Bio
Maiden Name: Hanna Born Dec.13,1860 Died Feb.23,1949 Married Aug. 1, 1879 to John R. Hunzeker. Mother of ten children: Rose, Frank, Edd, Will, Ida, Albert, Elizabeth, Ben, a girl unnamed, and Emma. Find A Grave contributor Luella Hinrichsen has made a suggestion: TABLE ROCK ARGUS, March 3, 1949. (Pg.5) MRS. JOSEPHINE HUNZEKER Josephine Hanna, daughter of Joseph and Maria Hanna, was born in Czechoslovakia. December 13, 1860 and passed away at the home of her daughter, Lizzie Rist, on February 23, 1949 at the age of 88 years, 2 months and 10 days. Mrs. Hunzeker came to America and the state of Nebraska in 1871. She was united in marriage August 1, 1879 to John R. Hunzeker, who preceded her in death December 31, 1939. To this union were born ten children, two having died in infancy. Those surviving her are three daughters, Rosa Rist and Lizzie Rist, Humboldt, and Emma Flider, Loveland, Colo.; five sons: Frank and Albert, Humboldt, and Edward, William and Ben, Table Rock; 1 step-daughter, Christina Blecha; 11 grandchildren and 13 great-grandchildren. Mrs. Hunzeker spent most of her years in Pawnee County. She lived four years in St. Joseph, Mo. and 20 years in Humboldt. She made her home from October 8, 1944 until the time of her death with her daughter, Lizzie. She is the last one of the Hannas and Hunzekers in her generation. During her pioneer days she fed many hungry Indians who came to her door begging for food. ********************************************************** They had the most beautiful big stone home, by the time I played there it was lined with nice shade trees along that wall, with a glider swing that was a special place to play! The farm was set up so nice with a huge barn northeast of the house with the west door you could drive in and unload hay. There was a drive way from the road making a long loop north and then west, it went to the future home of Rudy and Mae Hunzeker. There always seemed to be pretty little rocks along that lane that I loved to pick up. I was sent with a fruit jar of cold water for the hay crew, it was sweating and slick, it slipped out of my hands and broke cutting my foot. I felt so bad that I broke the jar of water, if I cried it would have been because of that, not the cut.
