'''''''''''''' Butler County Press (David City, Nebr.), February 17, 1916, p. 7, col. 3 Abie Mrs. Peter Svoboda died at her home in Saunders county Monday, Feb. 7, after illness of but a few days. The funeral services were held Wednesday in the Abie Catholic church. Burial was in the Catholic cemetery. Mrs. Svoboda is survived by her husband and six children and by her parents, one sister and three brothers. ''''''''' People's Banner (David City, Nebr.), March 2, 1916, supplement, col. 1 MRS. P. F. SVOBODA Mrs. P. F. Svoboda was born in Iowa March 21, 1869, and died at her farm home in Saunders county, near Linwood, on Monday, February 14, 1916, after a brief illness lasting only a little over a week. The deceased came to Nebraska with her parents in early childhood and grew to womanhood on a farm a few miles east of Abie. She was married to P. F. Svoboda on October 23, 1894. To this union were born seven children, four daughters and three sons. Of these, the youngest is six years of age and the oldest 19. Mrs. Svoboda was a capable, energetic and efficient woman of cheerful disposition, loved and admired by a wide circle of friends and acquaintances, and ever held in the highest esteem by all who came to know her intimately. She was a faithful wife, a loving mother and a model housekeeper. Few women were superior to her in these characteristics, and all those who were near and dear to her deeply feel their great loss. Especially will she be missed in the family circle of which she was the center for over twenty happy years, and by her aged parents whose declining years she made glad by faithful ministrations which only the tender hand of a loving daughter can render. The blow to the bereaved family and close relatives is doubly hard since Mrs. Svoboda died suddenly and unexpectedly. She had been assisting in caring for her aged mother who was sick, and the strain coupled with a rather severe touch of cold almost forced her to abandon her vigil at the bedside of the old lady. Neither she nor her family and friends attributed much weight to her illness, thinking it was only temporary, for she was about her daily duties as usual most of the time to the very last. But the death angel came and closed her eyes in the last sleep peacefully shortly after 3 o’clock on Monday morning. Heart failure was the direct cause of her death and she expired seemingly without pain and struggle, the end coming while she was resting on a reclining chair. Her husband who had been up with her during the night, at her urgent request, lay down to get a little sleep, slumbered restlessly for but a few minutes when a slight scraping of the chair awoke him. He jumped up immediately and rushed to his wife only to see her gasp a few times and expire. The funeral services were held from the family home and the Abie church on Wednesday forenoon, February 16, 1916, and interment was made in the church cemetery. Rev. Father Nemec officiated at the home and church and at the cemetery. He read the high mass. He spoke in the highest terms of the deceasaed, and his words of consolation certainly helped not only to lighten the sorrow of the bereaved family, but carried a sweet message to all who heard him. Choir, consisting of Misses Tillie Shimerka and Mary Prochaska, and Messrs. Vincent Shimerka, Jerold Shimerka and Frank Vydlak, sang several appropriate and beautiful selections. The funeral was one of the largest ever held in the Abie community, and the many beautiful floral tributes were silent yet most eloquent proof of the popularity of the deceased. The pallbearers were J. P. Svoboda, J. L. Humlicek, Tom Beranek, Frank Vavak, Jr., John J. Vavak and F. J. Svoboda. Besides the bereaved husband and children, Mrs. Svoboda is survived by her aged parents, Mr. and Mrs. Vaclav Roh of near Abie; by one sister, Mrs. Tom Beranek near Rogers; and by three brothers, F. J. Roh of Bruno, James W. Roh of near Abie, and J. F. Roh of Abie. Several sisters have preceded her to the great beyond. The deepest sympathy is extended to the bereaved relatives. __ col. 3 CARD OF THANKS We desire in this way to express our sincere and heartfelt thanks to all our friends for their many kindnesses extended and for floral offerings. P. F. Svoboda and family.
