Elsie Paroubek
Eliška "Elsie" Paroubek (1906–1911) was a Czech American girl who was a victim of kidnapping and murder in the spring of 1911. Her disappearance and the subsequent search for her preoccupied Illinois, Wisconsin and Minnesota law enforcement for six weeks. Her funeral was attended by between 2000 and 3000 people.〔"The search for Elsie Paroubek is one of the things that will be long remembered in Chicago. In behalf of the parents of this small child, the mayor of Chicago, women's clubs, civic societies, and members of the bench have each had an individual part." 〕
The story of the girl's death, and especially her photograph in the ''Chicago Daily News'', were inspirations for Henry Darger's immense fantasy novel ''The Story of the Vivian Girls''.
==Background==
Elsie's mother was born Karolína Vojáčková on November 26, 1869, in village Míčov (Meconi), eastern Bohemia, in what is now the Czech Republic. Elsie's father František (Frank) Paroubek was born in November 15, 1867. His father's name was Jan. Frank came to the U.S. at the age of fifteen, and returned to native Bohemia between 1882 and 1892. He and Karolína were married there in 1892. In the United States, Frank worked as a painter while Karolina maintained the home. Eliška (Elsie) was their seventh child.〔From the family tree at ancestry.com and the Cook County, Illinois death index.

Frank is sometimes referred to as "Peter" or "John", and Karolina is sometimes called "Mary". Elsie is also called "Mary" or "Emily" in the Rockford, Illinois newspapers.
