Friends, Perhaps the spelling is not correct, but I believe this family lived next door to my great grandparents in the late 1800s and early 1900s in Murphysboro, perhaps on 11th Street. I have two photos in my Mother's photo album that I would be glad to send copies of via email or snail mail if the descendents would like to have them. One is of Mrs Hrabick with Clara Armm, my great grandmother, and the other is of the Hrabick family. The family seems to be a mother and father, two boys and four girls. None of the individuals are named. The young people appear to be in their teens or early twenties. Email me if you would like to have copies of the photos. Shirley Maul shirleymaul@optonline.net

The April 1910 census for 1-Ward Murphysboro (on Mulberry Street) lists family 272 as: Frank HRABICK age 57, b. Austria, mercahnt, groceries Henrietta age 47 b. IL John age 23 b. IL Lillian age 21 b. IL Lena age 18 b. IL William K. age 15 b. IL Blanch age 12 b. IL Adah age 10 b. IL Rosenia SCHOCH age 85 b. Germany (Henrietta's mother) In the Jun 1900 census, Frank is listed as a baker and born in Bohemia in Jul 1852. In the 1900 census, the HRABIK family was listed as family 615, on Mulberry Street, and family 614, on S. 11th street, was headed by John ARMM (father of Clara). The gravemarkers for the family members spell the name as HRABIK. Frank died in 1949, Henrietta in 1955, Lillie in 1914, Anna in 1894, and Rosine in 1885. They were buried at City cemetery in Murphysboro, Lot 48. John HRABIK was born 3 Oct 1886 in Murphysboro. His WW I draft card lists him as a physician and a surgeon, not married, living at 1101 Mulberry in Murphysboro. He was a Captain in the Medical Corps during WW I. John died in Murphysboro 26 May 1969 and was buried at Pleasant Grove Memorial cemetery in Murphysboro Township. William Kenneth HRABIK was born 22 Jul 1894 in Murphysboro, and his WW I draft card lists him as single and a law student at the University of Illinois in Urbana. William died 6 Nov 1963. He was buried next to John. I don't know what happened to his sisters, but it seems likely that there are HRABIK descendants in the Murphysboro area. http://www.tomshawcross.blogspot.com http://worldconnect.rootsweb.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=shawcross&id=I53 ----- Original Message ----- From: "Shirley Maul" <shirleymaul@optonline.net> To: <ILJACKSO@rootsweb.com> Sent: Saturday, November 11, 2006 1:54 PM Subject: [ILJACKSO] Hrabick Family > Friends, > Perhaps the spelling is not correct, but I believe this > family lived next door to my great grandparents in the late 1800s and > early 1900s in Murphysboro, perhaps on 11th Street.
