Bio
The Walthill Times (Walthill, Nebraska) 20 Sep 1928, Thu Page 10 J.E. Cherny Succumbs Well-known Walthill Offical Expires After Prolonged Illness After a prolonged illness of six months Joe Cherny expired at his home in Walthill, Friday, September 14, 1928. Early in March Mr. Cherny was stricken with an illness that sent him to the hospital under the physician's care. Later he was removed to his home without material progress toward recovery and since unable to take up his work in his office. A few weeks later he resigned the office of justice of the peace which he had ably administered in the village for a number of years. He took a position at the Cherny & Watson lumber office, of which his brother John Cherny of North Bend, was senior partner. A lawyer by profession, he gave his attention to legal work and later was made justice of the peace for this precinct, an office which has ever filled acceptably, fearlessly and equitably, with that quality of justice tempered with mercy which is ever the trait of a wise jurist. Joseph E. Cherny was the son of Vaclav and Anna Shurick Cherny, who came to America from Bohemia and settled in Nebraska. He was born May 27, 1876, on a farm near Linwood, in Saunders County, Nebraska. He attended the North Bend high school from which he graduated in 1896. Later he graduated from the law school at the University of Nebraska in 1902. Before coming to Walthill Mr. Cherny lived at Schuyler and at one time held the position of County Judge of Colfax county. On April 11, 1903 he was united in marriage with Miss Julia Hrabak, daughter of Chas. Hrabak of Dodge and sister of Chas. J. Hrabak, who founded the "Golden Rule Store in the early days of the village. They have one son, Charles, who is still with his mother, and two children died in infancy. A short funeral service was conducted by Rev. John Schultz in the home at 1 o'clock Sunday afternoon and the body was taken to North Bend and Morse Bluffs for interment in the Bohemian cemetery near those towns. Mr. Cherny was a plain, modest man, judicious and conservative in temperament and commanded universal respect for his integrity in this community, in which he was a valued as well as esteemed citizen.
