Bio

Presumably buried in Sts. Peter & Paul Cemetery. Birth year calculated from age at death. ```````````````````````````` Butler County Press (David City, Nebr.), February 7, 1896, p. 8, col. 3 LINWOOD LACONICS It becomes our sad and painful duty to chronicle the death of the two eldest daughters of Joseph Novacek, one of our highly respected merchants. Mary, the elder daughter, aged 9, died Sunday afternoon, after an illness of four days. Fanny, the second daughter, aged 7, died Tuesday morning after an illness of only fifteen hours. In each case the cause of death was spotted fever in its most malignant form. The entire community extends its heartfelt sympathy to the bereaved parents in their great affliction. ````````````````````````````` David City News (David City, Nebr.), February 13, 1896, p. 1, col. 4 Died With Spotted Fever. The Linwood Times of last week contained the following item regarding two sudden deaths which occurred there: "Two daughters of Mr. and Mrs. Jos. Novacek died with spotted fever this week - Mary, on Sunday and Fannie, Tuesday. Dr. Fitzsimmons, the attending physician and also chairman of the health board, after consultation with Drs. Murphy of Octavia and Maloch of Prague, who had been summoned here, and the board of trustees, ordered the Novacek residence vacated and fumigated, and the family to be removed to the Blatny house in the west part of town, recently the Fox property, and to have the house quarantined. Marshal Brown and O. Halstead were placed in charge of the family and have been guarding the place and refusing admittance to anyone, and will continue to do so until to-day, or possibly a little longer. This fever is perhaps one of the most serious there is, the number of cases that prove fatal being about 95 percent. Although these quarantine measures may seem to work a hardship to Mr. Novacek and his family, and in a measure do, it is only right that proper sanitary regulations should be promulgated and rigidly enforced, not only for the sake of the family itself, but the health and lives of the rest of the community. The only real disagreeable feature of the quarantine is the fact that the parties are for a while isolated from their friends; but as this will be of short duration, providing no new case of the disease is developed, it is not a thing that is unbearable.
