Her death occurred at the Eral home in Pocahontas on Tuesday, July 12th, following several weeks of illness and suffering with cancer. On May 15th, 1870 she married Martin Eral, who was also a native of Bohemia and who had, like herself, first made his American home in Chicago. They moved to Pocahontas county on March 19th, 1880, and rented what was then know as the Litt's farm. A few years later they bought an 120 acre tract south of Pocahontas. It was there that Mr. Eral was thrown from a horse and fatally injured. His death occurred on May 7th, 1899, 28 years ago. Mrs. Eral and her children continued to live on the home farm, now owned by Henry Deheck, until 1909 when Mrs. Eral and her son, Louis and daughter, Alvina, moved to Fort Dodge. In 1910 they went to Bellville, Kansas, where the family lived for one year and then moved to a farm near Pawnee City, Nebraska. Their home was at that place until 1914 when the Erals came back to Pocahontas county to live on the farm now occupied by her son, Louis. In 1917 Mrs. Eral and her daughter came to Pocahontas to live and in 1925 they moved into their new home across the street from the public school building. During these later years she divided her time between her son Louis' home near Havelock and her own residence in this city. Mr. and Mrs. Eral played an important part in the pioneer development of the county. Following her husband's death Mrs. Eral took charge of the home farm, and was the first landowner in this territory to give consent to sell right-of-way to the Gowrie and Northwestern railroad company, who built what is now the Rock Island line through Pocahontas. Some difficulty was met with by the the railroad officials in their attempt to build across Pocahontas county but Mrs. Eral's act paved the way for the railroad which now serves us.
