Bio
d/o Frank Cabak Marie Kuban, the second wife of Paul Kuban, was born in Horni Becva, in Moravia (Czechoslovakia), in the year 1860. Her parents were Frantisek Cabak and his wife Anna Nee (Oblouk) Cabak. Marie's parents had a small farm, but her father was also a skilled carpenter. In the winter he made all kinds of things and sold them in the spring, he made quite decent money so they could live quite well. Her parents had four children but Marie was the oldest, then there were the boys, Frantisek, and the next one Josef, and the youngest Michal. In 1872 when Marie was 12 years old, her parents decided to immigrate to America. They sold all their property, but mother Cabak changed her mind and she decided not to go to America, so father Cabak went to Velke Karlovice and there he bought some land. The place was called Na Hluboke. People from that region were leaving for America. That was in the days when it all started, and the people did not talk about anything else, except about America. So instead of moving to America, the parents of Marie moved from Horni Becva to Velke Karlovice, Na Hluboke, and it seems they lived well there, because it was a large wide valley, surrounded by fine forest, but anywhere you wanted to go from there, you had to go up a hill, which was an inconvenience. Otherwise it was a good and fertile land. They could keep as many as ten beef cattle, and as many sheep, also every year they fed a fat pig, sometimes two. When the Cabaks got married, they had nothing, but because they were industrious and thrifty, they acquired quite decent property. Anna Nee (Oblouk) Kuban – born circa 1839, died 1899 age 60 at Velke Karlovice, Moravia. When Marie met her future husband, Paul Kuban, he was a widower without children with a prosperous farm. When Paul Kuban asked Marie's parents for her hand, they agreed to give him Marie and they gave her a dowry of 200 Zlotych (golden coins), two fine cows, and four sheep. And so it happened that the seventeen year old Marie Cabakova was engaged to Paul Kuban. In the year 1879, after two years of marriage, Paul Kuban and his young wife Marie (Cabak) Kuban, a girl was born, who received the name Anicka at her christening. She brought her young parents a lot of joy – but it was not meant to last for too long, since she died at the age of six months. The young mother grieved for her first born for a long time, and it seemed to her that she would never be able to forget her. Note: Velke Karlovice, Na Hluboke, Moravia was the area Anicka was born. The information is from a family history book (unpublished) titled "The Fates of the Immigrants - the History of a Czech Family in America" written by Anicka's brother Joseph Kuban approximately 1933-1934. Information is being submitted by Stacy "Bartosh" Power who is a great-great granddaughter to Mary (Marie) and Paul Kuban (Joseph's parents).
