He outlived three wives and seven children...

František Vachuška, born in 1863 in Slatina, had three wives during his lifetime. At the age of 24, he married his first wife, Petronila, born Kolářová, and had five children with her, of whom only one survived to adulthood.

1) Marie (born 1888): no record of her age at death, she probably lived to adulthood,

2) Anna (1891–1892) lived to be one year old,

4) Anna (1896–1897) lived to be one and a half years old,

5) František (1898–1898) lived to be less than a year old.

Petronila died in 1899 after 12 years of marriage.

His third wife was Anna Mračková, born Kovářová, who was also a widow at the time of their marriage. Anna died in 1922 after three and a half years of marriage to František.

It is possible that after Anna's death, František married a fourth wife, but this is not certain (further thorough research would be required to ascertain this). However, records show that František lived for another 22 years after Anna's death.
