesota. He married Anna Zich. ii. Nancy Fillipe was born 12 Jan, 1858, in Boravia, Moravia, Bohemia, and died 23 Apr, 1922. She married Alvin Joseph Wisbey 4 Oct, 1873. He was born 25 Jul. 1851 in Peoria, Illinois, and died 13 Aug, 1904, in Concordia, Kansas. iii. Tosie Fillipe was born 3 Jan, 1860, in Boravia, Moravia, Bohemia, an died 1933 in Silver Lake, Minnesota. She married John Bartush 10 Oct, 1875. iv. Paul Fillipe was born 30 Jun, 1865 in Boravia, Moravia, Bohemia, and died Apr, 1951, in Mott, North Dakota. He married Josie Ziek. v.

Joseph Fillipe born 1855 in Borova, Bohemia, died in the 1870's in Silver Lake, Minnesota. He died July 11, 1870, the result of a gunshot wound. He is buried on the Southeast shore of Swan Lake, no marker. x. The 1900 census states 7 of 10 children of John and Aneska Fillipe lived. Apparently one more were born and didn't live. I assume this child was born in the mid 1870's in Silver Lake. He is probably buried on the southeast corner of Swan Lake, no markers.

Note the 1880 Hale Township census showing John Fillipe Sr. and his family - Paul, James, Frank, and Rudolph. Josephine and Nancy had married and left home. Note John Fillipe Jr. listed below his father, with his wife Annie age 20, daughter Annie age 4, son Edward age 2. Daughter Annie died a short time after the census was taken. As near as I can determine, Annie was buried on the southeast corner of Swan Lake along with her uncle Joseph and two other infant children of John Sr. and Aneska Fillipe. There are no grave markers. The area is no longer a cemetery.

Citizenship papers for John Fillipi Sr.

Citizenship papers for John Fillipe Sr. Nov 4 1872, McLeod County, on the previous page. Note his signature, I understand he never learned to read or write English, and could barely speak English. I note the 1900 census states John Sr. never become a citizen. The 1900 census was wrong as this document proves. Note he "renounces all allegiance" to the Emperor of Germany, then crosses Germany out and adds Austria. I guess its possible he really didn't know the name of the country he came form. To our relatives, they came from Bohemia and the control of Bohemia frequently changed due to wars, sometimes Germany Austria, Prussia, etc,.

On previous pages I've mentioned the death of the following Fillipis, Joseph, son of John Sr, and Aneska, died 1870, Anna, daughter of John Jr. and wife Anna, and one other Fillipi child from the 1900 census. They are probably buried in Clarks woods, on the S, SW shore of Swan Lake. See arrow above, on property owned by IA Clark.

Katerina Filipe, born 1827, Borova, Bohemia This is not a relative that I can verify.
Its possible Katerina Filipi, born 1827 in Borova, Bohemia is a sister or cousin of John Filipi Sr,. Katerina married a Kaspar Hegr in Bohemia. Katerima and Kaspar had four children, one named Joseph Hegr Sr. born 1848 in Borova/Policka, Bohemia and who died in 1919, Clarkson, Nebraska. Joseph married a woman named Josefka(?) and apparently moved to America. This couple had 6 kids, 3 who lived. On who lived was Joseph E. Hagr Jr,. It appears as through Joseph Hegr Sr. moved to the Silver Lake, Minnesota area. The 1880 map below shows him owning 80 acres just north of Silver Lake 19190 and a short distance southeast of land owned by John Fillipi. It appears as a brother of Joseph Hegr Sr., Frank (Frantisk) also came to Silver Lake. Frank married Antonio Kabes and had a number of children near Silver Lake, one named Josephine Helen, born Apr 18, 1884, in Hale Township, Silver Lake. Josephine remarried in the Silver Lake area and married a Frank Marvan. They had three children, Helen, Joe and Mary. As near as I can determine, all the Hegrs except Josephine, left Silver Lake and moved to Clarkson, Nebraska around 1912. The Hegr families are not distant relatives to the Phillipes.

Above is an 1880 map of the Swan lake/Silver lake area of Minnesota. I had previously mentioned schools were not available for the children of John and Aneska. The map does show a school less than a mile form the farms of John Jr and John Sr Fillipe. Some record shows (census records 1880), John's children attending school. Its possible John Sr and John Jr's children attended school at the location shown above. This would include Paul Fillipi age 15, James Fillipi age 13, Frank Fillipi age 101 and daughter Annie of john Jr. This is a guess on my part, but it's reasonable to conclude they did attend some school.
The 1898 map to the right shows schools near Swan Lake and John Sr and John Jr's farms. It's reasonable to assume John Jr's kids attended. In 1898 this would include 19 year old Edward, 16 year old Mary, l3year old Henry, and 6 year old Alice. It's also reasonable to conclude James Fillipi's kids Albin, and Julia also attended their first years at school on the map location above about a mile north of Swan Lake. This is school district 80 McLeod County. I've been unable to find any records on it; note also the Great Northern Railroad had reached the area south of Silver Lake in 1898.

John Fillipi Jr. (October 1, 1853 - October 10, 1915)
John Fillipe Jr. was born in Borova, Bohemia, Austrian Empire, in 1853, the first born
child of his parents, John Sr. and Aneska Fillipi. I know nothing of his early years in Europe
and the first written record I have of him is the passenger list of the Breman Barque Olbers
indicating he arrived in New York City July 31, 1867 with his parents, brothers and sisters.
The family ended up in Hale Township about a mile west of Silver Lake, Minnesota and
John Jr. started farming with his father. At the age of approximately 21, he married 15 years

records, I noted at least ten land transfers from or to John Fillipi Jr. in the late 1800's.

Grave of. John Fillipi Jr., Bohemian National Cemetery, Silver Lake, Minnesota.
I am unable to find where his wife Anna was buried, and any picture, or for that matter any info on her except that she was from Wisconsin. Further research says wife Anna lost her eyesight at an early age - age 30, but was still able to keep house and do routine chores. Per and old letter, John Jr. drank to excess and died of liver disease. John Jr. was a McLeod County Commissioner for many years. I recently found wife Anna is buried in Tabor, Minnesota, by her daughter Alice Piker.
The about 1880 census data shows John Philepe Jr. living next door to John Philepe Sr. Also note Josie Fillipi had married and left home, and Nancy had married and left home. In addition, Joseph was not on the 1880 census because he had been killed.

If you will note this land transfer is from Joseph and Anna Filipi to John Fillipi Jr., I've tried to establish some relation between John Jr. and Joseph but could find none. As far as I can determine Joseph came to America in 1881 and settled near Crookston Minnesota, after he left Silver Lake. I basically think they were related, I just can't prove it. Further research shows Joseph was an uncle of John Fillipe Jr., and a brother of John. Fillipe Sr.

John Jr. applied for and was granted citizenship in August of 1896. This was given 29 years after he arrived in America. Why he took so long I don't know. I find no record of his wife becoming a citizen, however, since she was possibly born in Wisconsin, she was already a citizen by birth. Note John's signature. He obviously could write English.
The original homestead for John Sr. and John Jr. Fillipi was on the land above called Swan Lake Park. It is now a county park.

Children of John Fillipi Jr.
John and Anna's children were as follows: Anne born about 1877, died about 1882. Edward born 1879, died 1960, Mary born 1883, Henry born 1886, and Alice born 1892. I know very little about the family, and growing up as a child, my parents or aunts and uncles never mentioned them. It is the same old story, we never talked about relative or where they lived or came from. What I've learned about John's children is as follows.
Anne was born in 1877, Hale Township, lived to be about five years of age, then passed away. I assume she is buried some where around Silver Lake but have been unable to find out where. As is typical in Bohemian families, she was named after her mother.
Edward, the second born child and first born son, was born in 1879, Hale Township. He married but had no children, lived in Lamson, Minnesota, and died in 1958. He is buried in the Bohemian National Cemetery next to his father. Who is wife was or where she was born or buried is unknown. As near as I can determine Edward was named after a brother of his grandfather John Sr. I found a grave stone in Borova, Bohemia, stating "Eduard Filipi Hostinsky 1848 - 1921". As near as I can determine the word "Hostinsky" means brewer. I note also another Filipi named "Augustin", "Hostinski" buried with Eduard. Bohemian parents almost always named children after a previous relative. I note from the 1920 RichValley Township, McLeod County census Edward Fillipi living with his sister and her husband, Mary and Anton Mraz. It lists Edwards' occupation as a "Labor Working Out". Further research shows it does not appear that Eduard Filipi or Augustin are related to John Fillipi Sr.

Mary Fillipi Mraz was born in 1883 in Hale Township, Minnesota. Mary married Anton Mraz in the early 1900's and the couple had three children that I know of. These were Mary born 1906, married name is unknown, but I think it is Osmek. The second child was Arther, born about 1908. Art apparently lived in Biscay Minnesota and had three children, one named Betty, I don't know the names of the other two. The third child was Mabel with a married named of Mrs. Ed Mulua. Note the census above showing Mary's husband Anton Mraz, he came to America in 1881, and in 1920 was 38 years old. Records aren't always totally accurate.
Alice Fillipi Piker
Alice Fillipi was the last child for John Jr. and Anne. She was born December of 1893 on the family farm in Hale Township, Minnesota. Census records show she could read and write English and she did attend school. Like her brother Henry, Alice moved to Warren Minnesota sometime prior to her father's death in 1915. In Warren, she married a farmer from the area, Mr. John Piker. Her brother Henry had earlier married Mary Piker from Polk County and Henry's wife Mary and Alice's husband John Piker were related. By 1915, Alice's father John Jr. had died and Alice's mother Anne, from Silver Lake, moved to Warren to live with her daughter and son-in-law. See the 1920 census below. As of 1920 Alice and John had three children. They were as follows: Melvin born about 1917, Mabel born about 1918, and Bob born about 1919. This is the only record I have of Alice and I've been unable to find anything else.

Henry J Fillipi
I lenry J Fillipi was born July 15, 1886, to John Jr. and Anne Fillipi, their fourth child. He died in March 1972, and apparently is buried around Warren MN or Fargo. There are few records on Henry. The first record I have is the 1910 Hale Township census showing Henry age 23, living with his parents, working as a farm laborer at home, is able to read and write English, but had not attend school. Somewhere between 1910 and 1915, Henry moved to Warren MN, as a November 1915, newspaper article shows Henry living in Farley Township, Polk County, with a wife Mary Piker Fillipi, age 33, son Arthur 10, Rose 3, Henry 2, Emily M, a few months old. His occupation was a general farmer. There was an additional daughter Henrietta, but I'm unable to find her age. I note Henry's first son, Arthur was born in 1910 in Silver Lake. I don't, however, see Arthur's name on the 1910 census as living with his father, Henry, nor do I find Mary Fillipi on the census. There was another child, Mayme who died at early age (1914).
This 1930 census above shows Henry living in Vega Township, Marshall County, Minnesota. Three more children had been born, Raymond 1922, Robert 1924, and Ernest 1926 or 1927. I mentioned some possible inaccuracy in the census date above. I've since learned the 1910 census was started in 1908 or 1909, and published in 1910. This would account for some of the omissions I've mentioned above.
As near as 1 cart determine, Henry left Warren in the late 30's or 40's and moved to Grand Forks, and lived there till he passed away. Records are unavailable so I'm guessing. According to word of mouth reports, Henry was a man of few words, didn't talk much about where he came from, and like his father John Jr., liked his beer and whiskey. This isn't so unusual as his uncles Paul, Frank, and James Fillipi were much the same way. I know this for fact as I knew Paul and James in my childhood. In addition Frank died of alcohol poisoning as did Frank's son, Raymond Sr. They were both bootleggers in Montana.

