Description	:	Also known as Charles. Settled in Butler County, Nebr. with his parents in 1874. According to one history, his father Frank Kožišek "came to Wisconsin in the early sixties and served two years in the civil War, where he changed his name to Fleming. A soldier that name was killed in action, and as the name Kožišek was hard to pronounce, the others gave him the dead man's name, which he and his children used. However, strange to relate, his grandchildren have again taken the name of Kožišek" (Rose Rosicky, A History of Czechs (Bohemians) in Nebraska (1929), p. 201).... Read More	Also known as Charles.

His age was 81 years, 10 months and 8 days. Funeral services were held Saturday morning from the Kucera Funeral home to St. Anthony's church, where the Rev. Chas. F. Rada offered the requiem High mass at 9:30 o'clock. Interment was in St. Anthony's cemetery. The pall-bearers were Joseph E., Rudolf R., Leonard V., and Vincent J. Kozisek, grandsons and Joseph A.

Survivors are his wife and two sons, Joseph A. of Bruno, and Charles A. of Abie; nine grandchildren and six greatgrandchildren, two brothers, William of Bruno and James of O'Neill; three sisters, Mrs. Anna Yindrick of Bruno and Mrs. Valentina Vondra and Miss Mary Kozisek of Casper, Wyo.

The family came to Nebraska in 1873, locating in Butler county. His marriage to Miss Mary Malovec was solemnized at Sts. Peter and Paul's church in Abie July 26, 1892. He was a farmer all of his life and knew and experienced all of the trials and failures and successes of the pioneer and present day farmer. But he was a good farmer who had confidence, and who preferred farming to any other kind of occupation. He had a sense of beauty and order, and took pleasure in keeping his farm-steads trim and tidy, growing trees for his own and succeeding generations, continuing to labor until he lay down to die.
