Jan was born in Bolevec in 1813. In 1848 when his daughter Anna was born, he was an apprentice stone cutter in Bolevec.

He married Anna Skrivanova [from Doubrava] and records show they came to America in 1855 with two daughters, Mary [b ca 1844] and Anna [Nov. 29, 1848]. They also had a son, John [Johannes Nejo] who lived in the Solon area, but it is not known how or when he came to America.

Jan farmed in the area. He and Anna had two more daughters after coming to Iowa: Elizabeth [b 1856] and Barbara [b 1859]. The Ilick name was spelled Jilek in Bohemia. Jan died in Solon in 1872. He was only 59.

Clasped hands symbolism: Two clasped hands on the same level with matching cuffs as shown on Jan's stone, typically represents a farewell to earthly life, also the unity of life and death and/or a welcome to eternal life.
