I'm stumped finding data on my great grandfather, Joseph (Josip) Stephen Klescek.  I believe he was born in Jugolsavia/Serbia in 1888.  Father may have been Jasper Klescek, Mother may have been Bonicin Cleslowski.  He died in 1946 at the Cook County TB hospital in Cook County, Illinois, USA.  He was buried in an unmarked grave at the hospital TB cemetery (now a park).

Thank you Chris.  Margaret was the daughter of Josef Klescek.  He divorced Margaret's mother and was never heard from again.  I found where he died (Chicago, ILL).  I believe he's from Milowce, Slovakia, B-1888, but I cannot find any information at all.  I have a death certificate indicating his mother Bonicin Cleslowski (I don't think this name exists as I cannot find 1 person that has that name).  His father was Gasper Klescek.
