Frantiska Mensik, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Frank Menshik, was born at Prispo, Moravia, September 12, 1850. In 1875 she emigrated to the United States with her parents, who located near Fremont. On January 22 [ sic ], 1876, her marriage to John F. Stava was solemnized in Fremont. They settled on a homestead adjoining what is now Bruno, on the north, later moving to Bruno. Mr. Stava was a pioneer merchant, of Bruno, his store being the first building erected in the village. Four sons and three daughters, two of whom died in infancy, were born to Mr. and Mrs. Stava. They are John R. of Cedar Rapids, Iowa, Frank A. of Lincoln, Edward J. and Ralph A. of Los Angeles, Calif., and Mrs. J. V. Markitan of Bruno. There are eight grandchildren and three great-grandchildren. One sister, Mrs. Kate Corry of Omaha, is the last surviving member of the Menshik family. Members of the family present at the funeral wre Mr. and Mrs. John R. Stava of Cedar Rapids, Iowa, and son, Edward of Le Mars, Iowa; Mr. and Mrs. Frank A.

Markitan and daughter, Nettie, of Bruno; Mr. and Mrs. Everett Supencheck, of David City; and Mrs. Kate Corry of Omaha. One son, Edward J., of Los Angeles, Calif., was unable to be present. Mrs. Stava possessed a splendid character and was kindly, generous and tolerant, practicing the teachings of her Saviour in her everyday life. Her numerous friends and neighbors have cause to remember the many good deeds with which her life was filled. She had an ardent love of flowers and it was always her pleasure to give every friend who called blossoms of plants to carry home. She was devoted to her family and they in turn gave her loving care and affection. The sympathy of all is extended to the bereaved. Card of Thanks - We wish to express our appreciation for the assistance and kindness of Rev. F. J. Kopecky, the choir and our relatives and friends at the time of death our mother, Mrs. J. F. Stava.
