Bio

Married Vaclav Mazanec circa 1850. Emigrated to the United States in 1872 and settled in Butler County, Nebr. where she and her husband farmed in Skull Creek Township. Birth date calculated from age at death. ''''''''''''''''''''''''''''' People's Banner (David City, Nebr.), February 23, 1905, p. 1, col. 5 Bruno "Grandma" Mazanec who lived three miles southwest of Bruno, died of paralysis, on Thursday of last week. She was among the pioneer settlers of this county having resided here since 1872. The funeral was held at St's Peter and Paul's church, Abie, Saturday at 11 a.m. Interment in the Abie cemetery. A large number from this vicinity attended the funeral. __ p. 5, col. 5 Old Couple Pass Away. On Tuesday February 14th "Grandma" Mazanec died at her home three miles northwest of Bruno, of paralysis. Arrangements were made for the funeral to be held on Saturday from the Catholic church in Abie, but as the friends gathered at the Mazanec home in the morning they were informed that "Grandpa" Mazanec had died early that morning and that the funeral would be postponed until Monday. On Monday, February 20, the funeral of this aged couple was held at the Abie church, services being conducted by Rev. Father Zalud of Bruno. The remains of this loving old couple were laid to rest side by side in the same grave in the Abie cemetery. Mr. and Mrs. Mazanec moved from Moravia, Europe, to this country in the spring of 1871, locating on a piece of land three miles northwest of Bruno, where they resided continuously for nearly 34 years, braving all the hard times and trials of pioneer life, which all the early settlers endured, such as crop failures by drouth, grass hoppers, etc., when farmers were often left with but little besides their sod houses. The old gentleman was strong and robust all his life, up to nearly the last hour, when he died suddenly. He often made the remark that in case his wife died first, he wanted to die too, as he did not want to live here without her, and thus it was, for in four days after her death, he passed away, and while they lived happy together in this life let us hope that their spirits may dwell together in perpetual happiness beyond the grave.
