Let's see........I don't recall that he was in the war,.............or at least nobody has told me so. His mom was alone after 1927 and so she had to have someone be with her since she was rather advanced in age at that time (having died only 2 years later).I don't recall Frank being in WWI, but if you can check just in case. .....his name was Frank Dvorak Mary Thiele Fobian wrote: >John, send me his name.

FYI to the list, the draft card has been found and transmitted to John. We still don't know exactly where Frank was born, but it's nice to have the draft card and see Frank's signature.

If I had a great uncle (which I did) who was born in Bohemia/Austria in 1881, and one in 1878 (Feb 2).........is there a possibility that the birth certificate for the second one would be located in Wisconsin? Or Were people not required to bring their birth certificates with them when they travelled to the United States years gone by? I'm still attempting to figure out what city in Bohemia/Austria, that my great uncle Frank was born in. Since I have his exact birth date, I figured there would be a possibility of this happening some day. If people were not bringing their birth certificates with them at this time, then i guess I am grasping at straws. But I figured it was worth a shot. THanks to anybody who might have an answer. PS I did find earlier on this year, Vaclav (great grandpa's) naturalization papers located in Richland County (if I remember correctly), and not in Muscoda where he lived with his family, so maybe the records would be kept there, since the county courthouse, from Muscoda's perspective, was so far away in Lancaster and still is...........soooooooooo.

John, many of the men who registered for the draft (which was required) didn't actually serve in the war. I found Frank Joe DVORAK's card; birth is given as Feb 2 and the year is either 1877, 1878 or 1879. Mother is Mary Dvorak--is that a match? Birthplace is listed as "Bohemia Austria," which doesn't help you in your search for the town of origin, but the document does have his signature on it, so I'm sending you the image by separate email.

Mr. Cushman, who was sixty-eight years old, lived here eleven years, leaving about seven years ago. He had been ill since last fall. Aside from his wife, he leaves a mother, Mrs. Roxa Cushman; five children, those of Evansville being Mrs. Burr Jones, Mrs. William Crawford, Mrs. George Mabie; four brothers, and eleven grandchildren, Lloyd and Vivian Mabie, Gordon Jones and Everett, Forest and Boyd Crawford, of Evansville, and Phoebe, Victor, Marlow, Bernadine, and Eleanor Cushman of Taylor. March 1, 1917, Evansville Review, p. 1, col. 5, Evansville, Wisconsin Obituary Frank W. Cushman Frank W. Cushman was born near Erie, Pa., on September 17, 1853. At the age of two years he came with his parents to Mifflin, Iowa County, Wisconsin. On March 29, 1874, he was united in marriage to Ida May Basye, there being born to this union eight children, three of whom, Estella Belle, Fredie Roy and Lloyd Garrison, have left this life. Shortly after his conversion, the deceased became class leader in the Free Methodist church and acted in this capacity for several years. In the fall of 1897 he moved with his family to Evansville, and from there he moved to Taylor, in the spring of 1910. A protracted illness resulted in his death on Wednesday morning, February 28, 1917. Those left to mourn his loss are his wife and children, Charles, of Taylor; Mrs. Burr Jones, Mrs. George R. Mabie, Mrs. William Crawford, all of Evansville; Harriet of Taylor; his mother, Mrs. Roxy Cushman, of Rewey; and brothers, Bert, of Beloit; George, of Plattevile, and Jeff and Ezra, of Rewey. The deceased was well and favorably known for his industry and neighborliness. He was a good husband and a kind father; a man of strong convictions, but withal kindly genial and conscientious. His long-drawn-out suffering was sweetned by the faithful, loving care, by day and by night, of his dear ones.
