Notes:

The date of birth on the gravestone is not verified from other sources.
He is listed as "Franz" in the marriage records of 1864 and 1870.
The marriage record for his first marriage to Marianna Zagorska in October 1864 (Brodnica, Poland) gave his age as 23. Marianna's age was 19. His age was reported as 27 in them record of his second marriage to Antonina Antoszewska in 1870. A record of Frank's baptism has not been found in the Brodnica parish records. Research continues.

The 1910 obituary does not mention Frank's first wife, Marianna Zagorska, who died in 1870--before Frank immigrated to America.
Frank and his second wife, along with two children from his first marriage, immigrated to America about 1873.
The family moved from Detroit, MI to Ashton, NE before moving to Marshall County, MN about 50 years earlier [obituary of son (Ignacy), 1946]

-The earliest documentation I have found for the family in the U. S. is a baptism record: Ignacy, son of Franciszek Zakrzewski and Antonina Antoszewska, July 13, 1875 [St. Albertus Catholic church baptism record; Detroit, MI]
Frank purchased land from Burlington and Missouri Railroad in Sherman County, NE on August 12, 1879

The 1900 census has many inaccuracies or incorrect spellings:

--census: 1900: Minnesota: Marshall County: Alma Township [household 123/124; e. d. 96, sheet 3];
Zatrazewski, Frank; Dec. 1840 b. GER; farmer; immigrated 1873;
Antonia, April 1852 b. GER; married 30 years; 8 of 10 children living;
Egents (son), July 1875 b. MI;
Mary, June 1883 b. NE;
Stanislaus, Sep. 1885 b. NE;
Anton, Jan. 1888 b. NE;
Brige (daughter), Feb. 1896 b. NE

Special note:

Research by Candice Price available on Ancestry has helped me understand another Zakrzewski family in Marshall County was not apparently related to Frank and his family. The other family was headed by Wojciech [Adalbert] Zakrzewski (1840–1915). His birth location of Ocwieka, Gąsawa, (Żnin) Bydgoszcz, Poland, is approximately 90 miles from Brodnica, Poland, where Frank and his first wife were married.
