*Agnes Faska birth or parents not known died May 30, 1965 with burial at Ottumwa Cemetery.

Her name was Agnes Miskei, this being the original Hungarian spelling. She married Peter Miskei at the age of 17. They were both from the little village of Dusnok in southeastern Hungary. She was born in 1892.She and her infant daughter, Ezterka, also called Agnes, arrived aboard a ship at Baltimore in January 1911 and traveled to join her husband, a coal miner, in Cokedale, CO. They had 7 children, little Agnes who died at age 3, Pete, Mike, Paul, Adam, Martha and baby Vince who died at age 1. Her last surviving child, Martha, died last December. Many of her relatives from Dusnok emigrated to the US in early 1900's and 1920's. Her parents were among them but I have not yet figured out which Facskos they were. Many Facskos settled in Ohio and the Detroit area and some eventually in Canada.

Cemetery says they have no record of this burial but, Johnson Funeral home says she is buried there.
