He was born in Bohemia, December 8, 1881, and is a son of Joseph and Josephine (Kradlubec) Ptacek. The parents of the subject of this sketch came to this country in 1869, landing in New York City July 10, with all the members of their immediate family but one. They settled in Cleveland, Ohio, where many of them still reside. The children of the family were as follows: Joseph, the subject of this biography; Mary, wife of Mr. Ptak, of Cleveland, Ohio; Vaclav, who is married, and engaged in farming on his property in section 18, township 15, range 5; Annie (Kovar), who is a widow, and lives in Cleveland, Ohio; John, who lives in Cleveland, Ohio; Frank, who lives in Oklahoma territory; and Anton, who resides in Bruno, Nebraska. Joseph Ptacek, of whom this sketch treats, commenced to learn the bricklayer’s trade in his native country, and mastered his trade in Cleveland, Ohio. He is also a master of the clarionette. He resided in that city until I885, when he removed to Saunders county, Nebraska, and from Christian F. Peets bought the west half of the southeast quarter of section 19, township 15, range 5. As there were a number of buildings on this property, he at once took up his residence there and lived on the farm until I891, when he bought 120 acres from Mr. Ptak, 80 acres of which are in the northeast quarter of section I9. On this last mentioned piece of land he has built his house and farm buildings. The purchase price for this farm of 120 acres was $20 per acre. In I887 Mr. Ptacek bought 40 acres more from Mr. Ptak, his brother-in-law, who, with Joseph Ptacek; Sr., had bought 200 acres in section 19 and 160 acres in section 18, which they in later years divided. Mr. Ptacek has made many improvements upon his farm. He built a good frame house; a barn, 28 by 60 by 16 feet in dimensions; a granary measuring 32 by 24 by 9 feet, and set out a two-acre orchard. He has three good wells, 52, 34 and 10 feet deep, respectively, the last mentioned being a spring well. A windmill and water tank are also features of the place. Mr. Ptacek is interested in a new threshing machine. Joseph Ptacek was married in Cleveland, Ohio, to Anna Cerny, a daughter of John Cerny. In 1886, the year after Mr.Ptacek located in Saunders county, Mrs. Ptacek (Anna Cerny) died, after a very short illness, leaving to mourn her loss a loving husband and four children; namely: Edward, Emma, William, and Charles. Charles, the last named, being a babe at the time of his mothers death, was taken care of during his infancy by his grandmother, Mr. Ptacek’s mother. The remains of Mrs. Ptacek (Anna Cerny) were laid to rest in the Plasi cemetery The eldest of the four children, Edward, upon coming to manhood’s estate, married Martha Rosentrater, and has one child, Edward, Jr. In 1887, Mr. Ptacek, the subject of this sketch, married Anna Jelinck, of Saunders County, Nebraska and the fruits of their marriage have been three sons and two daughters, namely: John; Frank; Joseph, Jr.; Mary, deceased; and Ludmila. Mr. Ptacek, with his family, attends the Catholic church of Plasi, Saunders county.