Henry (Henrietta) Knutson of Gully, Mayme who died at the age of 2 and Mrs. Charles L. (Emily) Anderson who died 2 years ago. They have N grand-children and 22 great-grandchildren.
There were about 150 relatives and friends present at the event. Relatives, who attended. from a distance were Mrs. Mabel Molva of Glencoe, a niece; Charles L. Anderson, son-in-law; and Charles Anderson, a grandson of Fargo; and Mrs. Henry Knutson, a daughter of Gully. Other guests were from Grand Forks, Tabor, Thief River Falls, 'East Grand Forks, Radium, Euclid, Alvarado and Warren.
Highlights of the afternoon were long distance telephone calls from a grandson, Bruce Fillipi, who is stationed in New York, Mr. and Mrs. Ben Vixie of Viking and Mrs. Tillie Myerchin of Tabor, friends of the couple.
In the evening a potluck supper was enjoyed by the immediate family. Miss Linda Fillipi read a poem to the honored couple which was composed by her mother, Mrs. Ray Fillipi, which reads as follows:
Card of Thanks We would like to express our
appreciation "to everyone who attended The open house held in observance of our .0.th wedding anniversary, also, a sincere thank ycu to all who remem-bered us with gifts and cards.
Your thoughtfulness helped make it a wonderful day for us. It will c'e long remembered.
Mr. and Mrs. Henry Fillipi Sr. Grand Forks, N. D.
The Ballad of Henry and Mary
Listen my chilcirenyand you shall hear The story of Henry, and his Mary dear
It started a long time ago, so they say Near the town they call Tabor, way
out that-a-way
Like the rest of the young men, he knew in the town
Henry had no intentions of settling down
But you've heard the old saying, of the tricks played by fate
She played it on Henry, that one cer-tain date
He'd gone to a party, and he knew from the start
When he say Mary Piker, that she'd win his heart
Now Mary was cautious, as girls have to be
And she wondered and wondered, is this man for me?
As she thought it all over, to herself she did say
"I'll let him chase me, till I catch him some day"
So he courted "Miss Mary", and the people all said
That it wouldn't be long, till those two wed
The month was January, in the year 1910
- The. date was eleven, for their-wed-ding way back then
They lived in many places, and often times were tough
But they survived together, cause they are mode of sturdy stuff
Soon the children started coming, all ail they numbered nine
nd the people all about them, said they'd raised a family fine
7sere was Mayme, Henrietta, Arthur Rose and Henry too
E."-rhi!y and Raymond, Bob and Ernie, made the crew
There were times of bitter heartaches, there were times of Greatest joys,
There were tears and there was laugh-ter, as they raised these Girls and boys
Arid the years they passed so quickly Now their children are all grown Living many different places Raising families of their own
And the families have families, scat-tered round the countryside
So the good old name of Fillip!, is spreading far and wide
Sixty years they've been together Sixty years that's what they've had, Now they've got a lot of family,

Family of Mary Piker Fillipi Wife of Henry Fillipi Sr.
As near as I can determine, Mary Piker Fillipi's relatives came from Borova, Bohemia, in the Austrian Empire. This was the same town my great great grandparents, John Sr. and Aneska Fillipe came from. Apparently the Piker family got to the United States before the John Fillipe Sr. family, but I can't verify this. As a child, I never heard anything about the Pikers and it's just in recent years that I've learned about them. From Yvonne Malloy Piker in Hutchinson Minnesota, wife of Myron Piker, I received the Piker family information below: in addition, from "The McLeod County History 1978", I've presented some additional information. It sounds like the original family farm is still occupied by a Piker at 16817, 220St, north of Hutchinson, MN. It is possible it was acquired by the Piker family under "The 1862 Homestead Act", signed by U.S. President Abraham Lincoln.

The above information comes from Yvonne Malloy Piker, married to Myron Piker in 1956. Per info from Myron Piker. The original Piker Farm has been occupied by Piker's for seven generations. Myron Piker and his wife live on it at the present time.

Note the arrows on the McLeod County map showing the location of the original Piker
Farm dating back to the 1870's. Note also Piker Lake and Emily Piker Lake. Joe Piker Sr.
acquired the land when he arrived from Bohemia. Joe Sr. was a grandfather to Mary Piker
Fillipi, wife of Henry Fillipi (note also Mary Piker's mother name was Mary Kucera, 1863 -
1921). On the 1898 McLeod County map, there is a school less than a quarter mile east of the Piker
Farm. I imagine that where Mary Piker Fillipi lived 4 miles east of the Piker Farm on Swan
Lake.

JOHN HUS AFFILIATE iu 1890 a group of Czech people living mid-
way between Silver take and Hutchinson felt the need for a nearby center of worship. The "Spolek Centro Nedelni Skola" (Czech Sunday School Society) was organized. with the first teacher, Mrs. Dvorak, triftting in various homes. Parents and other adults became in-volved and formed a congregation. The first officers were John Kneen, chairman; Frank Kozel, secretary; and Frank Plihal, treasurer. Other charter member families were those of siQhn Frank Dostal. Frank Kraml, Frank Fajmon, John Klima, Frank Telecky, Jos. Dostal, Sr., Frank Moravec, Jos. HIavIca, Karel Pokorny, Jos. Telecky, Jos. Sustacek. They were soon joined by the Jos. Pohanka, Frank Ondracek, John Telecky, John Cerny, Adolf Piker, Jos. Stritesky, Jos. Piker and Jos.

Discussions arose whether this group should develop into a church. The five or six mile journey to the Presbyterian and Congre-gational churches in Silver Lake, whom many of the group originally belonged, proved a hardship where small children were involved. They welcomed a Sunday School in their neighborhood I

Nancy Fillipi Wisbey (January 12, 1858 - April 23, 1922)
Nancy Fillipi was born in Borova, Bohemia in 1858 to John Fillipi Sr. and Agnes Mylnar Fillipi. Of note is the fact that Nancy's mother Agnes (or Aneska) is also called Nancy on some records and leads to some confusion when doing research. Nancy was the third born to the Fillipis and at the age of 10 came to America on the ship the "Olbers", settling in Silver Lake, MN. I've been unable to find much about her. What I do know is at the age of 15, she married 22 years old Alvin Joseph Wisbey, Octber 4, 1873 at her father's home on Swan Lake MN. The Wisbeys' owned land next to John Fillipi Sr.'s farm so they were neighbors. Nancy's husband's father grew tired of the area around Silver Lake, so in 1877 the Wisbey Clan, along with Nancy Fillipi Wisbey left in wagons for. Kansas, settling west of Concordia, Kansas, in Cloud, Kansas. Nancy Fillipi passed away Apri123, 1922, and her husband Alvin April 13, 1904. Both are buried in Cloud, Kansas. Below I've inserted a family history of the Wisbey family as done by the McLeod County Historical Society in Hutchinson Minnesota.
no.
WISBEY FAMILY Joseph Wisbey was barn in Monongalia
County, Virginia on FebIuary 20, 1805 during the presidency of Thomas Jefferson. Land grant papers show that the family held prop-erty in that state, even a decade before, during the period of time George Washington held ex-ecutive office.
Following the War of 1812, plots of land in the new state of Ohio were distributed to sol-diers, their widows or descendants in lieu of bounties or pensions for Military service. Dur-ing this time the Wisbeys were awarded land in Highland County for such bounty owed the now deceased patriarch of the family, for his service in that war.
On December 22, J.828, Joseph Wisbey married Mahala Ross, grand-daughter of John Ross, a Scotsman who fought in the Revolu-tionary War, and according to family tradition, a relative of Betiy Ross. The couple first estab-lished a home in Highland County, Ohio; but then, by degrees, moved westward through In-diana and Illinois until their covered wagon arrived in Minnesota Territory, settling at Belle Plaine, Minnesota.
During the Civil War, while several of the sons were in military service, the family was compelled to seek shelter at Fort Snelling, due to Indian Uprising in the area of their home-stead.
By 1870 the family's wagons had prog-ressed still farther westward to homestead on the northwest shores of Swan Lake where the enormous task of felling the great trees took place all over again. Several of the sons, home from the War, also homesteaded nearby.
But by 1877 the elder Wisbey and his wife read about the vast tracts of treeless land in Kansas, so once again the canvas-covered wagon was prepared and the couple; now past and nearly seventy, set out from Swan Lake as autumn arrived, in company with two wagon-loads of children and grandchildren. After the first tiresome day, they discovered a _Itayr- away: a_young Filipi who could not hear iiisee his married sister' leave with her hus-band, Alvin Wisbey.
So they passed by Hutchinson once more, and headed southward. A crate of chickens and a plodding cow moved with the family. When , the twenty miles of travel for the day were complete, the chickens were let loose to forage for seeds and bugs; for the pioneers knew that domestic fowl would not stray from people in a new environment. The little milk that was left after feeding the children was placed in a covered pail d tied to the axle of the wagon to churn to butter as the party bounded over the road] terrain.
However, the elder Wisbeys were never happy with the constant winds that swept over the grasslands of Kansas. Mahala died there in Cloud County on the homestead and was bur-ied in Kendall Cemetery. Her grave is marked with a homemade limestone headstone pro-claiming that she was "horned" in Ohio July 27, 1810 and died on the first day of Decem-ber, 1888. Her husband, Joseph.. Inztaa.,1
Minnesota and his daughter Margaret Jane Wisbey-Young-Miller. So he sold his home-stead to his son and took the train back to live out his days at the Miller homestead in Hale Township, north of Silver Lake. Here he died on December 27, 1897 at the age of 92 and was buried in an unmarked grave in the Prot-estant Cemetery at Silver Lake.
Like many pioneer families, the Wisbeys were blessed with many children, all except one of whom survived the parents: Charity, who married Thomas Pettijohn — a Civil War soldier who suffered terribly in Andersonville Prison during the Conflict, but returned home to live out his life in the St. Peter, Minnesota area; Tiras, who also saw military duty and who married Diana Pettijohn; Thomas Ross, a member of still another Minnesota regiment, and husband of Clarissa Busch-Abbott; Marga-ret Jane, first married to John Young Sr. and after his death in Georgia in military service, to James A. Miller, widower from Ohio, who settled in Hale Township; Epenetus (Eppie) who was married three times: first to Harvey IL Dean, (The man who surveyed the Pres-byterian-Congregational Cemetery at Silver Lake, and who was sorely wounded in the Civil War — a casualty who later died of these injuries at Silver Lake,) and subsequently to Anthony Hawkins and John Slier; Martinis, the child who lived but a few months; Sarah, who died unmarried in middle age; Albert, also single and a mid-age victim of lip cancer, Clarkson, first married to Julia Jastrier and who, as a returning veteran, homesteaded north of Silver Lake_ Following the death of his wife, he married Jane Williams; Eli, a bright lad who taught school in a log building just north of Silver Lake, and married first Elizabeth Ward, and then Elizabeth Vance; and finally, Alvin, who wed Nancy Filipi be-fore the migration of the entire family except Margaret Jane to Kansas.
If you will note the sixth paragraph of the Wisbey Family to your left, it says "they discovered a stowaway, a young Filipi boy who could not bear to see his married sister (Nancy) leave with her husband". That young Filipi boy was my grandfather James Fillipi who later in life in Dassel, MN. He was 9 years old when this happened.

Below are census records of the Wisbey family. The upper 1880 census shows Alvin and Nancy Fillipi Wisbey in Cloud County, Kansas, with two daughters, Lillie Mae born Oct 30, 1875 in Minnesota, and Josephine born in Kansas, Oct 26, 1878. The 1910 census shows Nancy Fillipi Wisbey living in Delphos city, Kansas with two sons, Francis age 16 and Orpha age 10. Nancy's husband Alvin is not shows because he had passed away in 1904. About 1950 our family, the George Phillipe of Cokato, Minnesota, called on a Barnice Rice Wisbey (maiden name), daughter of John Wisbey (1990 - 1948) in Glasco, Kansas. She had a large family and lived on a large farm. That was the only time I met a descendent of Nancy Fillipi except 2009 When I met John Brenda, and Andrea Wisbey near Glasco, Kansas.

Nancy Fillipi Wisbey and Alvin Wisbey This is some additional information on Nancy Fillipi, wife of Alvin Wisbey. As I've
previously indicated, Nancy was the daughter of John Fillipi and Aneska Mylnar Fillipi, was born in Bohemia in 1858, came to America in 1867 and settled in Swan Lake, Minnesota. Her brothers and sisters were John Fillipe Jr., Josie Fillipe Bartush, Paul Fillipe, James Fillipe, Joseph Fillipi, Frank Fillipi, and Rudolph Fiilipi. Nancy married Alvin Wisbey Oct 4, 1873 and moved to Kansas in a covered wagon in 1877 with her husband Alvin, daughter Lillie, and Wisbey in-laws. I had very little information on Nancy and her life homesteading in Kansas. In May of 2009, I contacted John and Brenda Wisbey, 1119 Camp Rd. Glasco, Kansas. 67445, and they provided me with the information is included below. John's dad was Loren Wisbey, Loren was the son of John F. Wisbey and John F. Wisbey was the son of Alvin Wisbey and Nancy Fillipi Wisbey. Nancy Fillipe Wisbey was the sister of my grandfather Jim Fillipe of Dassel Minnesota, is my great aunt, I knew nothing about Nancy Fillipi as she died about 16 years before I was born and we never talked about her.

