Anna Kristufek Donat May 1856 - Mar 31, 1931 Chicago, Illinois, United States

Anna Kristufek is the eldest daughter of John Kristufek (1823-1913) and his wife Anna (1825-1881), born in Chicago soon after the family came to the US in 1853. Anna grew up at 171 DeKoven in Chicago. Her family relocated a few blocks away in the early 1870s to 487 S. Canal Street, which was also the residence of the Donat family. Anna and Vaclav Donat were married on April 6, 1875 and had seven children. According to her granddaughter, Doris Kristufek Krestan (1925-2008), Anna believed the solution to all of life's problems was putting your hands to work in hot soapy water.
