The others are Joseph, Anna Kuzedne, Frantisek, Ladislav and Louis. Louise was kill in the war. The family was very musical. The father, Joseph, lead a band and composed his own music. Vaclav received his education in Czechoslovakia and as a young man he was trained to be a shoe maker. During the early 1900s, Czechoslovakia was under Austrian-Hungarian rule. This suppression of his homeland and the lack of freedom, encouraged Vaclav to come to America. At the age of 20, he walked through the forest and escaped over the border to Bremen, Germany, where he boarded the ship Kronprinc Wilhelm and sailed to New York, landing on May 22, 1906. He then came to the home of his mother's brother, Jan Novak, near Vining, Iowa. As a young man in Iowa he worked as a farmhand for several farmers, Frank Duhachek and John Konicek were two of his employers. Five years later, he sponsored his younger brother, Joseph, to make the trip to America. Joseph entered America on March 8, 1910. In 1912, as soon as it was legally possible, Vaclav became a naturalized citizen, changing his name to the American spelling of Vencil Bartosh. Vencil was very proud to be an American and never forgot to celebrate the Fourth of July and Memorial Day. He was a dedicated member of the C.S.P.S. Lodge in Vining. Vencil met Emilie "Emma" Sokol at a neighborhood dance. Dancing at neighborhood parties and at area dance halls was the main type of recreation and socializing for young adults. They attended many dances. Transportation was by horse and buggy, train or walking. Vencil and Emma were married in Toledo, Iowa on November 26, 1912. They lived on farms near Vining, Belle Plaine and Elberon until they bought their own farm one-mile northeast of Vining. Besides farming, Vencil also worked and maintained roads in his township. Together, they had five daughters: Alice, Sep 15, 1913, married Joseph Zeman on Oct 25, 1933. Grace, Feb 9, 1915, married Conrad Schnepf on Mar 21, 1950. Agnes, Aug 1, 1916 was still born. Lillian Apr 15, 1922, married Fred Dostal on Sep 30, 1941 Rose, Apr 28, 1924, married Kenneth Chitty on Mar 28, 1942. They lived on the farm until Vencil's health failed. They moved to Toledo in 1933, where Vencil operated a show repair shop. He was able to use the skills he had learned as a young man in Czechoslovakia. Vencil died of cancer on November 5, 1934. Emma finished raising her family and continued living in Toledo until she died from a stroke on February 10, 1972. Both are buried at the National Cemetery near Vining, Iowa where Emma's grandfather, Joseph Sokol, was the first person to be buried.