Information about Alvin and Nancy Fillipe Wisbey wrriten by Leon Young, Ma rch1968.
The last child of the Joseph Wishey family was Alvin born 25 July 1851 at Peoria, Illinois. Alvin aided in the ceeering of the Wisbey homestead at Swan Lake, using are and ox in the avdeous toil there in the "gig Woods". He attended the historic log school which stood north of the present vinare of Silver Lake. Here he came to know his neighbor girl, Nancy Phillipe better. She wns the daughter of Bo-herifianmmr er considering all the factors which might make her a desirable help-meet, the young Alvin, still in his very early teens, presented himself at her father's home, and with his cap held politely upon his chest, asked for her hand in marriage. Nancy, somewhat younger than Alvin, must have been about 12 or 13 at the time, but Alvin had heard of the importance of doing things correctly, socially, and had every intention of doing his expected duty in this regard.
Theyhillipee, not wishing to wound the youne boy's pride, suggested that he wait a few years, which he did, and after the
Proper interval of time, won the hand of the eirl he loved. They were married and had buried their first Child in the Clark's woods near Margaret Jane's two children before 1877.
In 1877 a wagon train wound through the leafy woods that lay along the margin of Swan Lake and headed southward into the warm spring sunshine. The horse-drawn wagons hela the patriarch Joseph and his wife lahala Wisbey together with their daughter, Sarah. Epenetus Dean rode in another with her four boys; Clarkson fol-lowed with his new bride and three of his children by his first mate; Eli wasethere with or without his two children and his wife; then came Thomas Ross Wisbey and his wife, Clarissy with the three children of her first marriage and Lois, the baby; and finally, 'Alvin with Nancy and their little baby daughter, Lillie.
The leavetaking must have been difficult for those remaining at SIZ-litake - for the Phil/IRAs, Margaret Jane_ and others whose lives had been firmly bound by close and pleasant ties, Nancy's little brother, Jim, could hardly bear the thought of being sep- erate nom es ear y-loved sister, and after the wagon train was well on its way, the party discovered a stow-away hiding be- neath some of the wagon's contents,.and at least part of the train had to return to bring Jim back home, later rejoining the rest
of the family on its trek to distant Kansas.
The wagon train wound southward slowly. At least one f11.! had tied a cow behind its vehicle, and small children ha-
restricted the mileage covered in a day. Certainly occasional storms must have delayed the family, and one can visualize deep bedding hung out between the wagons, and smokey, small fires glowing in the evening as they prepared the food at the end of a toilsome day.
After the trek was over, several of the groups traded their teams of horses for land already settled, while others established their own homestead claims. Alvin traded his team fur acme land and got a yoke of oxen as part of ransac A. le ae v stayed toeether for a couple of weeks, living in the waeons.
Seeetimes the settlers of this reeoin of Kansas lived in dugouts covered with poles and sod. Wood perhaps would have been an expensive commodity. More affluent settlers built houses of c:cne.

Bernice Rice, daughter of Josephine Wisbey Bellows. Josephine was the daughter of Alvin
and Nancy Fillipi Wisbey, wrote the following:
Nancy was the second child born to the Fillipe family. I have found no one in the family but what thought her real name was Nancy. This is what George Phillipe wrote; Your grandmother, Nancy Wisbey's name, I thin is "Aneska", which more correctly, could be Agnes, and I think that Nancy was a pet name. Nancy's mothers name on the headstone at her grave is Aneska, and in the church records it is written, Agnes, so it may be Nancy was named after her mother. Nancy married Alvin Wisbey before she was 16 years old and Alvin was 22 years old. About 4 years after they married, and the birth and death of a baby (Aunt Lillie says a girl), and a 2 year old Lithe; Nancy and Alvin, leaving all of Nancy's family in Minnesota, came, with several of the Wisbey's came by covered wagons to Kansas (1877).
Aunt Lillie, had told the Wisbey's live in their covered wagons for two weeks at Concordia. Uncle Walter tells the next day after they arrived in Concordia, Nancy fixed a lunch for Alvin, before starting south, Alvin removed the seat and top from the wagon to make a shade for Nancy and Lillie. About noon Alvin stopped at a place (which later became the old Wisbey homestead) at this time a widow lady lived there, who was a sister of Aunt Mary Wilcox (as the Wisbey children called her). In their conversation, Alvin mentioned he was looking for a place, so the widow lady told him to unhitch his team and bring his lunch, while they were eating, a deal was made. Alvin traded his small team of brown mares and the wagon for the 160 acres and a yoke of oxen. Alvin was to use the team and wagon to bring his wife and daughter to their new home. What the place they lived in was like. I'm not sure, but
more or less a dugout with a sod roof. I'm sure my mother, Josephine, was born in this dugout and possibly more of the older children. 1 have no date when the first rock house was built, but they tell me the rock was quarried on the place to build
A young Wisbey boy along on the wagon trip to Kansan in 1877, was Ed Wisbey. Ed was a
nephew of Alvin Wisbey, husband of Nancy Fillipi Wisbey. At the time of the trip Ed was 6
years old. He was a neighbor to my grandfather, Jim Fillipe, in Swan Lake Minnesota. He recorded the comments below in 1969, a shot time before he died.
There was three covered wagons at least ...if 1 ain't mi s taken ...Dad an& us, inglg_a_nns and I don't know who did run the other runs... there was three at least, we all went at the same tine (this is the covered wagon train of Wisbeys that left twart Lake for Kansas in the autumn of 1877 when the narrator was six.) It jest seems like I got a faint re- collection of he 'boy they found in the wagons—but wouldn't a thought of it again. Oh, I can remember when they'd stop and curry the horses and rest 'em and that long trip back there...and we got tired... they'd build a little camp fire...they fixed a lot of food before they started.
When Ed Wisbey got to Kansan, he lived in a dugout not too far from Alvin was Nancy Fillipi, and their daughter Lillie. He wrote the following about the sod house/dugout.
I remember there was a thousand-legged. worm that stunk something awful when you'ld. smash them. They'd crawl in the house in spite of all you could do...under the door or between the windows.
They put a long tree over the dugout for a ridge pole, and then smaller trees for rafters, then they put the brush on, then the straw or hay on and then the outside was all covered over with magnisha. (Kansas dugout+ a first home there)
One morning we got up and seen the blamed rattlesnakes a-crawling up i. the poles right over the table.. They could wiggle in somewhere in the edge of the roof don't you. know...the back end of the dugout was right next to the ground, they could get a good start there. I can remember that just as plain.... I've jumped over more than one of *em...I was running down the road once..my Dad sent me for a b.ammer..he was going t fix the hog fence...there was rattlesnakes all over there...there was on in a ditch there. 1 pinned my ears back, and. boy, was I a-goin! I could. stop. When i got down the road. there was a kind of a little cross road. When I got there there was an old rattlesnake standin there with his of head up, you kntnr, Boy, I jumped just as high as J. could, and I yelled bloody murder., and my Dad come and killed him.
vie didn't live in our sod. house too long.

Ed Wisbey's first cousins were the two daughters of Alvin and Nancy Fillipc Wisbcy, Lillie born Oct 30, 1875 and Josephine born Oct 28, 1878. He wrote the following about his cousins:
ti told him that I had seen the stone house that Alvin built on a trip to Kansas a couple of years ago, and that the house was still in use) Is that right? - I often wondered- Lillie and Josie; I wonder if they're livr5r(Upon hearing that Lillie was still living and attributed her long life to hard work and asprin, he chuckled merrily) Wellsir, I've taken a good many asprins and done a lot of hard work in my life...if there's something I haven't done, I'd like to know what it is.
Lillie, she was redheaded, wasn't she? - seems to me it was a pretty reddish brown or red; I think it was red. Josie, she was younger, and John.. I wonder if hews alivin? Seems like Lillie had a sister, too... she must be younger than she was....Yessir, great old things2 I can see that road down there hust as plain as if it was yesterday...
Ed Wisbey also wrote about making sorghum in Kansas.
Ya, I can remember they made sorghum in them days, and I was the only kid around there and. in the way, of course—they had everything all ready the cane was stripped, laying there in a pile and they didn't know what t do with me. wellsir, they had a horse there..it pulled the sweep-that's a long pole that turned the press.. Well, they nailed a board on the sweep end, and another board up like this for a back, don't you know, and they put me on there and tied me there with a string, and then I was out of the road...and boy, I was doin big business..I was right to home, I rode round and round there. And I cam remember them when they boiled that stuff down, and emptied that big vat...almost like a boat, it was,— tin.. they all got their knives and spoons and ate...boy, I can jest taste it yet!

Back: Josephine, Nancy 32, John 11, Lillie May 16, Alvin 40 Front: Emerson 3, Walter James 6, about 1890.
Alvin and Nancy built a stone house for their family in about 1880. The pictures above show their family in front of the house about 1890 and 1903. This photo shows the house in 2009. It is vacant but is a beautiful limestone house built from stone located on the farm. Alvin obviously was a talented stone mason.

Alvin Wisbey - Bernice Rice, granddaughter of he Wisbeys, wrote the following in 1969
Alvin was in failing health for sometime before his death at 11 A.M. August 13, 1904. His illness was creeping paralysis. The day of his death they were threshing, the machine was shut down, neighbors came and helped with the dinner and assisted in many other ways. At this time Lillie and Josephine were married and lived in homes of their own. Lillie lived in Nebraska, she made a trip home to see her father and stayed for sometime, but had returned to Nebraska before her father had passed away. At this time her children were small and she was unable to come back for the funeral.
At the age of 46, Nancy was loft a widow to raise her family alone. At this time there were 6 children at home, ranging from 24 to 5 years of age with the help of the older children, she was able to stay on the farm until 1910, when she had a sale and moved to Delphos, where she had purchased a home. Nancy's mother passed away in June 1910, it must have been sometime after this that her father decided that he wanted to come to Kansas to make his home with Nancy. The father, with his son James came to Delphos, the family recalls the father brought his feather bed with him. After staying a short time, when James was ready to go back to Minnesota, the father was ready to go with him. It seems during the 33 years since Nancy left Minnesota and the Fffiipe family, she no longer spoke the native Bohemian language and her father did not speak English. So the father, with his feather bed returned to Minnesota with his son James. The father died the next year, June 28,1911.
During the 12 years Nancy lived in Delphos, she as always busy doing various jobs. When a new grandchild made its appearance, Nancy there to help out, in case of sickness, she was there to assist, either the family or a neighbor. At one time she worked in a restaurant. Nancy worked for the Billings family, doing housework and baking. If she wasn't busy away from home, she would be making comforters and quilts at home. I am sure that many of her grandchildren have worn mittens she had knit, I know I have. Her means of transportation at this time was a horse, "Plato" and a top buggy. As my folks lived about half way between Delphos and the Wisbey homestead, on her way to the farm, if she went in the morning she would stop and have dinner with us, or if it was afternoon, she would stay overnight and go on the next morning.
About the first of the year, 1922, Nancy's health failed, the family took cure of her until her suffering became so great it was necessary to have a nurse care for her. On April 23, 1922, Nancy passed away. On a damp, misty April day, she was laid to rest in the Kendell Cemetery, by the side of her husband, Alvin. When we look back on the life of Nancy and Alvin we can see it was not an easy life, but very rugged with lots of hard work.

Leon Young wrote the following about the Wisbey Family.
I think you will agree that the Wisbey family is a remarkable one. Here were dauntless men and women who set forth with a purpose. They wrested the fertile lands of Minnesota from the great forests, and they plowed long furrows into the waving grass lands of the prairies. They crossed miles and miles of frontier to begin anew on the shoreS of another lake or the banks of an-other river. They suffered the hardships and sorrows of pioneers, hut always, with a stern will to succeed and an unyielding belief in the goodness and purposes of God.

