Bio

PROMINENT FARMER DEAD It becomes our painful duty to record today the death of our good citizen, Joseph Turek, sr., who passed from this life at his home in Geranium township last Sunday forenoon. For a great many years he has been more or less a sufferer from some disorder, but it was not till at the last that it was known that his trouble was cancer of the stomach. Of late he has been in critical condition and only a few weeks ago he went to Columbus to have treatment, but he was sent home with the sad announcement that nothing could be done for him. He came home to die, bravely as he had lived all his life. Mr. Turek, was born in Bohemia, on July 20, 1850, and has lived in Valley county for thirty years. Other facts of his life we are unable to give, much as we would like to do so. The life of a man like Jos. Turek is worth studying, and it would have been a pleasure to us to give more in detail the things he has done during a lifetime of nearly 65 years. But we do know something of his life since he came to Valley county. He came here 30 years ago and settled on one of the farms that he still owns. He was a man of great energy and supreme good sense. Diligent in his own business affairs he has succeeded better than the average man. Were you ever at his farm? Then you know that is is one of the neatest and most thrifty of farms. A farmer such as he is is an inspiration and good example to anyone. His funeral was held from the Bohemian hall in Ord yesterday and was largely attended. The address of the occasion was made by Ignatius Klima. He leaves a wife, 5 sons and 4 daughters, all of whom were at the funeral. The Ord Quiz Thur, Jun 10 1915, Pg 1, Col 2
