Bio

Married 1883 Czech -------------------------------------------- MRS. PROKOP JELINEK Anna Mares was born July 26, 1868 at Mezna, Bohemia. At the age of 20 she united in marriage to Prokop Jelinek and two years later they came to the United States, locating in Omaha, where they remained for 23 years. In 1913 they bought a farm 13 miles northeast of Ord, just across the line in Greeley county. As soon as they were able to build a house they moved with their then four living children, onto their farm, which was practically a raw prairie and commenced a new life. Year by year they have added to the improvements till it is one of the well improved farms of that part of the country. Their son Jerry got married and commenced to work for himself, then their daughter, Anna, was married to William Kokes and went to her new home in the west part of Valley county. Then their younger son Joe wanted to establish a home of his own, so the parents turned their farm over to him and bought a home in Ord, to which they moved about a year ago, to make a home for themselves and youngest son John, who is employed as a clerk with the Nu-Way cleaners. Soon after coming to Ord Mrs. Jelinek's health commenced to fail. For a while it seemed as if medical aid would bring her back to health but lately she became worse and was taken to Omaha to be cared for by their old family physician. She was operated upon for gall stones. She died on Sunday, January 17, 1926 and her remains were brought to Ord last Monday for burial. The funeral being held Wednesday morning from the Catholic church and interment was in the Catholic cemetery.
