NOTES: Stephan Johann IRSIK and second wife Marianna Antonia KABAT IRSIK
came to the United States about 1857 from the area of Fridek-Mistek, Moravia
(Sviadnov) in the Austrian Empire.  Stephan Johann IRSIK, his wife, and five
children traveled to the United States from Moravia with Francis MARAK Sr.
and his wife,  Barbara CHAMRAD MARAK, and their seven children, John MARAK
(brother of Francis MARAK Sr.) and his wife, Rosina HORIL MARAK, and Fred
CHARBULCK and family.

They sailed from Bremerhaven, Germany and after a six week voyage across the
North Atlantic arrived in New York.  There they purchased train tickets to
Saint Joseph, Missouri.  However, a few miles out of Quincy, Illinois, they
found the railroad went no farther.  After a few weeks in the Quincy area
the MARAK families decided to buy a team of oxen and a wagon and go on;  The
IRSIK and CHARBULCK families remained behind and settled in the Palmyra,
Missouri area.  Palmyra is located on the Missouri side of the Mississippi
just a few miles southwest of Quincy.

After a trying five weeks journey across the Missouri country the MARAKS
crossed the Missouri River on a ferry and proceeded on to Brown County,
Kansas where they found the John BUNCK family located on a fine farm. The
Francis MARAK Sr. family located just north of the Bunck farm.

In 1859 Stephan Johann IRSIK and his family drifted down the Mississippi
river to St. Louis, and a year later moved to the Marak settlement northwest
of Everest, Kansas.  They came as far as St. Joseph, Missouri by boat and
the rest of the way with an ox team.  Later they moved to Nemeha County, but
returned to Brown county in 1870 and settled on a farm one mile west of
Everest.  They moved to Everest, after Marak was abandoned, where they
resided till their deaths.  They were among the first settlers in Everest
and among the oldest pioneers.

Stephan Johann IRSIK and Marianna Antonia KABAT IRSIK are buried at the All
Saints Catholic Cemetery, located at the old Marak townsite, about three
miles northwest of Everest, Brown, Kansas.

Marianna's father, Melchior Kaspar KABAT, died 4 May 1827, 22 days before
her birth.  Her birth record states she was born posthuma.  This indicates
her father was deceased at the time of her birth.  On 5 Feb 1828, her
mother, Thekla, married Franz BAYTEK, a master-shoemaker.  Marianna was
probably raised with the last name BAYTEK.  The biography of Leopold August
IRSIK, in the 1933 edition of Illustriana Kansas, records her name as Mary
BAITEK (KABAT) JIRSIK.
