http://boards.ancestry.com/surnames.stika/1.2.12.2/mb.ashxHi, my name is Patty Ronzani, my grandmother was Anna Marsicek Knapmiller. Her aunt was Katherina Marsicek Ouradnik. Katherina'a husband Joseph Ouradnik was the half- brother of Katerina Ouradnik wife of John Stika. They came to America as you say on 9/1/1855. I show Katerina's parents as Frantisek Ouradnik and Anna Pesek. Joseph's parents are Frantisek and Annie Sochor. If you are interested I made a copy of a story written by Jan Ouradnik, Joseph's brother, which I found at the Kewaunee Library. The original was written in Bohemian. The copy I have was translated by Jan's son.

FROM FRANK 1818-1892 OURADNIK BIO [full sister of Catharina (Sticka) Ouradnik].
Frank had farmed with his family until about 1857 when he was hit with American fever. His decision to move was urged from his brother-in-law John Stika (1817-1893) who had been the first Czech Pioneer in Kewaunee County. Frank Ouradnik (1818-1892) left for Bohemia with his father (Frank 1780-1866), brothers (Joseph 1842-1900 John 1845-1936) and sister (Maria 1840-1927) and those of his family of 4 sons (including Anton c1855, Vaclav 1845-1908) and 2 daughters (Anna 1839-1916 Hruska and Maria 1856 Skala) who survived.Many friends and many of Frank's neighbors left this homeland in June 1857 and stopping in Bremerhaven with the aid of Mr. Kares, they began the sea voyage on the Leontina. After sailing for 5 weeks and two days, they arrive safely in New York on the feast of Saint Vaclav. Among the emigrants who went with Frank Ouradnik on the ling pilgrimage were two families; Frank Lazansky, Frank Lukes, Jan Opicka, Jan Marsicek, Jan Stika (1828-1884 - different than the first pioneer), Jan Drab, Frank Zeman, Vojtech Vesely, Josef Vostoupil, Josef Holub and Frank's son in law, Jan Hruska. All of these people went with Frank Ouradnik to Kewaunee. The group did not stay long in New York. They obtained travel tickets. They continued their journey and went from New York to Albany on a steamship and from Albany across to Detroit by rail to Chicago and then on to Milwaukee by Steamboat. In Milwaukee they stayed for a week, because the steamboat to Kewaunee did not go, only once a week. At last the steamboat they awaited brought them to Kewaunee, the goal of their travel. In Kewaunee the group separated. Some of the people followed Frank Ouradnik and after looking around the city of Kewaunee, they hurried from town to the country to the first pioneer and the brother-in-law Jan Stika (1817). John lived about 10 miles away from the city. The Kewaunee Listy newspaper was written in Czech. The date of the paper is unknown at this time but it would have been in the 1800's since newer papers would have been in English. In any case, the reporter went on to say that times had changed a lot since the time of the early settlement. He wrote that in 1857, "There were two sawmills, two stores, two boarding houses (for workers at the mills) and a few buildings. In place of streets there were a few trees and stumps. Where today stands the mill, at that time there was forest. Because they did not know the road from Kewaunee to the country and surely would have been lost in the dense forest, they needed in Kewaunee to hire a guide who know Jan Stika (1817) well and who for a good sum of money led them to the right place which they reached by evening. Everyone can imagine how not only he, but all of them rejoiced when they finally reached their goal and especially when he was reunited with his brother-in-law and his sister. But the joy did not last long when he realized that he needed to rely upon himself and that he must make farmland from forest if he was to farm like in Bohemia. And since he was born a farmer, he wanted to continue that here in the forests of America. "Joseph purchased 80 acres from his brother-in-law and built a house for himself and his family. He began farming but had few tools and farm equipment. There were no oxen or cows in the area. After paying to the land there were only a few dollars remaining. Ironically the money was worth very little since there really was nothing to purchase in the area with the money. The article goes on to say,
