Bio

Frantisek Sindelar (97901342) Suggested edit: Obituary: The Colfax County Press and the Clarkson Herald Consolidated (Clarkson, Nebraska) 24 Dec 1931, Thu Page 1 Clarkson Pioneer Answers Last Call The ranks of pioneer settlers of this community have lost another of their comrades. This time the call of death was answered by Frank Sindelar, Sr., who died at his home in Clarkson Sunday night, following an illness of long duration. The deceased was a respectable citizen of this community since 1873. He was born in Jickovice, Tabor, Bohemia, on the 10th day of March, 1855, his life journey having embraced a span of 76 years. When a young man of eighteen years, he left the old country and immigrated to America. He heard the clarion call of the west and came direct to Colfax county locating on a farm in the vicinity of Huen. In 1879 he was united in marriage to Miss Frances Bouzek, with whom he lived in happiness and contentment until parted by the cold hand of death. Mr. and Mrs. Sindelar left their farm near Huen in 1909 and moved to Clarkson. For all these years they maintained their home on Main street. Mr. Sindelar was a congenial man of jovial disposition and always had a good word and smile for those about him. Besides his wife, who had been his faithful companion for over a half century, the deceased leaves three sons and three daughters, Frank J. Sindelar, Clarkson; Joseph F. Sindelar, residing southeast of Clarkson, and Jerry Sindelar, who until recently made his home in Howells. The daughters are: Mary, wife of Alois Cada, Midland precinct; Anna, wife of Joseph Bartak, Madison county; Emma, wife of James Bartak, also of Madison county. In addition to his own family he leaves one sister, Mrs. Josephine Cada, and twenty-eight grandchildren. The funeral was held this Wednesday forenoon with services at the opera house conducted by Rev. B.A. Filipi. Burial was made in the Bohemian-Slovanic cemetery west of town. The large concourse of friends following the casket was a glowing tribute to his memory. Mrs. Sindelar was unable to attend the rites on account of an injury she suffered a few weeks ago when she fractured her hip in a fall. Contributor: S.

Her death is attributed to infirmities attendant to old age. She was the widow of the late Frank Sindelar, Sr., who preceded her in death in 1931. Services were conducted at the opera house by Rev. B.A. Filipi in the presence of a large gathering of relatives and friends. Burial was made in the Clarkson cemetery under the direction of F.J. Miller & Son. Mrs. Sindelar, whose maiden name was Frantiska Bouzek, was born in Moravia, Sept. 25, 1858. While a small child five years old, Mrs. Sindelar came with her parents from the old country to America. They established in Butler county, where she lived for some time. In 1880, while living in Butler county, she was united in marriage to Frank Sindelar. Following their marriage they took out a homestead in Midland precinct, Colfax county, now occupied by their grandson, Jos. V. Sindelar. About thirty-five years ago, they left the farm and moved to Clarkson to enjoy the remaining years of their life in ease and comfort. Mr. Sindelar passed away in 1931 and Mrs. Sindelar continued to make her home here. During the past year and a half she had received the tender care of Mr. and Mrs. Lumir Nadrchal, with whom she had shared her home. During her illness she was also looked after by Mrs. Marie Sedlacek and Mr. and Mrs. Joseph F. Sindelar, who frequently called at her bedside and were of assistance to her. Surviving are two daughters, Mrs. Alois Cada of Clarkson and Mrs. James Bartak of Norfolk; and two sons, Joseph F. Sindelar living southeast of Clarkson, and Jerry Sindelar of Howells. Mrs. Sindelar, besides her husband was preceded in death by two daughters, an infant daughter and Mrs. Anna Bartak, and one son, Frank J. Sindelar. Mrs. Bartak died in 1946 and her brother, Frank, passed away in 1941. She also leaves a number of grandchildren and great-grandchildren. Contributor: S. Wardell (47551395) Suggested edit: I mistakenly sent the obituary for Frantiska Sindelar to the suggested correction for her husband's memorial, so under the bio section, after the obituary for Frantiska "Frank" Sindelar, you may remove just the obituary for Frantiska. I resent her obituary correctly this time, under the suggested corrections for her memorial so you will have the reference to copy the obituary into her bio data. I do apologize for the misdirection.
