Ed Libersky and Vaney Libersky
Ed Libersky, 36, and his brother, Vaney Libersky, 30, were killed instantly in a small airplane crash in the town of St. Ansgar during Fourth of July celebrations on July 4, 1934. A pilot from Ackley had been giving plane rides all day, for a fee. Following some kind of engine failure, the plane crashed in front of an apartment house in the southeast part of town. Besides Ed and Vaney, the pilot, Fred Symington and two other's were killed. The following is from the Mason City paper dated July 5th.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Libersky Funeral Friday.
Double funeral rites for the Libersky brothers will be conducted Friday afternoon at the residence in St. Ansgar. Burial will be made in the St. Ansgar cemetery.
The Libersky brothers, both unmarried, were the sons of Mr. and Mrs. A. L. Libersky. The father is a retired farmer. The elder, son has been employed in maintenance work on the county highway system. Vaney, the younger brother, has been employed at times by H. B. Hansen in the local grain elevator.
The genius of the older brother in the manufacture of violins, despite his handicap of having only one arm, brought him considerable recognition. It was the steel hook which, took the place of the missing member that resulted in his identification, his body having been disfigured more than any of the other four victims. He had done considerable flying, it was stated by neighbors.
Four brothers and two sisters survive the Liberskys. The sisters are Mrs. Louis Volney and Mrs. Elmer Nelson, both of St. Ansgar: and the brothers are Joe, Lyle, Minn.; Frank, John and Charles of St. Ansgar.
