Historical Notes
Agnes was born in 1892, in Bohemia/Austria to John and Francis (Fanny) Rezek. Her older sister, Annie, immigrated to the United States in 1892, married and settled in Butler County, Nebraska. Agnes, her parents and sister, Maria, immigrated to Linwood, Butler County, aboard the Deutschland, arriving in New York on May 24, 1906. By 1910, Agnes' parents were living in Linwood with their oldest daughter, Annie, and her husband Anton Buresh. Agnes was presumably married or living elsewhere.
