Jaroslav and Anna Sklenicka and family
On the morning of the Eastland Disaster, despite the fact that plans had been made for the entire Sklenicka family to attend the Western Electric employee picnic, Jaroslav Sklenicka's wife and children all stayed home being very sick with the flu. Jaroslav himself was going to stay home with his family but his wife Anna urged him to go alone and enjoy himself, as long as he was the only member of the family that was feeling well. Jaroslav did not return from the picnic, a casualty of the Eastland Disaster.
...he was going to stay home... Jaroslav is buried in the Eastland section of the Bohemian National Cemetery in Chicago.
