OBITUARY.
TRUKA.

Lena Neubauer was born in Bohemia, January 1, 1853, and after an illness of about three years passed away January 14, 1919, at the age of 66 years and 14 days. On February 14, 1897{?}, she was united in marriage to Jacob Truka. They came to this country in 1882, and have resided on the same place until the time of her death. Those who are left to mourn her loss are her husband and children who are Mrs. Frank Daws, Seattle, Wash., Mrs. Emil Harnack, Mrs. Wm. Kovarik; Mrs. Frank Prochaska, and one son, Joseph Truka, four grandchildren, Albert and Alice Harnack, Leonard Kovarik and Leota Daws, three brothers, Joseph, James and Anton Neubauer, and one sister, Mrs. Jos. Vajta, of South Dakota. They were all at her bedside at the time of her death, except one daughter, Mrs. Daws. The funeral was held Thursday morning from the Lady of Lourdes Church conducted by Rev. P. Hogan.

You have left our home dear mother,
That voice we loved is still,
But we hope to meet in Heaven
For we know it was God’s Will.
--A Friend.
CARD OF THANKS.
We wish to thank our friends and neighbors who so kindly assisted in the sickness and death of our beloved wife and mother.
JACOB TRUKA AND FAMILY.

Transcriber’s Note: I question the year of their marriage as it sounds like they came to America after they were married. It was possibly 1879 instead of 1897.
