The extent of the migration is still being researched, but the total number of adults may reach more than two dozen. The earlier immigrants came by way of Missouri, but the later arrivals relocated directly to Kansas. John Brox Johann Prax (later known as John Brox) was born 21 Nov 1833 in house No. 16 in Neu Waldek, Bohemia, a village which was then within the Austrian Empire. He married Anna Maria Kössler, and their first child was born in 1863. In 1869, the family was living in the former home of Anna's deceased father in the neighboring village of Altwaldek. Steamer Braunschweig, after 1886 On 6 Feb 1875, John received a passport to emigrate with his wife and children from Altwaldek to the United States. They set sail from Bremen and arrived in Baltimore 9 Apr 1875 aboard the steamer "Braunschweig". They must have continued directly to Kansas, since they were counted during the state census that was taken only one month later. They were shown living in the Good Intent neighborhood of Atchison County where they were staying with John and Veronica Woletz (or Wohletz). The Woletz couple had emigrated from Bohemia ten years earlier, sailing the same route from Bremen to Baltimore aboard the "Gutenberg" and landing on 11 Aug 1865. Their ship's manifest was more specific than most and showed that they were from the village of Überdörfel, a short walk from Altwaldek. They had sailed with others from these villages, but none of them have been found in Kansas. Kansas John and Anna had emigrated with their three older children, and their fourth was born less than a year afterward. They were the following: Mary Anna (1863-1933) who married John H. Myers 1888. Johann Joseph "John" (1869-1954) who married Elizabeth Keeler 1894. Anton Paul "Tony" (1874-1955) who married Barbara M. Anslinger 1904. Frank (1876-1948) who married Bertha Flachsbarth 1901. Although listed as a weaver on the ship passenger list, John Brox would spend the rest of his life as a farmer in the Deer Creek community in Shannon Township. According to his obituary, he "had been a sickly man all his life." Before coming to Kansas, he suffered from dyspepsia which is severe heartburn or nausea. It also states that he suffered from asthma during the last twenty five years of his life. He died unexpectedly on the morning of 27 June 1910 and was buried in the cemetery of the St. Louis Church northwest of Atchison, Kansas. Anna died 6 June 1913 and was buried with her husband.