Fanny P
hillipe since it was considered a eure-all for everything from
belly-aches to rheum
atism). N
aturally there were em
pty bottles around the place and shortly before grandm
other's death, grandfather Phillipe bought som
e carbolic acid which
was used as a rem
edy for getting rid of insects, like bed hugs, etc. which w
as very com
mon then. A
n empty linim
ent bottle had been used for the acid and grandm
other mistakenly took w
hat she thought was her tonic of linim
ent and instead used carbolic acid. S
he died before help arrived. I was young at the tim
e and w
hat Pm
telling you is the way it w
as told to me in later years. T
here may be
other versions on this but I'm passing on the story I have and believe."
When 1,(B
ernice) visited Albin (G
eorge's brother) in his home in D
assel, Minn. in
1968, Albin m
entioned about his grandmother getting carbolic acid and her
medicine m
ixed and taking the acid, which caused her death. A
fter relating this to A
unt Lillie, she also rem
embered hearing about the accidental death of her
grandmother F
illipe. G
randfather Phillipe died at the hom
e of his daughter „limit B
artush, June 28, 1911 at the age of 78 years, 11 m
onths and 10 days. John F
illipe, the oldest child in the Fillipe fam
ily grew up in the S
ilver Lake area.
H m
arried Anna lids and they w
ere the parents of Edw
ard, Marie, H
enry and M
ice. George P
hillipe looked up the survivors some years ago, they had m
oved to the R
ed River V
alley itt Minn. T
hey were a num
erous brood. George w
as told they had a striking resem
blance to our people like a generous nose, etc. Som
e of them
had developed into "big wheel" w
heat farmers and counted their holdings by
sections; to them, the term
acres seemed alm
ost meaningless—
but they understood quarters and sections, T
hey couldn't understand how anyone could m
ake a living on 40-80 acres like G
eorge's folks were doing. John died in O
ct. 1915. N
ancy was the second child born to the F
illipe family. I have found no one in the
family but w
hat thought her real name w
as Nancy. T
his is what G
eorge Phillipe
wrote; Y
our grandmother, N
ancy Wisbey's nam
e, I thin is "Aneska", w
hich more
correctly, could be Agnes, and I think that N
ancy was a pet nam
e. Nancy's m
others nam
e on the headstone at her grave is Aneska, and in the church records it is
written, A
gnes, so it may be N
ancy was nam
ed after her mother. N
ancy married
Alvin W
isbey before site was 16 years old and A
lvin was 22 years old. A
bout 4 years after they m
arried, anal the birth and death of a baby (Aunt L
illie says a girl), and a 2 year old L
illie; Nancy and M
aim leaving all of N
ancy's family in M
innesota, came,
with several of the W
isbey's ease by covered wagons to K
ansas (1877). A
unt Lillie, had told the W
isbey's live in their covered wagons fur tw
o weeks at
Concordia. U
ncle Walter tells the next day sifter they arrived in C
oncordia, Nancy
fixed a lunch for Alvin, before starting south, A
lvin removed the seat and top from
the w
agon to make a shade for N
ancy and Lillie. A
bout noon Alvin stopped at a
place (which later becam
e the old Wishes), hom
estead) at this time a w
idow lady lived
there, who w
as a sister of Aunt M
ary Wilcox (as the W
isbey children called her). In their conversation, A
lvin mentioned be w
as looking for a place, so the widow
lady told him
to unhitch his team and bring his lunch, w
hile they were eating, a deal w
as m
ade. Alvin traded his sm
all team of brow
n mares and the w
agon for the 160 acres and a yoke of oxen. A
lvin was to use the team
and wagon to bring hix w
ife and daughter to their new
home. W
hat the place they lived in w
as like. I'm not sure, but
more or less a dugout w
ith a sod roof. I'm sure m
y mother, Josephine, w
as born in this dugout and possibly m
ore of the older children. I have no date when the first
rock house was built, but they tell m
e the rock was quarried on the place to build
the house. Aunt D
ottie says when she w
as 6 years old and Uncle E
merson w
as 5, their m
other took them to M
innesota on a visit, when they cam
e home they w
ere building and addition on the east of the original house and this w
as in 1893. Before
this, when U
ncle John was a sm
all boy, Alvin, N
ancy, Lillie, Josephine and John
went to M
innesota on the train for a visit. The last trip N
ancy made to M
inn. was in
1916 when she and her youngest daughter, °tithe, w
ent for a visit. A
lvin was in failing health for som
etime before his death at 11 A
.M. A
ugust 13, 1904. H
is illness was creeping paralysis. T
he day of his death they were threshing,
the machine w
as shut down, neighbors cam
e and helped with the dinner and
assisted in many other w
ays. At this tim
e Lillie and Josephine w
ere married and
lived in homes of their ow
n. Lillie lived in N
ebraska, she made a trip hom
e to see her father and stayed for som
etime, but had returned to N
ebraska before her father had passed aw
ay. At this tim
e her children were sm
all and she was unable to com
e hack for the funeraL
A
t the age of 46, Nancy w
as left a widow
to raise her family alone. A
t this time
there were 6 children at hom
e, ranging from 24 to 5 years of age w
ith the help of the older children, she w
as able to stay on the farm until 1910, w
hen she had a sale and m
oved to Delphos, w
here she had purchased a home. N
ancy's mother passed aw
ay in June 1910, it m
ust have been sometim
e after this that her father decided that he w
anted to come to K
ansas to make his hom
e with N
ancy. The father, w
ith his son Jam
es came to D
elphos, the family recalls the father brought his feather bed w
ith him
. After staying a short tim
e, when Jam
es was ready to go back to M
innesota, the father w
as ready to go with hint. It seem
during the 33 years since Nancy left
Minnesota and the F
illipe family, she no longer spoke the native B
ohemian language
and her father did not speak English. S
o the father, with his feather bed returned to
Minnesota w
ith his son James. T
he father died the next year, June 28, 1911. D
uring the 12 years Nancy lived in D
elphos, she as always busy doing various
jobs. When a new
grandchikl made its appearance, N
ancy there to help out, in case of sickness, she w
as there to assist, either the family or a neighbor. A
t one time she
worked in a restaurant. N
ancy worked for the B
illings family, doing housew
ork and baking. If she w
asn't busy away from
home, she w
ould be making com
forters and quilts at hom
e. I am sure that m
any of her grandchildren have worn m
ittens she had knit,I know
1 have. Her m
eans of transportation at this time w
as a horse, "P
lato" and a top hum. A
s my folks lived about half w
ay between D
elphos and the W
isbey homestead, on her w
ay to the farm, if she w
ent in the morning she w
ould stop and have dinner w
ith us, or if it was afternoon, she w
ould stay overnight and go on the next m
orning. A
bout the first of the year, 1922, Nancy's health failed, the fam
ily took care of her until her suffering becam
e so great it was necessary to have a nurse care for her.
On A
pril 23, 19'22, Nancy passed aw
ay. On a dam
p, misty A
pril day, she was laid to
rest in the Kendell C
emetery, by the side of her husband, A
lvin. When w
e look back on the life of N
ancy and Alvin w
e can see it was not an easy life, but very rugged
with lots of hard w
ork.

)
Josie was born in Borova, Austrian Hapsburg Empire, January 3, 1860, to John and Aneska Fillipe Sr. She traveled with her brothers, sisters and parents on the Olbers, arriving in New York July 31, 1867. It must have been quite a trip for 7 years old from a small town in Bohemia. The next record I have of Josie (also called Josephine) is her October 10, 1875, wedding to John Bartush. Josie was 15 and John was 21 when they married. The 1880 Federal Census shows the couple living in Hale Township, near her parents, the John Fillipe Srs' two daughter had been born - Lillie and Agnes.

Dear Jim,
It was great meeting you a few weeks ago at Ken and Darlene Carlson's house. Even though we probably had never met before, I could tell that we were related as I really sensed a family connection.
t enjoyed our conversation and you're filling me in on the Phillipe side of the family. I admire you for all the time and effort that you have put into tracing the family tree. As my dad was one of three and the oldest boy in his family, most of the history and photographs from his parents ended up with me. I was going through my Grandma Keller's photo box last night and knew that I had pictures that you may enjoy having. Most of the photo's are of your ancestor's but some may not have a connection. You may keep them all as I know they may help you with piecing together some parts of the family puzzle.
I also found quite a few pictures of Darlene's side of the family which I will get to her. As we grow older these types of things mean more to us than they would to our descendants.
Hope things arc going well with you and bet that you are gearing up for the skiing season. If I get out your way, I will give you a call and hopefully we could get together again. Also, if I find any more pictures or Phillipe family or memorabilia I will send it to you,
Ta Care,
Chuck Ehlers

Reminiscences of Lauretta Bartush Pipal, 1992 (age 96)

I
i ..".
My rather aathaa would take us out to seec.aohn and Lillis (Jacobson]. WE limed an the south side of Daasel, and they laved on -aniaaalarath
alga. so that was quite a ways to ala. Thoaft earls the noase-and-buggy days, of course. Then we would stay for- a few nays: me girls would play. Mayme and Ruth would call me Aunt
Lauri% even though I was only 10 yeaara or so older. And Lillie had a special name far me---she cal led me "Etta.'.
can pictuaa bast the hawse whera John, Lillian, Mayme and Ruth lived an the farm as if it ware today. They had a big dining
room, big hutch and big table, living. roam and bedroom. Off the kitchen they had a asummeaaitchan" where they did more Cooking. They had a Piano In the front room. They really had it pretty nice.
Lillie would never go anywhere before she'd take a bath. In those days, that was a job! Heat the water on the stove ... one
Of those 1310 washtubs. Lillie was very beautiaal.
LIllie worked right beside her husband, husking the corn. At night she would oaten her canvas gloves so they'd ne ready for work the next day.
Lillian Grace was a wonderful oggyin but not too well. Che was well when aha was marriad. Jolt g a wonderful person too. Ha livad in a Tittle yellow houses hot *an from whore we lived, but
then he found Lil lie! He was much older than L11110 (16 veers). Our parents (though Czech) didn't mind her marrying a Swede--he was a goad caeraaan. I never mat eatin's parents tperhaos they never came from Sweden). He had a Sister. Betsy. They lived together- canvas John and Lillie got married. Than she Moved away.
Lillie had a real hard time when Maya= was aCian. I was there. The OoCtor gave her up. He said, "That's ail I can do. She's in the hands of Sod.a And I remember we sat around the potbelly stove oravIna aor troth mother and baby ... Paddy, Mama, John and I--wa all knelt thare around the stows and orayad. And she lived!
I don't remamaer clearly when Ruth was born. But I shall never
forget the day Alfred wag born. Oh, but John cried. It was terrible to lose a little son. He was stillborn. This wail in the summer. Daddy and I took the little COffin to the aaaVayara, flamers all around. I can remember that as if it was today. Lots of tnings 1 forget but some things are just so vivid.
(What were Lillia's inter-oats'?) She sang some. but nothing
really exceptional. She loved to cook. Sholmada the beat
vegetable soup I over ate.
The t4elaans were auah good friends of theirs out on the -VOrm.
The girls would go across (the highway) and play with each other. These warm the years when Lillie waa sick. She had a goiter, high blood pressure and kidney failure. I always wanted to be a

vilthda$
(EXCERPTS PROM HER AUTOBIOGRAPHY - written September 7, 1986)
"I was born Hay 9. 1895 in Glance, MN to a wonderful pair of Christian parents. Papa owned e grocery store in Glenco, which he sold, when I was seven, and he bought a lovely 40 acre fare near Deese'. I was very happy at home, had a contented childhood. We never had a car, but had a nice horse and buggy. We would drive to Dassel to the 'Baptist Church by the Mill' on Sundays and Wednesday evenings. I attended Collinwood School for 8 years. That is all the education I've had, but I love to read. I. read every book I can get my hands on. Papa always taught me to "think twice before I spoke". Once I was his hired rose, we worked together and I loved it. Also I was Hama's housekeeper. Later it seemed Mama got stronger so I want to work for Dr. Dulude in Dassel. I got weekends off, so I wield go home and help my folks.
So life want on till I was 23 years old. Then Milo came into my life, Christmas 1917. We were married in my folks home on May 29, 1118. We stayed around for a week and then took the train home to Blue Earth, Wisconsin. We fived on a big hilly farm of 390 acres. It was so hard to leave my parents whom I loved very much. Sut they said they would get along, and were happy that I was marrying a Christian man. I was very lonely at first. I didn't know anyone there but my husband. On April 14, 1919 I gave birth to our first baby boy, Eldon. Oh. how precious he was! I didn't get lonesome so much any more.
Milo got disgusted farming those hills, so we sold the farm and came to Minnesota. We had four more children. Don, who came 4 years after Sidon. Then Wesley 4 years later and then a baby girl, Lorraine, 3 years later. Then we waited 7 more years and finally had Beverly. It was a lovely Complete family, but it was hard to reek* a living on a small 60 acre farm.
intheWs,thetimeofthedepresAori,welivedImiles from 4 •a wit mtowe and had
cites.no conveniences. The winters were hard because we wares snowbound so One year we were snowbound a month. we couldn't haul milk to the creamery, so churned our butter, and fed the rest to the pigs. Also we got short of groceriee so our friend who had a smell Cesna plane flew in some groceries, landing on a nearby lake.
The children all graduated from High School. When our children all left home we were alone and Milo and I worked together. It was hard. and after r had a heart attack Milo and Bev found a house in Cokato. We sold the farm and moved into town. It was like heaven - we had all the conveniences. It wasn't too long after we moved into Cokato that Milo found out he had bone eancer. Now he suffered. We always said when the lime came that he couldn't sing, he would want to die. that time came - he died October 4, 1961. Bev and Gene ware married on October 20th. Plans for the wedding had been made AO the wedding went through as planned with only closest relatives and friends attending.
After that I sold the house to Bev and Gene and I moved into an upstairs 1 apartment just across from my church. 3ev was secretary at school and she got me interested in babysitting for the teacher's children which I enjoyed very much as I love children, Later I moved into the Tracy apartments just across from the bank. I lived there 14 years. That was whore I loafed when I broke my hip. To make it shorter, I moved again. Then I fell and broke my other hip, 2 wrists, pelvic bone and several ribs. My ribs break easily. The doctors told me that I would never be able to walk again. That really brought on the tears.
t Hence I was in a wheelchair - my "Rolls Royce". God has been wonderful and given me strength a day at a time. Oh, PeS, ' there are times when I get blue or lonely but I have so much to be thankful,
Well, I guest I have het the high and low spots of my life. God has been with ' me through it all and here I am broken bodied. One doesn't die of broken bones,
one just suffers. So now I. am waiting, yes waiting for Cod to call me home. Cod bless you, guide and keep yoU. See you in heaven!
Laurette Pipal is a century old today

