He was born on March 9, 1878, in Sany, Bohemia (now called the Czech Republic). When he was 6 months old, his parents, Frank and Anna Skokan decided to move to the United States. They wanted to live in the west and in the same year found their new home in Knox County, Nebraska, about seven miles south of Niobrara. At the time, the area was sparsely populated, schools were not very good, and the early years were very difficult for the settlers. On February 5, 1901, Alois married Bozena (Bessie) L. Tichy, and the couple lived on a farm about six miles south of Niobrara. The couple had seven sons and a daughter and brought the children up in the Czech tradition, so they all speak, read, and write beautifully in Czech. To the delight of the father, the young boys were keen members of the Sokol. In 1932, a terrible tragedy befell the family. Their daughter, Nora, died and her mother, who had been of ill health, followed Nora in 1933. He worked on his own, until November 23,1936, when he married Anna Julia (Somr) Soucek, who was born on August 31, 1893, a widow with three daughters: Evelyn, Elaine and Elsie. In March of 1940, Alois handed the farm over to his son, Frank, and retired, moving with his wife to Niobrara. After a few years, he fell ill and was bedridden from December, 1945, until his death in February. He left behind his wife Anna; seven sons, Edward L. in Omaha, Emil and Otto in Seattle, Washington, Louis (Louie) Jr. in Verdigre, Nebraska, William J. in the medical corps of the US naval reserve in Newport, Rhode Island, George in Niobrara, and Frank on the family farm; three sisters, Bessie Sukup, Emma Tichy and Mary Tichy; ten grandchildren; brother Adolf Skokan; and three stepdaughters and many friends and relatives. The funeral took place in the ZCBJ hall, Niobrara, on Saturday, March 2, 1946 in the presence of many friends, and relatives, from near and far. The funeral ceremony was led by Reverend Wollf in English, and by brother Josef Broz in Czech. Order of Vysehrad No. 53, in Niobrara, Nebraska. -------------------------
