Vaclav Josef Palivec was born March 9, 1888 in Drahlín, Czech Republic. He was the second in his family to emigrate to the USA (preceded by sister, Mary).
James(Vaclav) Palivec came to U.S. at age 17, single, and without any other family members. His last residence was Drahlín, Bohemia, and his final destination was Cleveland, OH.

A marriage license reported in the Lincoln Daily News on Jan 21, 1914, names James J. Palivec, of Lincoln, 26, and Olga Matejka, 20, of Dorchester, Nebraska (about 20 miles southwest of Lincoln).
James died at the age of 30 on Oct 18, 1918, in Lincoln, Nebraska. According to a brief newspaper obituary, he died of pneumonia at the home located at 1127 South 31st St, Lincoln, Nebraska, and left a wife and four (?) children.
The Spanish Influenza pandemic was widespread throughout the nation, including Nebraska, at the time of his death. Up to twenty deaths at day were occurring in Omaha and in Lincoln. Houses were quarantined, streets were blocked off, people wore masks, funerals had to be private, and caskets were mandated to remain closed. Many people died of pneumonia as a complication of the influenza.
A funeral was held for James on Saturday, Oct 19, 1918, at Hodgman's parlors. Rev W. E. J. Gratz officiated. He was buried in Wyuka Cemetery, 3600 O Street, Lincoln, Nebraska.
His wife and children moved from Nebraska to Iowa about 1920, stayed at least five years, then moved to Cleveland, OH by 1930. The 1925 Iowa State Census showed his wife and only two children, Ladi, 10, and Olga,8.
