Frantisek (Frank) and Frantiska "Frances" (Juroska/Uroska) Zetocha, were born in the year of 1871 in Horni Bevca, Austria-Hungary or Austro-Hungarian Monarchy. After World War I in 1918, a provisional Czechoslovak government was organized.
In 1895, frank and his wife sailed for the United States with Frank's brother-in-law and sister, John and Barbara Zetocha Zitnik, and son Julius. John Zitnik had already been in the United States in 1890 and had established a home in Weston, Nebreaska for his wife and son.
Frank found employment with the Union Pacific Railroad as a section hand. It seemed the railroad had available jobs for newcomers.
They were blessed with four children --- Frances, Frank Jr., Gustie, and Andrew.
In the year of 1911, he purchsed a 160-acre farm in Newman Township, southwest of Weston and moved his family to the country. Here their children grew to adulthood.
Frances married Julius Zetocha and reared a family of seven --- Irene, Bettye, Margaret, Frances, Julius Jr., Ernest and Bonita.
Frank Jr. married Lillian Kubik and had four daughters --- Darlene, LaVerne, Ellen and Bernice.
Gustie married Anton Novak and had one son, Leonard.
Andrew married Marie Kubik and had two daughters and one son --- Gladys, Donald and Alyce.
They enjoyed farming and purchased more land in Newman Township. This was the horse and mule era. Their horse-drawn machinery was of the one-row or one-furrow walking type.
Frank and Frantiska enjoyed visiting with Frank's brother and wife, Sylvester and Veronika Bartek Zetocha, and his sister and husband, Joseph and Anna Zetocha Kosarik, who came from Moravia to live in Nebraska. The rest of the immediate family remained in Europe. Amongst them were his brothers, Jiri and John Zetocha, and his wife's brother, Joseph Uroska and her sister, Agnes Dancak.
Frank died at his farm home in 1939. His wife, Frantiska, remained on the farm before entering an Ashland Nursing Home where she died in 1954. Both are buried in St. John's Cemetery, Weston, Nebraska.
