Bio

Married 1881 Omaha, NE ------------------------------------------ MRS. BERANEK DIES SUDDENLY Following Sickness of But 36 Hours Prominent Woman of Ord Passes to the Great Beyond This community was greatly shocked to learn of the sudden death of Mrs. J. J. Beranek. Until her death came few knew that she was even sick, so sudden was the attack and so short the sickness. Without warning she was seized with sickness at 2:00 o'clock last Saturday morning as the result uremic poisoning. She first suffered several convulsions and passed shortly into a state of semi-coma from which she never rallied so as to regain consciousness. Help was at once procured when the first symptoms of disease were manifest and all was done that medical skill could do, but she passed away at 1:10 Sunday afternoon, less than 36 hours from the beginning of the attack. Until her sickness no one supposed that she was in any danger of the attack, and it is doubtful if she had suffered any ill symptoms, for she never had any sickness or any indisposition without telling of it to her son Edward. Mrs. Josephine Beranek was born in Velka Bytes, Moravia, Austria, on March 14, 1858. She came to the United States with her parents, two sisters and one brother in 1880. In 1881 she was married to John J. Beranek in Omaha, Nebr. After their marriage they moved to Iowa City, then to Carroll, Iowa, where all of their three sons, Joseph B., of Scotia, William F., of Columbus, and Edward F., of Ord, were born. All of these sons and her husband still survive her. The Beranek family have been residents of this city for the last twenty-eight years, coming to Ord in 1887. Mrs. Beranek lived and died bearing the high esteem of all who knew her. She was evidently a thorough housewife, apparently caring more for her home than anything else. She loved to be active about the place, being often seen in her garden working. Because of her strength and apparent long lease of life her sudden death was a great shock and grief to her family. The funeral was held from the Bohemian Hall yesterday afternoon, under the auspices of the ZCBJ lodge, of which she was a member. Her body was laid to rest in the new Bohemian cemetery, being the first to be buried there. The Ord Quiz - Thur, Oct 21 1915, Pg 1, Col 6
