Hi Joshua,  Vaclav is buried at Bohemian Cemetery in Omaha.  It appears that he married in Madison County, Iowa in Oct 1869 and came with his wife and three oldest children to Omaha in 1873.  Wife Anna had immigrated to the US from Hluboká via New Orleans in 1861 (https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/305794744/anna_elizabeth-fiala).  A tree on Ancestry indicated that Vaclav arrived in America via Liverpool on the David Hoadley on 06 Nov 1861.  Best, Jason
