OXFORD JUNCTION--Funeral services for Mrs. Anna Trinka, 82, were held Sunday afternoon from her home here. Rev. W. A. Wolgemuth had charge of the services with Antone Vanicek assisting in Bohemian.

Music was furnished by Mrs. Ernest Schwab, Mrs. Joe Havlik, Mrs. Palmer Vaughn and Mrs. Art Lathrop. Those serving as pallbearers were V. E. Sabotka, Vince Lasack, Vit Lasack, Tom Kosticheck, Mike Vacek and Frank Powelka. Burial was in Mayflower cemetery.

Mrs. Trinka died early Thursday morning at her home here. Since she lived alone she was not found until shortly after dinner by a neighbor, Mrs. Vacek. She had been afflicted with asthma for a number of years and suffered a hemorrhage that morning.

Born Anna Hloupy in Bohemia June 23, 1959, she was married there to John Trinka in February, 1879. A few years later they came to America and made Oxford Junction their home where Mr. Trinka was employed as a mechanic. He died 18 years ago.

Surviving are five children: Mrs. Bess Kasa, Cleveland, Ohio, Jerry and Otto Trinka, Cedar Rapids, and Charles and Mrs. Mary Carrington, Oxford Junction.
