Source: Montgomery Messenger May 2, 1924 Mrs. Barbara Beran, one of the beloved women of our city, passed away at the home of her daughter, Mrs. Albert Janovsky, in this city, at two o'clock last Sunday morning following an illness of long duration. For over a year she had been failing in health due to an attack of asthma and for the past two months, she was in a serious condition and was obliged to remain in bed.

In the year 1882 they left the farm and moved to Le Sueur Center, where they lived until 1896, when they came to this city to spend their reclining years.
