GEORGE CIZEK cemetery #44 From Der Nord Westen, 19 July 1906: We must report another drowning accident. Sunday morning Areil Brandt, Frank Kautsky and George Cizek went out on the lake in a boat borrowed from the Zechel brothers. The lake was like a looking-glass and the journey went well. After a short while Brandt said he wanted to go back on land, and so his two comrades brought him to the shore and they went back out on the lake. They hadn't gone very far when the boat suddenly tipped over and both boys fell into the water. Kautsky hung onto the overturned boat, whereas Cizek, who was a good swimmer, decided to swim ashore, but it is likely that he suffered cramps and he sank into the deep before the eyes of his friend. Kautsky cried for help, which arrived quickly, and he was taken into the boat of John Bock and brought to land. Others searched for Cizek without results. The police were notified and Police Chief Drews and Capt. Carle came with grappling irons to search the lake bottom. Regrettably, in his panic Kautsky had forgotten the spot where the accident occurred… Finally, about 3 in the afternoon a couple of boys in a skiff spotted the body about 50 feet from the shore at the foot of Chicago Street. The body was brought aboard and taken to the residence of Joseph Mlada, an uncle of the drowning victim, and from there taken for burial on Tuesday afternoon. George Cizek was 16 years old, the son of a widow who lives on Chicago Street.
HENRY CIZEK cemetery #36 Writes Instructions For Funeral Before Killing Self Manitowoc, Wis.- Before firing a shotgun charge through his heart which ended his life Sunday morning, Henry Cizek, 62-year-old Kossuth farmer, left complete instructions for his funeral even penning the sermon to be delivered over his body. The suicide note was found Sunday by a son Alvin in his father's room in the farm home. In the note were instructions to notify the coroner that the body was to be taken to the Husar and Wachal funeral home in Kellnersville and funeral services held there instead of at the family home. A malady with which the deceased had suffered for many years brought on a spell of despondency ever since he returned home last week from a visit to a physician in Manitowoc. Mr. Cizek arose as usual Sunday morning, and after his son left the house to do the chores, he is believed to have taken the shotgun to the garage where be ended his life. Mr. Cizek was an officer of the Z. C. B. J. lodge, an organization of Bohemians at Kossuth. He often officiated at funeral services of other members who passed on, and in the conduct of these rites he followed a religious routine which so impressed him that he wrote one of for his own funeral. This copy was found in the envelope with a notation that Anton Rott, a close friend of the deceased and a member of the Z, C. B. J. lodge, officiate at the funeral services using the script written by the dead man. Surviving are the widow; a son Alvin of Reif's Mills; two daughters; four brothers, and three sisters. Funeral services will be held at 2 p. m. Wednesday at the Husar and Wachal funeral home in Kellnersville with interment in the Kossuth National cemetery.

JOSEPH CIZEK SR. Cemetery #36 THE MANITOWOC HERALD-TIMES, MONDAY, JANUARY 15, 1934 JOSEPH CIZEK SR., 95, KOSSUTH PIONEER, DIES, BEGAN CAREER OF FARMER IN COUNTY IN 1852 - Funeral Services On Wednesday; Was Active Almost Until His Death Joseph Cizek, Sr., 95, who came into Manitowoc County with his parents on foot as a child in 1852, died Sunday at the home of his son, Joseph Jr., in the town of Kossuth. He had been active up until a little more than a year ago. Since then he had been confined to his bed. He would have been 96 years old Feb 12. In spite of the hardships of early pioneer life, when the elder Cizek helped to hew out a farm with the aid of oxen, he actively engaged in farming until 1910, a span of 58 years. Even after retirement he helped with chores for many years. Funeral services will be held Wednesday at 10 A.M. from the son's home in the town of Kossuth, Anton Rott officiating. Interment will be in the Kossuth National cemetery. The deceased was born in Trem, Bohemia, in 1838. At the age of 14 years he with his family started for America, the journey by sailing vessel requiring 12 weeks on the stormy Atlantic before New York was reached. IN COLLISION More troubles beset the emigrants on the way to Chicago. The passenger train on which they were riding collided with a freight train and many persons aboard the train were killed. They boarded a boat at Chicago and proceeded to Milwaukee where the women and the children remained and the men and boys walked to Manitowoc county to purchase land. That was in 1852. After locating a homestead in Kossuth, they returned to Milwaukee by boat , loaded the families and provisions on ox carts and began the long journey northward to the new home. Locating near Kellnersville, the Cizek family cleared the land for the erection of a log cabin and worked many weeks to clear sufficient land so that the solid could be tilled. Later Mr. Cizek acquired his own farm near Polifka's corners which is now operated by his son. He had the misfortune to lose his buildings in a fire but they were rebuilt. MARRIED IN 1864 In 1864 Mr. Cizek married Marie Shara who preceded him in death in 1924. After giving up active farming the elder Cizek still assisted his son in the operation of the farm.
