OBITUARY -- Mary Bartunek Cutler was born September 1855 at Oujecdec, Kutna Hora county, Czechoslovakia and passed away at Wolbach, Nebr., March 25, 1943 at the age of 87 years and six months. She was baptized and confirmed in the Lutheran church in Czecho-Slovakia. In 1881 she came to the United States, working for a year in New York City and came to Wolbach in 1882. Being among the very early pioneers of this section she helped in the building of a new community, and knew the hardships and difficulties of pioneer life. She was married in 1887 at St. Paul, Neb., to Francis M. Cutler. To this union three daughters were born, the eldest, Polly, being the first child born in the new community. A daughter, Jennie died in infancy. With high courage and unselfish devotion which was an inspiration to those who knew her, she early assumed full responsibility for the support of her family. She lived until her death with her daughter, Mrs. Polly Greer Marcoe, and son-in-law, D. H. Marcoe. Surviving are the two daughters, Mrs. Marcoe and Mrs. Barbara Hansen of Ericson; a brother, John Bartunek of St. Paul; four half-brothers, Frank and Louis Bartunek of Wolbach, Antone Bartunek of Ord and James Bartunek of Loup city; seven grandchildren, 2d Lt. Victoria Hansen, A.N.C., Mrs. Margaret Banks, Mrs. Alice Kesselder, Mrs. Doris Wooley, Carl, Norman and Clifford Hansen and ten great grandchildren and other relatives. CARD OF THANKS – We extend our heartfelt thanks to the neighbors and friends for their thoughtfulness and to everyone who helped in any way during the long illness and at the time of the death of our beloved mother and grandmother. Mr. and Mrs. D. H. Marcoe, Mr. and Mrs. Peder Hansen, The Grandchildren.
