Bio
Rosile "Rose" Brtek was born on 24 June 1837 in Bohemia. Rosile and Jan (John) Serbus were married in Czechoslovakia where they farmed until they immigrated to the United States in 1862. Their oldest son, Frank, was born on the ship during the trip to America. The family arrived in Suffolk, New York, on 02 September 1864. Family stories say that Rosile and Jan had daughters born to them while they lived in Czechoslovakia. Sadly, these same stories say the daughters died in infancy. Rosile and Jan originally settled in Shakopee, Minnesota. In 1865, they moved to Belle Plaine Township, Brown County, Minnesota, where they homesteaded on 61 acres of land. Jan and Rosile had seven sons, Frank M. (Franz), John William, William F. (Vilem), Joseph Paul, Henry Peter, Anton Joseph, and Adolph John Serbus. Rosile's husband, Jan, wanted to move to Bechyn, Minnesota, so their seven sons could marry Bohemian women; so, in 1881, they sold the land in Brown County and headed to Renville County. The family had to cross the Minnesota River to get to Henryville Township, Renville County. The Serbus brothers herded 40 head of cattle and "loose" horses during the move in their wagon to Henryville Township, Renville County, Minnesota, where Rosile and Jan purchased 320 acres of farmland. Their son, Henry, later took over this farm. Rosile Brtek Serbus died on Sunday, 25 August 1912, at the home of her son, Henry. Her surviving six sons were her pallbearers. Her husband, Jan Serbus, died on 12 December 1895, the same year as their son, William. Rosile was buried on Tuesday, 27 August, in St. Mary's Catholic Cemetery in Bechyn, Renville County, Minnesota, next to her husband, and their son, William Serbus.