10 I was born on April 8, 18e0 to John and Josephine Bartueh at Swan Lake, Minnesota
10
My father was post master at Silvor Lake, Mienesota for several years, then we moved to Glencoe, Minnesota where my father operated his own grocery and confectionery
110
store for several years. I attended school in Glencoe through tho 6th grade, but had to quit dunTmy mother's illnous.
10 We were membort of the Conereeetionel Chureb, until dieeention arose among the church
10
memzers, and half of the members joined the Methodist Church which we also jcincd end attended for several years. We had a minireeer who came from-Silver Lake one .enemy
10 each month to hold services in Czech.
10
I had three sisters, Lillian who was two years older than I and who married John Jacobson and lived on a fez= near Dasscl Minn. They had two daughters, lame aed ik uth

10
And Laurette who married Milo Pipel t7ee-:.-emmmeeemeeeemeemamenkay. They had two daughters and throe sons.
10 Years later my father sold his store in Glencoe, and we moved to a farm near Passel 1111)
whore we attended a small Methodist church in the country, and where I officiated as organist. The Pastor would send me the hymn numbers so that I could practice during
la the week.
110
I was then keeping company with William J. Ehlers Prom 61eneoe and after about two years we were married at Silver Lake by tb Presbyterian minister who was a door friend
10
of ours, on June 8, 1904. We taught a farm near Dassel and Grandma Ealere made her home with us until her death.
10
Our three children, Marline, John and Richard were born while we lived on the farm, ad all attended school in Dassel.
My husband, illiam a. Ehlers, died of pneumonia on December 28, 19,2 while we wel.e living in where he worked as a maintenance man for the National Tea Co.; and he was buried in Glencoe in a lot where his parents were buried and Which I expect tc be my final resting place.
Several years after Dad passed away I was married to George Keller. Mr. Keller, my son, Richard and I went to visit Mr.,Keller's daughter in Wyoming, but I didn't feel welcome there, so I asked Mr. Keller to go bate.: to Minnesota, but ho refused, so Richard and I came back alone. After we had been in Minnesota for scme time, I received divorce papers to sign, whibhI did willingly, as I saw that our marriage was a mistake.
I have tried to be a kind and loving, mother, mother-in-law, grandmother and great grandmother. If I have failed I am truly sorry and hope you will all forgive me. I am quite unhappy here, but know it must be God's will. Cne comforting thought is that perhess I can bring a little bit of sunshine to others less fortunate then I.
Lots of love and fond menories

Paul Peter l'hillipe
Paul was born in Borova, Bohemia, June 30, 1865. I note his grave stone in Mott
North Dakota gives 1863 as a birth year but census records say 1865. Two years later, July
31, 1867, Paul arrived in New York with his parents aboard the ship "Olbers". This would
have been quite a trip for a two year old boy, crossing the Atlantic Ocean on a 150ft, three
mast sailing ship. After the ocean journey, Paul moved to Hale Minnesota, a small
settlement on the 1870 census. Some years later, he met and married Josephine Ziek of
Glencoe. Josephine was born about 1863 in Bohemia, and came to America in 1883. While
in the Silver Lake area, Paul applied for and was granted citizenship, December 29, 1896.
Note the citizenship papers at the end of the chapter, and note his brother James attested to
"he has behaved himself as a man of good moral character, attached to the principles of the
constitution of the United States". Paul also had sworn to support the constitution and to
"absolutely and entirely renounce all allegiance to the emperor of Austria whose subject he
was" Pail moved from Hale about 1897 to Collingwood Township, south of Dassel, MN.
The 1900 census of the United States shows him living there with his wife Josephine, his son
Adolph, born May 1887, a daughter Ellis (Alice) born June 1888, a daughter Lillie born April
1891. A later census shows the birth of another son Art (Arthurs) in 1906. The next record I have of the family is the June 29, 1905 issue of the Dassel MN,
newspaper, "The Anchor". It states Sam Cox and Alice Fillipe (Paul's daughter) were
married at the bride's home in North Dakota. According to George Phillipe, nephew of Paul,
Sam Cox drowned in Lake Washington a few months after the wedding. Apparently by 1905 Paul had moved his family to North Dakota from the Morton
Prairie Roots. I find the following. It claims Paul moved to North Dakota about 1896. This
is probably wrong as the U.S census shows him by Dassel in 1900.
The following is hearsay and I don't know if its true. It was told to me by George
Phillipe years ago. The first year, Paul and his family were in North Dakota, they built a sod
house for a living shelter with a lean-to on the side for the animals and started farming.
This was on homesteaded land and near the town of St. Anthony (town was Strain, North
Dakota). In the fall, a huge blizzard started and lasted for three days. Paul was in town
buying supplies and couldn't get back. Josie and the children stayed in bed to keep warm.
For fuel in the stove they burned cow chips (dry manure). There were few trees in the area
to use for fuel, so they burned what was available. Many of their neighbors froze to death.
I don't know how long they lived in Strain, North Dakota, but eventually they moved to
Mott. As a child, we visited Mott in 1948, and I remember meeting Paul, Josie, son Art, and
daughter-in-law Pauline. I never met the other children, Adolph, Ellis, or Lillie.

Dassel Anchor June 29, 1905
The Paul Phillipes came from Czechoslovakia to Dassel.
Minnesota in 1884, where three children were born: Alice,
Adolph and Lillian. They moved from Dassel to south of Mandan
about 1896. They shipped their belongings on the Northern
Pacific Railroad flat car to Bismarck, crossed the Missouri River
on a barge. They drove a team and wagon to the Strain Flats
along the Little Heart Creek. Wolves trailed the wagon for
miles. They stopped at a homestead of Preston Inman located
nearby. Another son Arthur, was born in later life to the Phillipes.
Mrs. Phillipe was a nurse in Europe, and helped many people that
suffered from joint ailments and delivered in' excess of SOO
babies. Many of the senior citizens of this area owe their lives to
Josephine Phillipe who lived to be ninety-three years of age. Paul
died at the age of ninety-four years. They retired at Mott, North
Dakota.

Mr. and Mrs. Emil J. Fisher Sr.
EMIL FISHER
Emil John Fisher was born at Wassau, Wisconsin, to William anrI Augusta Fisher on April 10, 1883, and died November 21, WM. The parents of Emil were born in Germany. They immi- grated to Wisconsin, then to Madison. South Dakota. In 1902.
along with his brother Albert, left Madison to join their sis-ter end brother-in-law, Emma and Pete Cosgrove, who were tomesteading six miles southwest of what is now St. Anthony.
1 its entire belongings of the two Fisher brothers consisted of a
smell pack on their backs. Emil walked forty-two miles from men-den fo the Cosgrove home. No one was at home at the Cas-groves and Emil had a great talent of scaring people, therefore. he hid in the shack, or home of his sister. It was getting dark when the Casgroves arrived home. Emil. hiding behind the door, listening and waiting for the family to come in, let out with an Indian war whoop when his sister and three little boys came into the house. Emma was deathly afraid of Indians and always car-ried a six gun. She proceeded to empty the gun with Emil yelling. "Emma. it is me, Emil.- He could have been shot Emil worked for his sister's husband for several years, then took a homestead one and one-half miles from his sister's farm. His brother Albert, took a homestead west of Emil's. The nearest post office was e stopping place called Strain, which was a little colony of homes-teaders about six miles from the Black Hills Trail.
Emil Fisher met a young school teacher, Alice Phiirpe. who a homestead and taught school, Alice was born to Pant and
Josephine, nee Zeek. Phillip* on June 12. 1888 and died July 7. 1956. The Paul Phillipes came from Czechoslovakia to ()asset, Minnesota in 1884, where three children were born: Alice, Adolph and Lillian. They moved from Damsel to south of Mandan about 1896. They shipped their belongings on the Northern Pacific Railroad flat car to Bismarck, crossed the Missouri River on a barge. They drove a team and wagon to the Strain Flats along the Little Heart Creek. Wolves trailed the wagon for miles. They stopped at a homestead of Preston Inman located nearby. Another son Arthur, was born in later life to the Phillipes. Mrs. Phillipe was a nurse in Europe. and helped many people that suffered from joint ailments and delivered in' excess of 500 babies. Many of the senior citizens of this area owe their lives to Josephine Phillip* who Paved to be ninety-three years of age. Paul died at the age of ninety-four years. They retired at Mott, North Dakota.
Emil and his wife Alice were married April 10, 1907. Alice sold her homestead to her father and became a housewife. Many of the neighbor children came to the Fisher home to study as there were no schools in the area and she helped with their letter writ-ing, They attended the Lutheran Church. Emil received three horses from his sister's husband and a sulky plow. He became a large farmer and rancher. At times mother nature was kind to the young Fishers, and other times very bad with hail, wind, prai-rie fires, snow storms and hot dry weather, but the young Fishers survived it all and became successful in farming and ranching.
To them were born twelve children, namely Elmer. Iola, Rob-ert, Garnet (deceased), Emil, Jr., Adolph (deceased). Arlee. Arthur, Alice, Clifford, Arnold. and Glenn. They had 43 grand-children, 42 great-grandchildren. and seven great-greet-grand-children. The children of Emil and Alice are all married and live within an hour's drive of the old homestead seven miles south-west of St. Anthony where Clifford now lives.

II), Lillie Fillipe Klesalic, born April 1891, near Hale Minnesota (or possible Glencoe),
was a second daughter of Paul and Josephine. I have no information on her other than she moved to Oregon. Apparently she was married and had a family. I also heard one of her sons worked for the forestry service in Montrose, Colorado about 1970.
Art Phillipe was a son of Paul and Josephine. He was born in 1906 and assed away in 1970 and is buried in Mott, North Dakota. Art married Pauline Rohff of Mt. Vernon, South Dakota, September 12, 1932. We visited Mott in 1948 and I remember Art and Pauline. They were both upbeat, friendly, cordial, and made a lasting impression on me so that 60 years later I still remember them.
Adolph Phillipe was Paul's oldest child, being born in 1886 and passing away February 15, 1974. The 1910 census shows Adolph Paul Phillipe living with Alice and Emil Fisher in Morton County, North Dakota. By the 1920 census he was married to Eve (born September 21, 1891 - December 9, 1976) From Sweden. Per Vicki Phillipe Wood, Eva came to America from Sweden on a coffin ship that used to carry deceased American WWI soldiers. It was also said Eva's parents disowned her when she married Adolph. The 1930 census shows Adolph and Eva living in Mott, North Dakota, and having three children. The birth dated of the children are approximate as my records a re sketchy. Loretta born 1915 (married name Boelz), Lallora Mae Phillipe Steinert born 1917, Rita Lou Phillipe Seidler born after 1930, and Archie Phillipe born 1925. Archie served in the Navy during WWII and in 1947 left Mott and moved to Creston Iowa, passing away in 2006. Archie married Dottie Thomas (deceased 1998) and had three children shown below.

Loretta Boetz, age 93, lived in Mankato, Minnesota, but is moving to Phenix. Lallora Mar Steinert, Bismark North Dakota has a son and a daughter. She possibly had a daughter Vicki who was killed in a car accident. My records may not be complete and the above info maybe incorrect.

Frantisek and Josephine (13ochta) Zich were the parents of this Zich line. They came to this country along with their children, sometime in 1874s from Divisove, County Dyadic.), in Mor-avia. Frantisek (1817-1908) and Josephine (18294908) daughter of Antonin Ductile, lived with their children on arrival to this country. Their children included lose hint (married u pr, ranee% marry a
arYte namect in Moravia; Annie (mar-ried Joe Svec); Joseph (married Sophie Pa. pelka) and Frank rich (married a widow, Anna Kopeck's, daughter of Des Wit and wife Josephine.Totushek). Frantisek and Josephine are buried in the Bear Creek Cemetery.
Frank Zich (1849-1936) and Anna Uhlir Kopecky Tafel (1840.1908) lived on a farm near Glencoe, Minnesota. In Moravia, Frank made his living as a cloth weaver, and in this country took up farming. They had quite a large family. consisting of Antonia (wed to Am tun Moravec): &MU (wed to .14/t Tepley); Agnes (wife of John Bane); Mary (wife of Au-gust Tepley); Frances (wed to Frank Mikesh); Anna (married James Ss); Josephine (mar-ried Albert Salaba); Joseph (wed a Dvorak) and Frank J.

It has been stated by the grandchildren that Frank Sr. and his brother Joseph were often referred to as "black Doh and white Zich" mum of the color of their long beards. It is also noted that the Zich's had many family gat-tar/ethers. and Frank Sr. felt it to be very im-portant that the relatives get together as Me families grew large and spread out.

Paul was awarded U.S. citizenship December 29, 1896. He was nominated by John Vojta and his brother James Fillipi. If you will notice, he had to renounce all allegiance to the Emperor of Austria. Paul was born in Borova, Bohemia, at the time of Paul's. birth, Bohemia was part of the Hapsburg controlled Austrian Empire. In general, our relatives did not like the Hapsburg rulers and were anxious to immigrate to America. If you will note on census records on another page, the census spells Paul's name Phillipe.

