Notes:

The following obituary indicates that Larry Grych was born in Vienna, Austira. His second wife's naturalization papers, however, indicate that Larry was born in Hrabin, Poland. This may be a variation of Polish spelling for Grabin, or Grabinny so we are sticking with Grabinny as his birthplace so far.

These same naturalization papers also indicate that Larry entered the country in New York on May 5, 1881, but we have not yet been able to find a passenger manifest in 1881 showing him as a passenger.

After migrating to Bremond, Robertson County, Texas, where there was a considerable settlement of Polish immigrants and specifically some from the Grych family, Larry did move to Ennis, Texas, and he initially took a job with the railroad there. He apparently lost his leg in a railroad accident and then started his cafe in Ennis.

Czech Immigration To Ennis, Texas
The 1880's

From the Cesky Hlas, Vol.12,No.4, November 1997 by Frank Mikula


The 1880's were tumultuous times in the land of Moravia. The native people were under the rule of the Emperor of Austria. Civil liberties were at a minimum, the economy was in a shambles, arable land had long ago been divided and subdivided, new farm land was impossible to obtain. Two and three families within a residence were common. Wars and rumors of war abounded. Native sons were being conscripted to serve and die for causes foreign to their homeland.

Letters from relatives in the new land were frequently arriving. Although conceding that the work was hard and the climate could be severe, the messages extolled the virtues of the home we so love, our great state of Texas! Everyone, it seemed, could own land, if they so chose. Crops were abundant, cattle for dairy and consumption purposes were everywhere, horses were in ample supply. Comfortable housing was being quickly erected. Numerous Moravian natives, suppressed Austrian citizens, began to crowd the offices of their village magistrates seeking official approval to emigrate. The applications, extant in official archives, portray in vivid detail the condition of the times.

Dateline New York - 25 March 1884.
Today the NEKAR, a sailing steam-assisted cargo vessel of German registry docked at New York Harbor. As is now common, she bore numerous immigrants to our country. Fortunately, the majority of them are destined to populate the frontier State of Texas and will be with us for only a brief stay. We wish them all good fortune!

The NEKAR was owned by the firm Norduetscher Lloyd of Bremen. From 1881 through at least 1885 she plied the Atlantic between Bremen and New York on a monthly basis. In addition to cargo, thousands of immigrants made the passage within her hold. Subsequent tales relate the hardships of this crossing - but that is another story.

Arriving in "Amerika" aboard the NECKAR on that cold, foggy, March day were the following souls. Most ultimately settled in the Ennis, Texas area and, today, their descendants have multiplied many hundred-fold and made enormous contributions to the homeland once adopted by their ancestors.
