Bio
He was born in a small town named Male Kunice, in Moravia, located in the Republic of Czecho-Slovakia. His parents were Frank and Magdalia Sugarek. Magdalia died when Charles was two years old, leaving him and his seven year old sister motherless. Their father remarried and in the spring of 1856, the family came to America. They moved to Bluff, a little town near La Grange in Fayette County, where many Bohemian immigrants had settled and were farming. The father was killed in the Civil War and Charles was left an orphan at the age of 12. He acquired his education from the hard knocks of life on the cattle and wagon trails between central Texas and the Rio Grande River. He settled in Fayette county in 1875 and on January 9, 1877, he married Mollie Horak. In 1890, Charles and Mollie and four children moved to Bee county, settling about six miles southwest of Beeville where they purchased and improved a tract of farm land. He was the father of six children, five sons and one daughter. One son died in infancy, and another son, Eddie, was killed in action during the World War (WWI).
