Gravestone Question

August 3, 2020

John (NY),

Could this be your Great-Great Grandfather’s gravestone? John’s buried with his wife Jeho Zena Marie Ilcik and one son.

This son obviously can’t be your Great Grandfather. But they could have had another child.

If you examine the photo:

  • John Ilcik (16 MARH 1886 – ?? SEPT 1982)
  • Jeho Zena Marie Ilcik (28 SEPT 1887 – 13 AUG 1951), Age 63
  • John Ilcik (12 AUG 1908 – 02 JUL 1916)

Gravestone Question

John, 

I know it is his grave because this info provided below is true: He was born in Czechoslovakia, the son of Paul and Mary Elcik, the former Mary Jonek, whom he married in 1905.

He came to the United States 58 years ago.

He was predeceased by his wife, Mary, who died in 1951.

Survived by four sons Joseph of Brooklyn, NY; George of Lisbon Falls, ME; Andrew of Corona, NY; Michael of Miami, FL; a daughter Mrs. Mary King of Westville, NH; a brother Paul of Lisbon Falls, ME. It is my great-grandfather, not great-great-grandfather.

Another Photo Misidentification

John (NY),

I think I’m always going to be generationally challenged when I talk with you. ?

John, IV

[The picture is added as part of my defense.  It is used as the profile photo on John Elcik’s (NY) Facebook account. John is in the background. For a significant period of time, I thought I was talking to the fellow in the foreground who is John’s son, Nicholas. My mistake. I seem to have a habit of misidentify people in photos. Ouch!]
