Their son, Anton Zverina, owned a grocery store in the Broadway area and pioneered the processing of chicory root as an ingredient in coffee blends and as a coffee substitute. He built a chicory factory on Blanche Ave. in Cleveland, and later added a rye flour mill and a Bohemian rye bread bakery. The collection consists of a family history, genealogical data, writings by family members, receipts, and newspaper clippings. Also included is a detailed description of a trip around the world taken by Rosamond Zverina, daughter of Anton. | | | | Call #: | MS 4560 | | | | Extent: | 0.10 linear feet (1 container) | | | | Subjects: | Zverina, Anton, 1863-1934. | Zverina, Antonin, 1830-1910. | Zverina family. | Kletecka family. | Czechs -- Ohio -- Cleveland. | Czech Americans -- Ohio -- Cleveland. | Businessmen -- Ohio -- Cleveland. | Voyages around the world. | Chicory industry -- Ohio -- Cleveland.
