Bio
Also known as John Fleming. Settled in Butler County, Nebr. with his parents in 1874. According to one history, his father Frank Kožišek "came to Wisconsin in the early sixties and served two years in the civil War, where he changed his name to Fleming. A soldier that name was killed in action, and as the name Kožišek was hard to pronounce, the others gave him the dead man's name, which he and his children used. However, strange to relate, his grandchildren have again taken the name of Kožišek" (Rose Rosicky, A History of Czechs (Bohemians) in Nebraska (1929), p. 201). Married Anna Sabata on July 5, 1878 at Sts. Peter and Paul Catholic Church, Abie, Nebr.
