From the Platte County, NE. web site: http://rootsweb.ancestry.com/~neplatte/vitals/vitals1932.html The Columbus Telegram, September 24, 1932 Mrs. Mary Sokol Dies--Following an illness of two days, Mrs. Mary Sokol, 63, residing two and a half miles northeast of Duncan, passed away at 1:15 a.m. today at her home. Her death resulted from a stroke of apoplexy, which she suffered Wednesday morning. As Miss Mary Zoucha, she was born at Tarnov, Poland, on Aug. 15, 1869,where she grew to womanhood. She came to this country at the age of 22 years, with her husband, Joseph Govern. They came directly to Columbus, and lived on a farm four miles east of the city for four years. They then moved to Columbus, where Mr. Govern entered the employ of the Union Pacific railroad. To them were born six children--three daughters, Mrs. Lloyd Drum, Mrs. C.E. Schutte, and Mrs. Tom Kula, all of Columbus, and three sons, Charles Govern, of Winslow, Ariz., Paul Govern, of Ogden, Utah, and Joe Govern, who resided with his mother. Mr. Govern passed away on Oct. 17, 1914. Mrs. Govern continued to reside here until July 11, 1919, when she was married to John B. Sokol, and they made their home on his farm, northeast of Duncan. Mr. Sokol died there on Jan. 6, 1930. Mrs. Sokol was a devout member of the Catholic faith, and during her residence here attended the Catholic church regularly. When she resided near Duncan, she became a member of St. Stanislaus' church. Besides her three daughters and three sons, she is survived by nine grand children and one great grandchild.
