Born in Gibson (Township) of Kewaunee County, WI; Adam was the fourth of seven children {four surviving sons} born to Wenzel & Antonette (Stangel) Rezachek.
According to family oral history, he was named Adam because he was the first surviving son (after the deaths of three stillborn children who Antonette was unable to carry to term). He graduated from Manitowoc High School in 1918, receiving a "first honors diploma".
In 1923, Adam married Victoria Wrublewski in Two Rivers (Township), WI; he was age 18, she was 16. Born 2 August 1907 in Sault Ste Marie, MI, she was eighth of nine children {four daughters & five sons} born to Theophile & Anna (Grabowski) Wrublewski.
In the 1930 Federal Census, Adam was living with his wife and two children plus his widowed mother and three single brothers in Two Rivers (Township), WI. At that time he was a "presser" in an aluminum shop.
A few years later, after abandoning his family during the Great Depression [presumably due to loss of employment & belief the community would take care of his wife & children if he were not there]; Adam moved to Goose Creek, TX (on the outskirts of Houston) where he assumed the name of Harold Carlson.
Adam & Victoria ultimately divorced.
He worked for the gauging department of the Baytown Refinery of Humble Oil from 1936-1940. Adam died instantaneously in an head-on automobile/truck accident at age 35.
