Bio

From The Palmer Journal, September 18, 1930, page 1, transcribed by Linda Berney: Bessie Santin was born at Doubravice, Bohemia, April 14, 1880 and passed away at the farm home northeast of Palmer, September 10, 1930, aged 50 years, 4 months and 17 days. She came to the United States with her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Frank Santin, Sr. in 1885. They settled in lower Loup valley in 1886 where she continued to reside up to the time of her death. Her father preceded her in death twenty-eight years ago, and one sister, Annie Santin, thirty-eight years ago. She was married to John Janda August 2, 1921. The first years of their married life were spent happily. during the past year they have had many misfortunes to mar their happiness, John having been injured and forced to spend a long time in the Coolidge Hospital. Soon after his recovery their home and all the contents were destroyed by fire. Immediately after this, Mrs. Janda became seriously ill. She was treated for a while at the local hospital after which they spent many weeks in California, with a specialist. In spite of the best care that the medical profession could give, she gradually grew weaker up to the time of her death. She leaves to mourn her premature death, her husband, her aged mother, who is past 89, and whom Mrs. Janda had given the most tender care for many years, one sister, Mrs. John Santin, three brothers, James, frank and Joe Santin, all residents of lower Loup, several nieces and nephews, and many other relatives, besides a host of friends. The bereaved relatives have the sympathy of their many friends in their sorrow. Funeral services were conducted on Friday afternoon at the Christian Church in Palmer, by the local pastor, L. O. Huitt. A very elaborate display of flowers were contributed by the family and their many friends. The pall bearers were two of Mr. Janda's brothers, Frank of Omaha, and Hubert of Wahoo, John and Anton Pelican, Frank Wymer and O. J. Keller. The flower attendants were four nieces of the deceased, Mrs. Tillie Prokup, Alice, Albie and Mildred Santin. A few choice selections of songs were rendered by Mrs. Perry Herring, Mrs. Ralph Hettrich, Robert Fisher and Elmer Maddox; Mrs. Leona Swanson, pianist. Interment was made in Rose Hill Cemetery at Palmer.
