Bio

Mrs. Charlie A. Kurtz Sr. of Shiner, nee Mary Roznovsky, passed away at 10:30 a.m. Friday, November 24 at M.D. Anderson Hospital in Houston where she had been a patient, for almost two weeks. Her illness extended over a period of some three years. She attained the age of 70 years, one month and 6 days. The body lay in state at the Buffington Funeral Home, Shiner, until 1:30 p.m. Sunday, November 26, 1972, when it was taken to Sts. Cyril and Methodius’ Catholic Church where Requiem Mass was offered at 2:30 p.m. by the Rev. Msgr. John J. Hanacek. Burial was in the Shiner Catholic Cemetery. Serving as pallbearers were two grandsons, Edward James Kurtz of Austin, and Gregory Kurtz of Shiner; nephews, Dennis Mraz, Frankie Miculka, Herman Kurtz, all of Shiner, and Jimmie Joe Roznovsky of Port Lavaca. Rosaries were recited at the Buffington Chapel Saturday, November 25 at 6:15 p.m. by the KJZT and Altar Societies and at 6:30 p.m. by the Parish. Members of the KJZT, Altar Society and Legion Auxiliary attended the services for their fellow member and formed an honor guard at the church. Mrs. Kurtz, the eldest of eleven children, was born October 18, 1902, near Shiner, daughter of Frank and Cecelia (Machlicek) Roznovsky, natives respectively of Shiner and Sweet Home, Texas. She was reared on the family farm and attended Sunset School. In 192, she was married to Charlie A. Kurtz in Shiner. They farmed in the Shiner area until their retirement and moved in 1958 to their present residence on North Avenue H in Shiner. Surviving are her husband, Charlie A. Kurtz Sr. of Shiner; three sons, George Kurtz of Yoakum, Edward Kurtz of Cuero, Allen Kurtz of Smithville; two stepsons, A_____ J. and Charlie Kurtz Jr., all of Shiner; a stepdaughter, Mrs. Virgil (Gladys) Carpenter of Cuero; one brother, Albert Roznovsky of Shiner; three sisters, Mrs. Albert (Della) Baros, Mrs. Roman (Ella) Miculka, both of Shiner, Mrs. E.L. (Rosie) McArthur of Houston; six grandchildren, four great-grandchildren; numerous nieces and nephews. She was preceded in death by her father, September 23, 1935; her mother, May 8, 1958; three brothers, Jim Roznovsky, December 23, 1956; Mike Roznovsky, September 30, 1960; and one who died in infancy; three sisters, Mrs. Annie Balusek-Klecka, March 12, 1943; Mrs. Ed. (Julie) Mraz, November 25, 1970. Peaceful death terminated her suffering, calmed her body and eased her soul into the hands of the One she was prepared to meet. Always unselfish, always faithful, nothing was too difficult for her busy hands to accomplish for others. Her family and loved ones have suffered a great loss in her death. Her memory will continue dear and precious to them and to many who have been the beneficiaries of her devoted care, wise counsel and warmness of heart. The host of friends attending the last rites and hundreds of beautiful floral and spiritual tributes bore mute testimony to the high esteem in which she was held.