James Fillipe (September 3, 1868 - April 18, 1952)
James was the first child of John Sr. and Aneska Myinar Fillipe born in America. The Fillipe family arrived in America July 31, 1867 and James was born 13 months later September 3, 1868. Some records show him born September 3, 1867, but I can't verify the earlier birth. He was probably named after John Fillipe Sr.'s father, Vaclav(James) Filipi of Borova, Bohemia, Austrian Empire in Europe. I just noted the June, 1870, census of Hale shows James' age being three. I guess that would mean he probably was born September of 1867. This would mean his mother Aneska was pregnant on the boat trip across the Atlantic. I've been unable to find any other records of James during childhood. I note on an 1880 map of Hale Township in Minnesota, a John Miska, owning land next to James' father. The next thing that happens is that he marries the girl next door, Francis Miska, daughter of farmer John Miska Sr. The wedding takes place at his wife's parent's home about January 1, 1891. Shortly after the wedding, James and Francis move to Hopkins, Minnesota, when James works for the St. Paul and Pacific Railroad (later called Great Northern). Note below the Minnesota State inspectors certificate issued to James, July 16, 1891, to work on steam boilers.
James Frullipe, Grandson of Branca and James, Francis Miska Fillipe, wife of James Fillipe, age 5, at birth place of Francis in Bohemia. 1879.
Stationary boiler inspector license issued to James Phillipe July 16, 1891, in Willmar, Minnesota

June 1870 census shows James, age 3, living in Hale, Minnesota. First know photo of James Fillipe, about 1887.
The next record of James shows him living in Collingwood Township June 12, 1900. See federal census below: Apparently he had moved away from Hopkins and was farming south of Dassel, Minnesota. Note the Hutchinson Leader blurb showing him passing through Hutchinson April 4, 1905, on his way to Collingwood Lake.

James apparently had two parcels of land in Collingwood Township as from the "Litchfield Saturday Review". He sold property to Joe Miska and Paul Phillipe (brother to James) on December 14, 1901. Paul apparently moved his family to Collingwood in 1901, then in 1904, sold out and took his family to North Dakota. James and family continued to lie in Collingwood on property owned by Frank Phillipe, John Phillipe Jr., and James. The family lived on this property till 1909 when they were evicted by a bank foreclosure and sheriffs sale. See article from "Dassel Anchor", April 18, 1909. From the "Dassel Anchor", James Filipe bought land north of Dassel March 11, 1909, and moved his family there. I remember my father George, talking about his sale and move. He remembered it well, even though he was only 8. The deal was cash and James paid for the land with gold coins (legal tender at the time). By 1909, James and Francis had five children shown below in their family photo by JJ Sundguist, Dassel.

James continued to farm but also held other part-time jobs. In 1912, he was elected constable for Dassel township. I still have the handgun he carried while on duty. In 1915, James was elected road overseer for a year.

Info from Jean Fillipe:
Grandma Fillipe, as started before, she did SO much - never once did I imagine her being unhappy in her life. She was friendly, smiley, and loved to "rubber" on the phone. Once I was told to "be quiet" because she "keeping up with the neighbors". Grandpa Fillip (James) was lazy and very domineering. He would sit by the window, smoking his pipe and never miss hitting his spittoon. Grandma did everything: she cooked, baked, sewed, cleaned, washed, fed the cows, cleaned the barn and hoed the garden while Grandpa watched. Grandpa could read and write but Grandma couldn't. But he could never really get used to driving a car. New roads were being built by the farm and Grandpa always told me "with a good smooth road, the car will steer better". Family meals at Grandma and Grandpa's were fun, their house had a large kitchen, a living room and a bedroom. There was also a front porch. In the warm seasons, after eating, we'd all go out to the porch and visit until Grandma went to do the chores.
111.' Sitting around the large kitchen tables is a great memory. Food, in quantity arrived - baked homemade bread, roast goose and duck, a favorite oyster dressing, prune, poppy seed or apricot kolaches, then desserts - angel good cake (with 13 eggs), and the best apple pie. Homemade root beer and beer were quite a treat. Card playing was always enjoyed after a meal - whist being their favorite games, also dominos. Neighbors also were invited and tone time I even remember Grandma and Grandpa dancing - lively music for the most but a waltz for them. I also remember the dancing by the Olivas - Blanche's Ed and their boys Wallace and Wayne, especially at weddings. All of my cousins, and me, have a Bohemian/Swedish mix which added variety to our lives. Kolaches?Lefsa?

Albin Frank Fillipe (January 27, 1892 - )
Albin Frank Fillipe was the first born child of James and Francis Miska Fillipe. His birth
certificate shows him born in Silver Lake, Minnesota, January 27, 1892. As near as I can determine,
there was no hospital or Doctor in Silver Lake, so it probably was a home birth attended to by a
midwife. Albin and his parents were living in
Hopkins, Minnesota, in the 1890's, but by
1900, they had moved to Collingwood Township south of Dassel, Minnesota.
To the right to the first know picture of Albin,
along with his sister Julia, who was born
December 27, 1895. The picture probably was
taken around 1899 by N. Hassen, a Glencoe
Minnesota photographer. About 1909, Albin's
parents bought a farm north of Dassel,
Minnesota, along old highway 15. 1 could not
find much information on Albin until WWI,
when he was sent to France. The "Litchfield
Saturday Review", July 27, 19i.8, reported that
Albin left for Camp Wardsworth, South
Carolina. Another report from the same paper,
October 12, 1918, was that Albin had arrived
safely overseas. The next report on Albin was the "Dassel
Dispatch", January 30, 1919; see article.
1 also note the "Condensed History of Meeker
County 1855 - 1939" lists Albin Fillipe as a WW1 veteran.

Sometime in the early or mid 1920's, Albin and Ruth left Dassel and moved to St.
Paul, Minnesota, where Albin worked of the Ford Motor Company. In November of 1926, they had a daughter Jean born in St. Paul.

In the late 1920's, Albin was working in the Ford plant in St. Paul. Hoover was
president of the United States. The stock market crashed in 1929, and the country was
thrown into a severe depression. The Ford plant in St. Paul closed, and Albin moved back
to Dassel. There were no jobs in big cities, so Albin moved back to the farm like so many
other Americans. Apparently this was a blow to Albin and Ruth, but they couldn't make a
living in St. Paul. Below are excerpts of a conversation with Albin's daughter Jean.
"Albin being the oldest son, was obligated to work on his dad's fann (James Fillipe/Phillipe), so Albin
never could have the chance to go beyond the 5th grade in school, unlike his brothers, Art and George.
Art and George graduated and went on to normal school (George). I am so proud of my dad who
excelled in his town, was on the town board, was active in the American Legion, and just a wonderful
friend to all. This characteristic can be said for all the Fillipe family. After marriage, Albin worked at the Ford Plant in St. Paul, but was laid off and went back to the
farm to help his father, James. I believe it was in the late 1920 that we began our life in Dassel, moving from a modern house to a
tiny unmodern house which was built on a lot by James. A While later we moved across the road to a
house & farm owned by George. Dad farmed the acreage and took care of George's turkeys. When Albin would talk to George, Mable, and Julia they always talked in Bohemian so no one could
understand their conversations. I wish that I had learned the Bohemian language. All I learned was
'go get cows" - and of course, "yek so mach", how are you?"

Julia and Art lived in a beautiful farm home inn the Swan Lake Area. i •
They had great quantities of everything - dishes, towels, year goods, and always fresh bread, cookies, caked to ;. share. Their garden was always weed free and when visiting they would share. It was a horrific day when their house burned, and then later, finding out of their death.
My aunts were, in my estimation, very typical Bohemian ladies. They followed in the traditions that Granma taught them. Their kolaches and other baking cooking were exceptional. They sewed their dressed and they all were the same as Grandma Fillipes - same pattern, just different colors - some made from feed sack

Art was a favorite uncle of mine and he had a great
impact on my life. From him I acquired my appreciation of the outdoor life — hunting, firearms,
fishing, camping, and travel. He was a great person
and I will never forget him. Jean Fillipi Thornton, a
niece of Art wrote the following:
Uncle Art was a letter carrier in Minneapolis. He would
come back to farm very often and always had a new car (maybe every tow years?). He was quiet, was very
handsome, with a quirky smile that we all will remember. didn'tI think he would every marry (and I heard he did
have a girlfriend) but then Eleanor and he met and he just
couldn't resist any longer. He and Eleanor ware a unique
couple, she was an excellent cook, and they enjoyed fishing, camping, and especially trout fishing. He too great enjoyment in reading cookbooks and would tell Eleanor
when he found what he thought would he a good recipe.
He and Albin had a music duo, Art played guitar and Albin, harmonica; I added a beat on the piano. Their
favorite songs were: The Yellow rose of Texas; Red Wing; Beer Barrel Polka, and "In the garden". Art loved brass
brands and would listen to the recording of "The Brass
Band of Bohemia", a record which 1 too enjoy. He was a
metal craftsman and had a great collection of guns.

My aunts were, in my estimation, very typical Bohemian ladies. They followed in the traditions that Grannia taught them. Their kolaches and other baking cooking were exceptional. They sewed their dressed and they all were the same as Grandma Fillipes - same pattern, just different colors - some made from feed sacks. I remember Mabel emptying the flour and being were careful to pick out the fabric of the bugs. We took turns having Christmas. Mable's house was small with a front porch that I remember for the pies, pies, and then more pies.

Baptismal records of George John Phillipe 1903. Note the spelling of George - Jiri Jan. Parents were James Fillip - Vaclava Filipilso and Frantisky Myskovy. The church was the Evangelical Reform Church of Silver Lake. The date was 5 dubna (March)1903. The witnesses were Antonin Barta and Marie Bartova. The witnesses were Anthony and Mary Barto, Aunt and Uncle of George and sister of Frantisky.
George's Grandfather, John Fillipe Sr. was a charter member of this Czech Evangelical Reform Church formed about 1871. It is only fitting that John Fillipe's grandson be baptized in the church he helped start.

Baptismal Church of George Phillipe, Silver Lake, Minnesota - Faith Presbyterian Church. George Phillipe was born on November 6,1902, and baptized April 5, 1903. The Church was the Evangelical Reform Church of Silver Lake at the time of George's baptismal, not the Faith Presbyterian. From what I can surmise, George's Grandparents, John Sr. and Aneska Fillipi were involed in the religious reform movement in Borova, Bohemia where Czechs broke away from the Hapsburg controlled Catholic Church. From what I can gather, the Fillipe were somewhat anti-catholic. This apparently was the result of some bad experiences in Borova Bohemia.
I'M FREE Don't grieve for me, for now I'm free I'm following that path God laid for me. I took his hand wheal heard him call I turned my back and left it all. I could not stay another day 2b laugh, to love, to work or play. Tasks left undone must stay that way. I found that peace at close of day. If my parting has left a void, Then fill it with remembered joy. A friendship altered, a laugh, a kiss, Ah yes, these things I too will miss. Be not burdened with times of sorrow I wish you the sunshine of tomorrow. My life's been full, I've savored much. Good friends, good times, a loved
one's touch. Perhaps my time seemed all to brief Don't lengthen it now with undue grief. Lift up your hearts and share with me God wanted me now;
He set me free.

George Phillipe 1922 Dassel Minnesota School, Dassel High school Sophomore
George was the first and only child in his family of five kids to complete high school. It was common back in the 1910's and 20's to not finish high school and few kids in the Dassel area graduated from high school. George mentioned that he could barely speak English when he started school because only Bohemian was spoken at home. As I remember, George's mother, Francis, could barely speak English and I doubt whether she could read or write English. Many of the immigrants to America held on to the culture and language of their country of origin. George's father, James could speak English well and could read
and write English. George and Emma believed education was important and two of their children
earned Bachelors and Masters degrees from State University. (Photo: George Phillipe - 5th grade
class Dassel Minnesota 1917)
Uncle George lived in Cokato and was, to me, a source ofinformation on
whatever he was questioned about. I considered him a ?vomit-T' slfr end.,
After the (3) boys were born - John, James, Paul - I was given the chance to
go with George and Emma on trips to baby-sit the boys. My parents could
never afford to go an many trips so this so special.
0 George owned the Oakwood Hatcher in Cokato and each spring we would go
see the little chicks which, later on, made some??? A. home on the farm.
George offered much wisdom to me whenever I needed an ear to listen.. --, 0

Miss Karen Ruth Kek-konen became the bride of Paul Arthur PhiRipe at a 3 p.m. ceremony Aug. 7 in Zion Evangelical Lutheran church.
Mr. and Mrs. Albert J. Kekkonen of Grand Rapids And Mr. and Mrs. George PhiRipe of Cokato are par-ents of the bridal couple.
The double ring service was performed by Rev. John Weinberg before an altar adorned with bou-quets of white carnations, gladioli and chrysanthe-mums. "The Wedding Prayer," "Song of Ruth and "The Lord's Prayer" were sung by James Sher-wood. The soloist was ac-companied by Mrs, Jerome Tinquist who also played the traditional wedding marches and a prelude of organ music as the guests were being seated.
The bride was escorted to the altar by her father who gave her in marriage. Her wedding gown was fashioned of white peau de satin and featured a scoop neckline and three-quarter sleeves. The formal lines of the gown were accented by the dual cathedral train. Rose motif appliques ap-peared on the bodice and the detachable train.
Her headpiece, which held the veil of silk im-ported illusion, was de-signed with three roses of silk organza. The bouquet carried by the bride was a cascade arrangement of red roses and white carna-tions.
Mrs. Richard Culshaw of Tyler was her sister's maid of honor. Itrides-maids were Mrs. Jon Min-er of St. Paul and Mrs. Michael McKinley of Be-midji. Carrie and Gwen Phillip° of St. Louis Park, nieces of the bridegroom, were flower girls.
John Phillipe of St. Louis Park served as his
brother's best man. Rob-ert Bergstrom of Cokato and Douglas Kekkonen, brother of the bride, were groomsmen. Ushers were Richard Cuishaw of Tyler, brother-in-law of the bride, and Gerald Ackers-man of Wayzata.
A reception followed in the Fellowship hall. The bridegroom's parents were hosts at the bridal dinner the preceding evening at Wa-Ga-Tha-Ka resort on Wabana lake.
The bride selected as her going-away costume a three-piece dress of pink and white cotton, white accessories and a corsage of pink roses.
Mr. and Mrs. Phillipe will live in Littleton, Colo., where both will be ele-mentary school physical education instructors. They are both graduates of Bemidji State college.
The bride graduated from the Grand Rapids high school and her hus-band from the Cokato high school- He had his position in Littleton last year.
Granddaughter of George and Emma Phillipe, Kristin Phillipe Lodmill received her Doctor of Nursing degree from the University of Colorado in May of 2005. As far as I can determine, this is the first Doctorate degree earned by a Phillipe in over 300 years.

