Vaclav Hasik married Terezie Chochola in Chicago IL on 20 May 1901. In the April 1910 census, Terezie/Theresia is listed as the wife of Joseph Kopta with 2 children, Joseph age 8 and Antionette age 6. However, Terezie and Joseph Kopta married 20 Aug 1910 in Chicago IL.
On 10 March 1911, Terezie purchased a house at 7805 Drexel Ave, Chicago IL in her name only. The house was paid in full on 16 Jan 1913.
In Feb 1941, the children submitted delayed birth registrations as Joseph Hasik and Antionette Hasik. They said their father was James Hasik, locksmith, born in Bohemia. They were born at 7538 Maryland Ave, Chicago.
My guess is between Aug 1902 (nine months before Antionette was born) and Aug 1910 (the Kopta marriage) Vaclav left his family. I think they stayed in contact since the most likely source for the house money in 1911 was a death/insurance payment.
I can't find a death for Vaclav in Cook County IL.
