  From "Descendants of Josephus Rakoczy"; John entered the United States on February 18,1906 at Baltimore,Maryland after leaving from Bremen,Germany . His "Declaration of Intention" for naturalization( dated May 5,1934) states that his occupation was "section man" ,and he was 5' 5" tall,weighing 145 pounds and had a crippled left foot. John was married to his wife Katherine Lestinsky in Youngstown,Ohio on November 9,1911. He then moved to Fort Dodge,Iowa where their son John was born on May 12,1912. there were gypsum mines at that time in Fort Dodge, so that is why he may have gone there. John and his wife then moved to Gypsum,Ohio where he worked at the gypsum mines. This was around 1913-22. Children Joseph and Julia were born in Gypsum. Also working at the gypsum mines and living in Gypsum was his brother Stephen and wife Katherine. Their daughter Anne was born in Gypsum. Gypsum,Ohio is between Port Clinton and Lakeside. John and family then moved to Lakeside where he got a job with the Lakeside and Marblehead Railroad, where he worked until he retired. Then John went to work for the State Park at Danbury( on Sandusky Bay east of Gypsum) until he passed away in 1947. His funeral services were held at St. Joseph's Church in Marblehead and burial was made in the church cemetery. The Rev. A.J.Schaefer officiated. Church is at 802 Barclay St.,Marblehead,Ohio