Grandmother Francis Miska Fillipe's Relatives Note: Most of the relatives listed on the next 10 pages are blood relatives of Goerge, Art, Albin, Mabel and Julia
Karel and Antonia Vasek Grandparents to Francis Miska Fillipi, wife of James Fillipe, great grandparents to George Phillipe, Cokato, Minnesota.
Karel Vasek, 1810 -1888 was married to Antonia Krablek and had two daughters. The marriage didn't work out. Karel left and married a widow Antonia Jermasek, had three daughters, and eventually immigrated to America. Karel's first wife and daughters remained in Europe and there is no record of them. Karel and Antonia's daughters were Antonia, Josephine and Alouise (Louise). The three daughters married and lived in Silver Lake, Biscay area of Minnesota.
It's a bit confusing, but the lineage is as follows for myself, James Phillipe (born Sept 1938). 1. James Phillipe, son of George Phillipe 2. George Phillipe, son of Francis Miska Fillipe and James Fillipe (born 1868). 3. Francis Miska Fillipe, daughter of Antonia Vasek and John Miska. 4. Antonia Vasek, daughter of Antonia Jermasek Vasek( born 1811, Studnice Bohemia) and
Karel Vasek. 5. Antonia Jermasek Vasek, parents unknown so the great great grandmother to James Phillipe above is Antonia Jermasek Vasek. Great great grandfather is Karel Vasek.

More on Karel Vasek and his wife Antonia. As kids growing up, we never heard about the Vaseks. I don't know why, but when I found their graves in 2005, it was a special feeling, not that they were dead, but that it was an important part of the history and legacy of our family. I really don't think my father, George Phillipe, knew of them, because I know
he would have mentioned them, had he been told of them.
Above is the grave of Louise Vasek Boushka, the great great aunt of James Phillipe (B:1938). On the right is the grave of Karel Vasek(D:1888) and his wife Antonia Vasek (D:1904), great great grandparents of James Phillipe. It was through the effort of Wallace Olivia, a great grandson of Antonia Vasek that I learned about her. While my father didn't mention the Vasek, he did say we had relatives in Studnice and Hamry Bohemia, Czech Republic where the Vaseks lived.

S.S SUEVIA photos from Google Courtesy of John Nelson Phillipe (B:1937), a great
grandson of John and Antonia Vasek Miska and John Sr. and Aneska Fillipe. The SUEVIA
is the ship John Miska and family traveled on.
I'm back tracking a bit now and am giving you some info on the Karel Vasek when
he arrived in America. I can only assume they lived South of Silver Lake. There are few
records and the only census record I find is the 1900 Neal Township record showing
Antonia Vasek (mother of John Miska's wife Antonia) living with her daughter Louise (wife
of Frank Boushka). The census below indicates she could not speak English, she had three
children, two living, the daughter that died was married to John Miska and was the mother
of grandparents James Fillipi wife Francis Miska Fillipe. Karel Vasek died a few years after
arriving in this country, but Antonia Vasek lived to be 92 years of age. Her death occurred
December 22, 1904.
Our Lady of Sorrow Church in the Hamry,
Studnice are of Bohemia. Our relatives the
Vaseks and Boushkas probably attended in
the 1800's. When I was young, I remember
Grandparents Jim Fillipe and his wife
Francis going to Biscay, Minnesota to visit
the Boushkas. I didn't know Boushka wife's
maiden name was Vasek and that we were
distant relatives.

To the best of knowledge, the Vaseks never became citizens and never owned property.
They were member of the Bear Creek Catholic Church of the Assumption and were buried
there.
CHURCH OF THE ASSUMPTION,
Bear Creek A small church was built in 1872 four miles
iuth of Silver Lake by a group of Carrh-atholics from eastern and southern Bohemia. Itinerant missionaries said Mass in private
omes prior to the building of the church. tmong them were Father Stern (known lo-ally as Father Juczda) and Father Juskiewicz. 'ather Steinacher celebrated Mass at the ;hunch of the Assumption from 1872 to 1875 Ind was followed by Father Sulak, S. J. of Chi- mgo from 1876 to 1877; Father Povolny, pas- tor at Winsted from 1878 to 1882 and by the pastor at St. Adalberts Church, Silver Lake from 1882 to 1893 when his successor, Rev. Father Jiranek was given charge of the Bear Creek Bohemian Catholics.
As the Czech population of Silver Lake in-creased, the need of a church was apparent and on April 6,1895, St. Joseph's Church wa incorporated with Bear Creek as a missio Rev. J. Cermak took charge as pastor, built church and the rectory the next year and e-mitted until 1906. Ins successor, Rev. W. J. Skluzacek, closed the Mission Church and dis-mantled it. Bear Creek cemetery which opened in 1867 is still used. Ererpted from "Catholic Much in the Diocese
of Si. Paul" by James Michael Reardon, P.A.

John Miska and Family Travel to America 1827 The John Miska family, wife Antonia Vasek Miska, children Joseph (B:1868), John Jr.
(B:1872), Franciska (B:1876), Franciska (B:1874, future wife of my grandfather, James Fillipe), left Hamburg Germany in 1877 on the ship SS SUEVIA, headed for America. From Google, it shows the SUEVIA to be a steam powered, steel hull ship built in 1874. The ship was 360.3ft in length, 41ft wide, 3600 gross tonnage steam engine, single screw and had a cruise speed of 13 knots. By today's standards, the SUEVIA was probably a primitive ship, but it was far more advanced than the three-mast sailing ship John Fillipe Sr. and his family traveled on. From a Google search on the internet, one passenger wrote the following regarding the journey on the SUEVIA: "Before we boarded the ship, a priest blessed us all and wished us good luck. We knew we needed it for the next weeks were not very pleasant". Below is the SUEVIA passenger list showing the Miska family. As is often the case names on the ship record are not always the same as what appear on the U.S. census records.

THE BOUSHKA FAMILY Frank Boushka was born in Bohemia on Oc•
tober 29, 1857 to Joseph and Mary Magdalen (Rohlik) Boushka.
Louise Vasek was born on October 15, 1858 to Karel and Antonia Vasek, in another part of Bohemia.
Frank Boushka left his native village of Hamm in Hlinsko on April 15,1881 to begin the long journey to the United States. He had been preceded to America by a sister and her husband, Anna and Frank Miska and their family. Also immi ratin thi n th V .ek rem e vi age o tSuce.
'rwo au tors of the Vasek's had been here for several years. They were Josephine and her husband, Anthony Janousek and fam-ily; and another daughter and her husband, John Misk The immigrants met
tai'y ship at Hamburg for the four week journey across the Atlantic.
From the book "McLeod County History 1978", I've enclosed some info about the Boushka Family. On the boat over in 1881, they met the Karel Vasek. Two Vasek daughters were already in America, one being Antonia Vase Miska, wife of John Miska, and mother of Francis Miska Fillipe, mother of my father, George Phillipe of Cokato. Minnesota. It appears as through Frank Miska, who married Anna Boushka was a close relative of John Miska mentioned above, The Boushka eventually settled in Biscay, Minnesota.

1\1 1880 map
John Miska got his family to Minnesota, I assume sometime in the fall of 1877. He
purchased or homesteaded of about 30 acres on the Northeast corner of Swan Lake, just
west of the John Fillipe farm (see above). The 1880 census indicated two of his kids, Joseph
and John Jr. were attending school. In addition I assume my grandmother, Fanny Miska,
and great aunts, Mary Miska Barto, and Antonia (Tony) Miska Sustacek also attended
school at the location shown above. I also assume my grandfather, James Fillipe (age 12 in
1880) also attended school with the Miskas. Apparently English wasn't spoken in the Miska
home, only Bohemian. Thus the kids, learning English in school and Bohemian at home,
were bilingual. From a history book, the settlers around Swan Lake, including the Miskas,
"...built log cabins, and cleared the land.", "wild game and fish were abundant. Bears were
occasionally sighted and wild turkeys were hunted. John cultivated his fields with a team
of oxen, and in addition, worked for other settlers as a blacksmith. He built his wagon froM
trees growing on his land and sent his wheat to the mill". I could find nothing else about
John Miska, other than his wife Toni (Antonia Vasek) died around 1880 or 1886. I've seen
several dates but believe the 1880 to be accurate. I've not been able to locate her grave site
but believe it to be the Old Clarks Woods site on the SE corner of Swan Lake. John, after the
death of his first wife, went to Pine City and married a "catholic" with the last name of
Savorski. Apparently this didn't go over too well with the children from John's first
marriage to Antonia Vasek, so there were a few years of turmoil in the family. In John
Miska's second marriage, there were three more children, Katherine, Paul, and Sophia, more
about them later.
After arriving in America May 31, 1877, john Miska, wife Toni, and children headed
west to the Silver Lake, Swan Lake area of Minnesota. Below is the 1880 census, Hale

From the census 1880, the Miska family is as follows: John, father, age 34, born in Bohemia - John's father is Jan Miska, born 1808, Pracovicach,
Budejovice Ceske, Czechoslovakia. Toni (Antonia), age 34, born in Studnice, Bohemia, to Karel and Antonia Vasek (wife of
John). Joseph, son, age 12, born in Bohemia, census shows he was attending school. Probable at
the school east of their farm, see map (moved to Windsor N.D). john Jr., son age 8, born in Bohemia. The census indicates he was attending school.
Fanny, daughter, age 6, born in Bohemia, marries James Fillipe, about 1890, has most of her
life near Dassel Minnesota. Mary, daughter, age 4m born in Bohemia or ? Mary's grandson, Wallace Olivia says she was
born on ship in the middle of the North Atlantic. This was information passed on to him by
his mother, Blanche Barto Olivia. Mary married Anthony Barto in 1896, near Silver Lake.
They had five children, Henry, Alfred, George, Mabel, and Blanche.
Toni, daughter, age 1 (Antonia, Nettie). Toni's grandmother Antonia Vasek, Antonia Miska
and her, all had the first name Antonia. Toni marries Joe Sustacek, and had two sons, Otto
and Harvey Sustacek. Frank, possible son - An old family record shows a Frank Miska as a son of John and
Antonia. He is on the ship passenger list 1877, but not on the 1880 census. I don't know the
reason for this. Frank moved to Pine City, Minnesota, and married Mary Vasely.
On the previous page I've listed John Sr. and Antonia Vasek Miska, Children - six of
them - Joseph, John Jr., Frances, Mary, Toni (Nettie), and Frank. Below are pictures of five

The above Boushka children were first cousins of my grandmother, Francis Miska Fillipe (wife of James Fillipe). I guess they would then be second cousins to my father, George Phillipe. Aloisie Vasek Boushka was a sister of Grandma Francis Miska Fillipe's mother, Antonia Miska Vasek. Another sister, Josephine Vasek, had about ten children, so there would be ten more 2nd cousins we never knew about.
One of John Miska Sr.'s daughters was Mary Miska. She married another Barto February 4, 1896, near Silver Lake, Minnesota. The wedding picture is shown below.

