I recieved a very nice message from Wanda Patrick, she was talking about some confusion over how Ed Kautzky came to stay with the Forrets. I am includinf a piece from the paper that Mary (Kautzky) wrote.

The Kubitschek family came to America in 1870 when Mary Kubitschek (the oldest) was nine years old. She had two brothers, Frank and Adolph and a sister Pauline. They lived on the Kubitschek farm in Washington Township. On November 4, 1878 Mary was married to Jacob Forret and they lived near Waukee. They took Edward Kautzky into their home as a foster son in 1881 after he arrived in this country, and he lived with them until 1900 when he was married. Edward went to a country school which was the first school in Dallas County, Iowa (a marker stands there now).
Frank and Adolph Kubitschek settled in Eagle Grove and owned and operated a furniture store and funeral home there until they retired. Pauline became a dentist in Omaha and later married Frank Christnen.
The Forrets moved to Nebraska where they homesteaded 160 acres near Gordon. Edward attended school while they lived in Nebraska and while there was able to take nine violin lessons, paying for them by selling Prairie Chickens he had hunted and shot. He used the name of Eddie or Fritz Forret until he was married.
Pauline Kubitschek Christen, her husband Frank, and their 9-month-old baby returned to Bohemia with her parents. The baby died on the ship.
Aunt Kubitschek wanted to return to her old home in Bohemia, so Jacob Forret bought their farm and lived there until Edward was married in 1900 to Jennie Slaninger. He had just bought a farm about three miles north of the Kubitschek farm. The Forrets then moved to a small acreage just north of the Frank Slaninger home and stayed there until March 1920 when they moved to a home in Perry. Mr. Forret passed away May 11, 1932. Mary Forret continued living in the Perry home until her death on April 7, 1940.

If you visit the Kautzky Kronkles and choose the Photo Link, you will be able to find a number of pictures of Forrets, you will have to try several, since I do not have them all labeled yet
