Two years after their marriage Mr. and Mrs. Prohaska moved to Austria, where they resided for six years, and in 1878 they came to the United States and Nebraska.

Besides the daughters, two grandchildren, Dorothy May and John Morris Seyboldt, survive. Mrs. Prohaska was a devoted wife and mother, and by her kindly and pleasing manner won many friends during her lifetime. Funeral services were held at the Prohaska home at 2:00 o'clock Wednesday afternoon, Jan. 7, in charge of Rev. William Richards. John D. Hasik also gave a talk in the Bohemian language.
