Ne Query Forum Board URL: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/Ne/Butler?read=323 Surname: Zima, Kastner, Hovorka ------------------------- On 14 April 1885, Father Joseph Hovorka of SS Peter and Paul Catholic Church, Abie, Butler co., NE married Frank Zima, Jr. and Caroline Kastner. The same day, possibly at a wedding celebration, Frank's father, Frank Zima, Sr. was struck was three men. They used a beer bottle and tea kettle to strike him in the head. Frank, Sr. lingered until 25 April 1885 when he died at home. According to court minutes recorded in a bound volume, the men who struck him were Charles, James and Joseph Kastner. I have been told they were brothers to the bride, Caroline Kastner. Unfortunately the actual file dockets no longer survive in Butler Co., NE. Does anybody know details regarding this murder and what happened to the Kastner brothers?
