Her contribution is greatly appreciated. ~~~~~~~ Obituary Saturday night, January 7 at 11:20, Mrs. Kristina Brozovsky was called to her reward. The terrible disease of cancer of the stomach had claimed another victim. Upon making a trip to Norfolk, the week before Christmas for a medical examination, Mrs. Brozovsky learned that it was imperative she go for an operation as soon as possible. She faced this danger as bravely as she had faced each crisis before. After spending the holidays with her children, she departed for the Lutheran Hospital at Norfolk, Monday morning, January 1 in the company of two of her sons-in-law, who were to undergo a blood test preparatory to a transfusion, which was necessary that she have before going upon the table for the more serious operation. Tuesday morning the transfusion was performed. It was found that her son-in-law, Fred Juracek, possessed blood that was most closely to what was required and over a pint of blood was given. The remainder of the week after the transfusion, she felt better than she had for a long time and enjoyed visiting the various patients in the hospital and worrying little about Saturday, the day set for the operation. Friends learned of her presence in the hospital and came to see her. Friday her son, Victor, and son-in-law, Fred Dallman, drove down and stayed with her until closing time. Her daughter, Mrs. Eric P. Wendt, arrived during the night with her husband to be there during the operation the next morning. Fred Dallman entered the operating room with her and remained throughout. About four in the afternoon, it became evident the end was drawing near and there was little hope for recovery, even though she was conscious until the end. A telephone call was then put in to those of her children, who were not present and her condition reported. Her body was shipped to Verdigre, arriving here Monday morning. The funeral services were held Wednesday. A short sermon was given by Rev. Good of Winnetoon and Verdigre Churches at the home. Services at the ZCBJ Hall were conducted by the ZCBJ Lodge with W.J.
