Bio

Son of Michael & Maryanna (Florhow) Wajtowicz (Wetovick). Married to Victoria Fida. Occupation: Farmer. From the book: "Fullerton's First 100 Years" pg's 173/174 Mr. and Mrs. William Wetovick were married in Plesna, Poland, on May 7, 1885. They left their homeland for America in 1889, when both were in their 20's. Mrs. Wetovick's brother Jon Fyda was to meet them in the Village of Duncan and the train didn't stop, so it took them on to Grand Island, where they spent the night on an open platform until the next morning when the train came back from North Platte. They lived in a sod house until they moved to Nance County in 1893, 9 1/2 miles east of Fullerton in another sod house. In 1903, they moved 4 1/2 miles east of Fullerton. They encountered floods that came from Prairie Creek, north of Central City, and also dry years. In 1915, they bought 38 acres on the east edge of Fullerton's city limits, and lived there until retiring in 1937. They bought a house one block from the Catholic Church and lived there for 12 years. They had six daughters and two sons: Mrs. Sophie Boro, deceased; Mrs. Anna Boro of Silver Creek, Nebraska; Mrs. Emily Koziol, deceased; Mrs. Albina Zima of Ashtabula, Ohio; Mrs. Victoria Warloski of Columbus, Nebraska; Mrs. Leocadia Siemek, of Fullerton, Nebraska; August Wetovick, Sr., deceased; and Edward Wetovick of Kearney, Nebraska.
