Bio

Mary Ann "Maria" Kojetin was born on 15 March, 1872, in Scott County, Minnesota, to Wencel Joseph and Mary A. "Anna" (Macholda) Kojetin. At the age of five, Mary moved with her parents to the Bechyn, Minnesota, community where she spent her early years. On 18 June 1889, Mary was united in marriage to John William Serbus, the son of Jan and Rosalie (Brtek) Serbus. They were married in St. Mary's Catholic Church in Bechyn. After their marriage, they lived on a farm in Henryville Township where they farmed for 46 years. They moved to Olivia, Minnesota, in 1930. Although Mary was not feeling her best for several days prior to her death, she had been doing her housework as usual. Because she was especially active the day before she died, her sudden death came as a shock to her husband, family, and many relatives and friends. Mary Ann "Maria" Kojetin Serbus died quietly in her sleep of a heart attack, early in the morning of 09 May 1844. Mary Ann was 72 years old at the time of her death and she had lived in Renville County most of her life. Mary Ann was survived by her husband, John William Serbus, Sr., and her seven children, Rose (Michael) Goblish, Anna (Michael) Frank, James, William, John E., Matthew, and Gertrude (Frank) Bartes. The entire family lived in the Olivia community. Two daughters, Mary Hosek and Blanche Serbus preceded her in death. Additional survivors included 36 grandchildren, 23 great-grandchildren; and, Church in Olivia, Minnesota. Father H. D. Pomije officiated. Mary was buried in St. Mary's Catholic Cemetery in Bechyn, Renville County, Minnesota. All of her pallbearers were her grandsons.