1910 Barto Family - Anthony, Mary, Henry, Alfred, George, Prosec Bohemia, birth place on Mabel, and Blanche. Anothony Barto (10/8/1869).
A second daughter of John Miska Sr. was Antonia (Nettie or Toni), born 2/24/1879, died 3/15/1938. She married Joseph Sustacek and had two sons, Otto and Harvey. As a child, I remember Otto and his wife Bertha. They lived by Butternut Lake, North of Silver Lake. As I recall, they had no children. I didn't ever meet Harvey. He apparently lived near Hutchinson and possibly had a son skip Sustacek.
Noe Sustacek, Otto Sustacek, Antonia (Nettie) Miska Sustacek
Skip Sustacek - possible son or grandson of Harvey.
John Barta Sr. and wife Josephine, came to America about 1880. John and Josephine were parents of Anthony Barta, husband of Mary Myska Barta.

Pine City Minnesota Relatives When my great grandmother Antonia Vasek Miska, died at an early age, her
husband John Miska Sr. married a lady from Pine City, Minnesota. I think his first wife Antonia, died at age 34 in 1880 (but I've also heard 1886 or 1888). I guess the second wife's last name was Sarorski and apparently she was a "Polish Catholic". They had three children, Katherine (Kate), Paul, and Sophia. An old family record shows Paul being born 3/13/1883, so according to this, the first wife Antonia Vasek Miska probably died around 1880. This is only speculation on my part. The new kids then, would be half brothers and sisters to my grandmother Francis Miska Fillipe and her brothers and sisters. Nothing positive was every said about the new wife and new family.

Above the 1920 census, shows John Miska Sr. living with his son Paul Miska. It also shows Paul's mother as being born in Bohemia, so I don't know where the term "Polish Catholic" came from. I have never met any of these relatives. We never talked about them. I remember my aunt Julia talking about them in the 1950's. John Miska Sr. and his second wife are probably buried in the Pine City area.

Frank Samuel Phillipe
Frank was born in October of 1869, probably on the farm of his parents, John Sr., and Aneska Fillipi, near Swan Lake, Minnesota. I also have records of his birth being in December of 1867, but I believe the 1869 date is correct. As near as I can determine, Frank married Mary Preusse of Glencoe in 1890. Frank was twenty-one and Mary was twenty-nine. The 1900 census shows Frank working as a salesman in a general store. I understand the store was owned by his father-in-law. In addition, the 1900 census shows Frank's parents as being born in Germany. We know that's wrong, as they were born in Borova, Bohemia, Austrian Empire, but this illustrates the inaccuracy of old records and quite possible Frank didn't know where his parents were born.
The 1900 census shows Frank and Mary having two children, Raymond born September 1896, and Frank Jr. born December 1898. It also says two of their three children lived, one died.
Frank and Mary Wedding Picture.
In addition, there possible were other children born in Montana. I noted the existence of three unmarked Fillipi graves in the records of the Roundup Montana Cemetery. I've heard Frank Jr. was killed in an airplane accident. I also note a Frank Phillipe living in San Bernardino, California with a birth date of December 3 1898, dying in December 1972. I recall my father saying Frank moved to California, so this may be a relative. There apparently was a Chester Phillipe and Art Phillipe. A story, years ago, was that Art or Chester buried to death at age 5, this probably happened in Glencoe. Last, who the three unmarked graves in Roundup holds, adds to the mystery.
Frank worked in the Preiss Store pictured on the right. I'm not sure he liked working for his in-laws and he headed west to North Dakota, then Montana, homesteading land near Roundup Montana in 1912. His brother Paul had moved to North Dakota about 1905.
PRE1SS STORE, 18734964
This pioneer store reflected the needs and demands of the early community. The settleis wants were simple and their funds were low. They drove in with their ox teams and carried back supplies such as matches, coal, oil, salt and even gun powder,
Montana about 1920, Frank Phillipe. The courthouse in Musselshell County, Roundup Montana has a record of a land patent 1912 for Frank S. Phillipe. This would mean he homesteaded land under the "1862 Homestead Act" signed by President Lincoln.

1900 census showing Frank and Mary Phillipe in Glencoe Minnesota living next door to Josie Fillipi Bartush and her husband. Josie was Frank's older sister.
I was in Roundup in 2004. There were fresh flowers on the grave Raymond Phillipe.
Thanks so much for calling this morning about Raymond and Gusta Phillipe. I do not have much to offer you right now but here is what I do have:
Raymond Philippe (born September 16, 1896 and died January 17, 1988 in. Lewistown, Fergus County, Montana; buried in Musselshell County, Montana)
Gusta Harms (born about 1896 in Clayton County, Iowa and died and was buried in August 1934 in Musselshell County, Montana)
Raymond and Gusta had only 2 children: Raymond Richard (1925) and Fern (abt 1929) According to my mother-in-law there were only these 2 children and Fern was about 4 or 5 when her mother died)
Raymond Richard "Dicky" Phillipe Born June 4, 1925 in Roundup, Montana. Died of cancer on December 31, 1996 in Lewistown, Montana. Buried in Lewistown, Montana Served in the Navy during WWII (1943-1946) as a radioman Married Vera B. Songer in Lewistown on August 1'7, 1947 They had 3 children: Gary, Linda and Darlene
Fern Phillipe married I' Glenn Ray and 2"`' Francis Tindall. I understand that she was divorced from both of them. Glenn is probably buried in Fergus County, Montana and to our knowledge Francis is still living (his children live in Lewistown, Montana).
Fern and Glenn Ray had 2 children: Larry Ray - lives in Lewistown, Fergus County, Montana Jim Ray - lives in Alaska and Shell, Big Horn County, Wyoming
There were no children born to Fern and Francis Tindall.
I spoke to my mother-in-law this morning and she tells me that, the last she heard, Fern was in a nursing home in Lewistown, Montana.
Other mentions of the surname Phillipe in Musselshell County, Montana includes the 1912 land patent records for a Frank S. Phillipe.
I hope this helps you a little bit - with the wide variety of spellings on Phillipe it is a difficult surname to research.

Frank and Mary Preuss are buried in the old Roundup Cemetery. The have no gravestones Frank's son Raymond J. and his wife Gusta Harms Phillipe have gravestones (Ray 1896 - 1988, and Gusta 1900 -1934). In addition there are three additional Gravesites. George Phillipe mentioned three other children of Frank and Mary. Frank Jr. Chester, and Art and indicated they may have died at an early age. I don't know if there is any truth to this. The above
mentioned three grave sites have no markers the 1900 census claims two of their three kids live. Raymond J. remarried when his wife died, he and his new wife may have had a child, or step child, or maybe George had miss information.

Info from County clerk Roundup Montana who had known of Frank. Frank died in the Musselshell Hospital February 2, 1936 of myocarditis and acute hernia. The clerk said "Frank probably was a bootlegger. According to George Phillipe, he had visited Frank in the 1930's at his homestead and liquor still in the hills around Roundup. The liquor still was located on the hand Frank Sr. obtained in 1912 under a land give away by the Federal Government. I assume Frank got the land as a mining claim.
1900 Federal Census: Glencoe, McLeod Co., MN household #189, family #193, Frank and Mary have been m. 10 years Phillipe, Frank, age 32, b. Dec 1867 in MN, -nts — • , salesman

Frank Jr., age 1, b. Dec 1898 in MN
One of Frank and Mary's children died in Glencoe. They also had Frank Jr., born in Glencoe. After 1900 I have no record of him. It's possible he went to Montana with the family, was killed there, or he moved to California. I've heard different stories, no one seems to know where he ended up. If he did go to California, I'm showing below from census records he died in 1972 in San Bernardino. The same is true for Arthur Phillipe in California and there are a lot of different stories about what happened to Frank's children.

Rudolph Fillipi about 1935
Rudolph Pillipi, 1930's.
I know very little about Rudolph and there are few records about him. He was born March of 1872 in Silver Lake (Hale Town) at home of his parents John and Aneska Filipi. His mother was 38 at the time and Rudolph was the ninth of 10 children. Throughout his life, he lived with his parents or his brothers and sisters. He never married, never attended school and worked as a farmer his entire life. As a child, I remember him. living North of Dassel in a small house on his brother James farm. He was shy and did not mix well with guests when we visited the Fillipis. I don't think he could speak English well, and he usually spoke Bohemian. Rudolph passed away in the late 1940's or early 1950's. He is buried in the Dassel Cemetery on the east side, directly east of his parents' grave. There is no grave stone.
Joseph Fillipi
Joseph, John Sr. and Aneska's second oldest son was born in Borova, Bohemia, Austria, in 1855. He came to America in 1867 about the ship "Olbers" and moved to the Silver Lake area shortly thereafter. He is shown on the 1870 census but that's the last record I have on him. According to my father, George Phillipe, he was killed in a gun accident sometime in the 1870's. I could find nothing to substantiate this accident and have spent countless hours looking for information on him. I finally found the info in the records section in the Glencoe County Court House, it says, "Joseph Phillippi, son of John Sr. and Nancy, died July 11, 1870, age 13 years 8 months 23 days while under the influence of chloroform while having his leg amputated". 1 imagine he was shot in the leg shattering the bone. In 1870, there was no way to repair the bone so they had to cut the leg off using chloroform to deaden the pain. The use of chloroform was common back then and was used extensively in the Civil War on injured soldiers. As near as I can determine, he is buried on the south east shore of Swan Lake in an unmarked grave in the Old Clarks Woods Cemetery (no longer a cemetery).
Frantisek Fillipi
Frantisek was born in Borova, Bohemia, in 1864 to Jan Sr. and Aneska Fillipe. His birth was in house 80. He lived a few days and died. He is buried on a hill behind the protestant church. There is no gravestone. Frantisek was a brother to my grandfather, Jim Fillipi of Dassel, Minnesota.
Unknown Fillipi
John Sr. and Aneska (Agnes) had one other children that died. When or where this birth and death occurred, I don't know. It was probably in the 1870's their Hale Township home near Silver Lake. Note the info below from the 1900 census. It also states neither were U.S. citizens. This is false as I've found his citizenship papers dated November 4, 1872.

Phillipes living in McLeod County that are not related to John Sr. and Aneska Fillipi
I'm finding a number of Fillipis living in Hale Township that doesn't appear to be related to our great grandparents, John Sr. and Aneska. It seems as if the Silver Lake area was like a magnet drawing settlers from Bohemia to all settle in the area of our ancestors, many with the name Filipi. Maybe these settlers were related in the old country and came to Silver Lake because their relatives were there. I don't know, and have no proof if they are related or not. I don't think they are related, they just have the same last name.

Ill Health Causes Fit of Des- pondency—Shoots Self Ear.
ly Friday Morning.
Suffering from Rright's digease and general ill health since he almost died from a severe illness of bronchial pneu-monia two years ago, Frank Philip!, father, of Mrs. Anthony Kouba, shot himself in a fit of despondency early last Friday morning, in the garden of the farm home of Anthony Kouba north of Hutchinson.
After talking with his daughter be-fore going out to aid Mr. Kouba with the morning farm chores, he took a gun into the garden, placed the Lennie against his chest, and feed the gun by pushing the trigger with a stick. A hard wind deadened the sound of the shot so that no one on the farm heard it. When Mr. Philipi did not return to the house for breakfast, his daugh-ter went out to look for him, and found him dead 15 minutes after he had left the house.
John Smutka, Sr. of near Bear Lake conducted the funeral services in the rites of the Bohemian fraternal order, Z. C. B. J., at the Kouba home Sunday afternoon. J. E. Zavoral of Silver Lake was in charge of the Modern Wood-men ritual at the burial service. Inter-ment was made in the Bohemian Na-tional cemetery.
Mr. Philip! was 'born Ip Telecy, a lit-tle hamlet in Austria, August 27, 1862. He came to the United States in 1881 when he was 19 years old. He made his application for citizenship papers in 1897, and was granted his citizenship rights five years later.
Coming to McLeod county_ more than 30 years ago, Mr. Philipi settled at Sil-ver Lake where, he worked as a car-penter, and for 12 years was manager of the Stearns Lumber company yard in that village. In 1917, after the death of his wife, Minnip Philipi, whom he had married April 6, 1887, Mr. Philip! lived with his daughter, Mrs. Kouba, on the Kouba farm north of Hutchin-son.
Mr. Philipi is survived by . three daughters, Mrs. Kouba, Mrs. AnnaReetz of St. Paul, and Mrs. Mamie Barnard of Chicago. Joe Lapor of Silver Lake is a step-son of Mr. Philipi.
Pall-bearers at the funeral were Joseph Halve, John `Monroe, J. J, Matuska, Joseph Svihel, Adolph Hakel, and James Kovar; all of Silver Lake.

SILVER LAKE FIRE DEPARTMENT
Other members of the fire department of 1898, the earliest organization of which any record is available were F. A. Stibal, the first Chief, Joe H. Phillipi, first secretary,
There are only five still living (1941). Gathering inspiration from setting around the wood fire in the "Narodni Hostenec" where Judge J. H. Phillipi held court, dispensed justice and promoted many things for the betterment of the villagers as well as Pickwick Rye and Sunny Whiskey, these five beloved old timers and their compa-triots from whose simple organization was de-veloped Silver Lake's modern and efficient fire fighting organization of today merit full recognition in any historical mention of the Department.
