Bio

Theresia Miksch (43327366) Suggested edit: MRS. ALOIS MIKSCH DIES - Mrs. Alois Miksch, 80, living on a farm two miles east of Oconee, died at 4:25 p.m. yesterday at her farm home following a few days' illness with pneumonia. She had been bedfast since last Saturday. Mrs. Miksch, a resident of Platte county for nearly 50 years, had lived in that community since coming to the United States from her native land of Austria. As Miss Theresa Lammel, she was born in Karle, Austria, on Nov. 14, 1855, and was married there on Oct. 16, 1880 to Alois Miksch. They resided on a farm near there until 1888, when they migrated to this country. They arrived here on Sept. 25, and Mr. Miksch worked as a section hand for the Union Pacific railroad for three years, and they made their home a short distance north of Oconee. After three years of hard work and sacrifices they had accumulated enough money to purchase an 80 acre tract of land east of Oconee. The trials and tribulations they suffered narrate like that of other early day famers, and through thrift and hard work they were able to purchase three farms in Platte county, and a few years ago gave one to each of their sons. While Mrs. Miksch enjoyed most of all making a comfortable home for her husband and family, many times when they were short of help in the field, she went out and worked along with the men so that they would have their work finished in time. She has always been a devout Catholic, and was a member of St. Joseph's Catholic church in Platte Center, and also the St. Anne's society. Five years ago, Mr. and Mrs. Miksch celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary. She is survived by her husband; three sons, Louis and Albert, of Platte Center, and John, of Oconee; three daughters, Mrs. Amelia Rohrick of Bellwood, Mrs. Herman Alves of Columbus and Mrs. Edward Waldman, of Oconee; and 22 grandchildren. Funeral services will be held at 9:30 a.m. Saturday at St. Joseph's church in Platte Center, with Rev. Fr. Leo Mainzer, pastor, officiating and burial will be made in St. Patrick's cemetery. The body will be taken to the family home at 10:30 a.m. tomorrow from the McKown Funeral home.