"For livelihood he did as he could, he obtained a bag of flour. He had to carry it from Kewaunee on his back through the forest. He could have obtained an ox, but what good could it have been, in the summer it could graze somewhat but it could not endure the snow of winter. So he bought axes and picks with which his oldest son, Frank and he began to fell trees, so that he could sow a small plot free of stumps, so that he would not have to buy flour which was expensive. When he began to clear a piece of land, he took a pick and with his son Frank, dug up and seeded wheat and a piece for potatoes. As for the first winter (1857-58), it was mild. There was not snow until Candlemas, so they were able to work over a good piece of woods. In the spring the cleared land was seeded. They had hoped that they would soon gain their own livelihood. Unfortunately a severe frost came on July 15, 1858 which burnt both the wheat and the potatoes.Nothing remained but to find work because the remaining dollars were being scattered and since it was far to the saw mill in Kewaunee, he had to take to making shingles in which his sons could help him. When they had a large supply of shingles, his brother -in-law Jan Stika (1817) hauled them to a store what he needed. So he began to farm in America. In the winter he made logs and because he had no oxen, he had to borrow oxen from the neighbor Frank Stepanek (for which he had to pay) and he hauled them to a near-by river. The second year he struggled in the same manner but in the third year when he had cleared a larger piece of land, he could finally purchase oxen, there were no horses even to be seen.Now he could farm better, when the grain crop was successful and he threshed it, he had nowhere to grind it, because there was no close mill, he had to grind the wheat manually, or rather (since grinding in that manner was very slow) he beat it in a crusher. Bread from such flour was dark but still tasted good to everyone. As he cleared more woodland and could then plant more grain and he was tired of crushing it, he looked for some mill and because there was no mill nearby, he had to ride to DePere in Brown County about 32 miles and such a trip required three days, since roads went here and there and they were not in the condition that they are now. So it took many years but as time progressed it got better. He began to raise more livestock, his sons grew up, they set up their own farms. Mills were constructed closer and so he did not have to drive so far to the mill. Even though like all pioneers, they had rough times, but he did not doubt but persevered and thereby obtained a good position and he took good care of all his children. Each of this sons has a good farm and daughter are married to regular and good independent farmers and they are better cared for than they would have been in Bohemia.Now when he should rest from his difficult beginnings he separates from his sons and went to a place from which there is no return. His children can truly be proud of their Father, since he was respected everywhere and he deserved it. His burial took place Wednesday April 13 in the Catholic Cemetery with large attendance of people, both local and distant and as he had the friendship of local settlers, it was clear in his illness and funeral because at the time of his illness the house was filled with neighbors which home he spoke to the end. There had not been such a funeral yet and the funeral sermon by Rev Father Kolar local spiritual leader, touched everyone that tears could not be held back.
He did not die of illness he died of old age (Marasma). He left behind his wife, two brothers, Josef and Jan, a sister Marie and these sons and daughters, Frank, Vaclav, Josef, Antonin, Emanuel, Anna Hurska, Marie Skala, Magdalen Kindel, May the ground rest lightly upon him.

Patty Ronzani
An obituary in the Kewaunee Enterprise dated 1/29/1884 shows the following: "A farmer by the name of Sticka, one miles south of city died Sat night and was buried Monday. He was about 60 - leaves 2 sons and several daughters. The mother died several years ago" Patty Ronzani writed that she believes this to be John Sticka and that Joanna would have died before 1884.Note: I cannot find any record of John's marriage to Johanna Tausek. In their divorce
papers of 1875, Anna states that she and John never had any children together. Most of
the children are born before 1875 and Anna's obituary states that John had two wives so
possibly John and Johanna were married in Bohemia. However, the ship's manifest, the
divorce papers, and land papers on file show Johanna's name as Tausek not Sticka.
I am aware that the names Sticka and Stika are spelt differently throughout this
paper. There are also other name discrepancies, such as Martha/Margaret,
Theresia/Theresa, etc. I used the spelling as found in documents on file or as printed in
the newspaper.
I am also aware that sometimes dates of births and or marriages are different. I
used whichever date was given on the documents in file and also used the dates as
provided in the newspaper.
